Chapter 8.7, Problem 8.16P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of diluted solution required to be administered to provide a dosage of $75\text{ mg}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

When a solution is diluted the number of moles of the solute remains constant. Mathematically this can be expressed as follows:

  $\text{Number of moles}=\text{Molarity}\times \text{Volume}$

This can be rewritten as follows:

  $\text{MV}=\text{constant}$

The dilution formula is given as follows:

  ${\text{C}}_1{\text{V}}_1={\text{C}}_2{\text{V}}_2$
