  If all the alcohol were immediately absorbed into her bloodstream, what would her blood alcohol content be? Explain why it is fortunate that, in reality, the alcohol is not absorbed immediately

Click here to know the Answer to Question 1(A)

ANS: (A) 19 gm / 5000 ml = 0.0038 gm per ml

ANS: (A) 20 gm / 6000 ml = 0.0033 gm per ml

ANS: (A) 20 gm / 4000 ml = 0.005 gm per ml

ANS: (A) 21 gm / 6000 ml = 0.0035 gm per ml



  Again assume that all the alcohol is absorbed immediately, but now assume that her body eliminates the alcohol (through metabolism) at a rate of 10 grams per hour. What is her blood alcohol content 3 hours after drinking the wine? Is it safe for her to drive at this time? Explain.

  If all the alcohol were immediately absorbed into his bloodstream, what would his blood alcohol content be? Explain why it is fortunate that, in reality, the alcohol is not absorbed immediately.

  Again assume that all the alcohol is absorbed immediately, but now assume that his body eliminates the alcohol (through metabolism) at a rate of 15 grams per hour. What is his blood alcohol content 4 hours after drinking the liquor? Is it safe for him to drive at this time? Explain.

  Again assume the alcohol is absorbed immediately, but now assume that her body eliminates the alcohol (through metabolism) at a rate of 10 grams per hour. What is her blood alcohol content 3 hours after drinking the wine? Is it safe for her to drive at this time? Explain.
