Summary Introduction

To determine:

The mass in grams of phenylephrine required to prepare $20\text{mL}$ of $10\%$ solution for a glaucoma patient.

Introduction:

In the case of solid solute it is convenient to express its concentration in mass/volume $\left(\text{m/v}\right)$. The concentration is expressed as,

$\text{m/v}\text{\%}=\frac{\text{Mass}\text{of}\text{solute}\left(g\right)}{\text{Volume}\text{of}\text{solution}}\times 100$
