1. A patient is receiving an intravenous infusion containing 40 mEq of potassium chloride (KCL molecular weight = 74.5) in 1000 mL of Dextrose 5% in Half Normal Saline.. The infusion has been running at a rate of 80 mL per hour for the past 6.5 hours. Following a lab report showing the patient's serum potassium level to be 3.5 mEq/L, the physician decides to increase the potassium dose while slowing the infusion flow rate to 40 mL per hour. The physician prescribes potassium chloride injection (14.9 % KCI) to be added to the remainder of the 1000mL bag above such that the patient will receive a total of 80 mEq of potassium over the remaining time for completion of the infusion. How many MILLILITERS of the potassium chloride injection should be added to the bag so the patient can receive a total of 80mEq in the time and fluid left? mL (use 3 significant figures)
