Chapter 1.8, Problem 1.26P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume in milliliters equivalent to a dosage of $160\text{ mg}$ is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Density is defined as mass per unit volume. Mass and volume are physical quantities and the units of mass and volume are fundamental units. Density is calculated by the ratio of mass and volume. The unit of volume is derived from the units of mass and volume. The SI unit of density is ${\text{kg/m}}^{\text{3}}$ . The formula to calculate volume from density is as follows:

  $\text{Volume}\left(\text{mL}\right)=\left(\text{density }\left(\text{mg/mL}\right)\right)\left(\text{mass }\left(\text{mg}\right)\right)$
