Actual exam question for NABP's NAPLEX exam
Question #: 90
Topic #: 1
[All NAPLEX Questions]

What is the weight of 1000 ml of serum protein whose specific gravity is 1.27?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Serum chloride levels should ideally fall between 96-106 mEq/L. For this reason, the patient's chloride level has come back as normal.

1.27 gm seems way too low for serum protein.

I feel like I might confuse the units. I remember something about converting between mg and gm, but I think this question is straightforward with just grams.

I practiced a similar question where we had to calculate the weight of a liquid based on its specific gravity. I think the answer was always in grams, so I’m leaning towards 1270 gm.

I’m a bit unsure about the units here. Is it 1.27 times 1000 ml directly? That seems like it would give me grams, but I hope I’m not missing something.

I remember that specific gravity is the ratio of the weight of a substance to the weight of an equal volume of water. So, I think I need to multiply the specific gravity by the volume in ml.

Okay, I think I see it now. The key is recognizing that specific gravity is a unitless ratio, so we can just multiply the volume by the specific gravity to get the weight in the same units as the volume, which is grams. Simple enough!

Alright, I got this. The specific gravity of 1.27 means the serum protein is 1.27 times denser than water. So if 1 ml of water weighs 1 gram, then 1 ml of this serum protein would weigh 1.27 grams. And since there's 1000 ml, the total weight would be 1.27 x 1000 = 1270 grams.

Wait, I'm a little confused. Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance, usually water. So how do I use that to calculate the weight? I'm not sure I'm understanding this correctly.

Hmm, this seems straightforward enough. I just need to plug in the values and do the calculation. Let me see... 1000 ml x 1.27 = 1270 gm. I think that's the right answer.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. The question gives us the volume of the serum protein as 1000 ml and the specific gravity as 1.27. To find the weight, we need to use the formula: weight = volume x specific gravity.

1270 grams? Are you kidding me? That's like, a whole ton of serum protein. I'm gonna go with E) 1.27 grams, because that sounds a little more reasonable.

Okay, so we've got a specific gravity of 1.27, and we need to figure out the weight of 1000 ml. Wait, isn't that just the volume? I'm gonna go with B) 127 mg, just to be safe.

I'm going to go with D) 12.7 grams. That specific gravity has gotta mean something, and it's definitely not milligrams. Gotta use that brain power, you know?
