The table shows urine collected over two equal periods from the same healthy person.
Table
| Period | Urine volume in cm3\mathrm{cm^3}cm3 | Urea concentration in g dm−3\mathrm{g\,dm^{-3}}gdm−3 |
|---|---|---|
| P | 600 | 20 |
| Q | 300 | 40 |
Use mass=concentration×volume\mathrm{mass}=\mathrm{concentration}\times\mathrm{volume}mass=concentration×volume, with volume in dm3\mathrm{dm^3}dm3.
Which comparison is correct?
the same urea mass is excreted; Q is consistent with less water reabsorption
twice the urea mass is excreted in Q; Q is consistent with more water reabsorption
the same urea mass is excreted; Q is consistent with more water reabsorption
half the urea mass is excreted in Q; Q is consistent with less water reabsorption
