Question

How many milliliters of a 0.40%(w/v) solution of nalorphine must be injected to obtain a dose of 1.5 mg?

Answer 1

0.375mL of solution of nalorphine must be injected

Step-by-step explanation:

A solution of 0.40% (w/v) contains 0.40g of solute (In this case, nalorphine), in 100mL of solution. To obtain 1.5mg of nalorphine = 1.5x10⁻³g of nalorphine are needed:

1.5x10⁻³g * (100mL / 0.40g) =

0.375mL of solution of nalorphine must be injected
