Intravenous feeding, glucose

Glucose, C6Hi206, in water is often used for intravenous feeding. Sometimes sodium ions are added to the solution. A pharmacist prepares a solution by adding 2.0 mg of sodium ions (in the form of NaCl), 6.00 g of glucose, and 112 g of water. 

Identify the major species in each of the following aqueous solutions (a) Na CH3 CO2 (sodium acetate) (b) HCIO4 (perchloric acid) (c) Cg Hi 2 Og (glucose, used for intravenous feeding) and (d) NH3 (ammonia, used for household cleaning). 

Glucose, C6H1206, is commonly mixed with water to make intravenous feeding solutions. What would be the vapor pressure of a solution where 60.0 g of glucose (molar mass 180.16 g) is dissolved in 700.0 g HzO at 22°C The vapor pressure of pure water at 22°C is 19.83 mm Hg. 

Glucose (C6H1206) is the main substance in a solution used for intravenous feeding. How many grams of glucose must be dissolved in water in order to prepare 500 g of 5% solution by mass ... 

Glucose, a simple sugar, is the main component of intravenous feeding liquids. Its common name is dextrose. It is also one of the products of carbohydrate metabolism. 

In nine patients a central venous catheter had been placed for indications other than intravenous feeding. These central venous lines were then used for parenteral alimentation. As soon as the catheters were no longer considered essential for their care, supplementary nutrition was given through a peripheral vein in two of these children. In three additional patients the latter route was used entirely. Infusate for the central venous catheters was a hypertonic glucose solution containing 5% protein hydrolysate and 900 calories per liter ("MGH 900", see chapter by Dr. Fischer). 

All enteral feeds were stopped. The baby was given intravenous glucose, L-arginine, sodium benzoate, and sodium phenylacetate. Hemodialysis was initiated. At this time, there were no spontaneous respirations, there was no response to painful stimuli, and brainstem reflexes were absent. The plasma amino acid results revealed a glutamine level of 1500 pmol/L (normal 254-823), and citrulline was undetectable (normal 10-34 pmol/L). Quantitative carnitine, plasma acylcarnitine, and urine organic acid profiles were normal. The urine orotic acid concen-...
