Question

You need to add 300 mg of amiodarone to 250 mL of glucose 5%. How many mg/mL of amiodarone is this?

A. 1 mg/mL
B. 1.2 mg/mL
C. 4.2 mg/mL
D. 8.3 mg/mL

Answer 1

The concentration of amiodarone in a 250 mL glucose 5% solution after adding 300 mg of amiodarone is 1.2 mg/mL, which corresponds to option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question is how many mg/mL of amiodarone will be in a 250 mL solution when 300 mg of amiodarone is added. To find the concentration of amiodarone in the solution, we use the formula for concentration which is mass of solute (in mg) divided by the volume of solution (in mL).

The calculation would be as follows:

Concentration of Amiodarone = Mass of Amiodarone / Volume of Solution

Concentration of Amiodarone = 300 mg / 250 mL

Concentration of Amiodarone = 1.2 mg/mL

So, the correct option is B. 1.2 mg/mL.
