Chapter 9, Problem 9.58AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Volume in milliliters of a $\text{0}\text{.40\%(m/v)}$ of solution nalorphine must be injected to obtain a dose of $\text{1}\text{.5mg}$ has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Mass/volume percentage, $\left(\text{m/v}\right)\text{\%,}$ is often used for solutions of solids in liquids is given by, $\text{(m/v)\%}\text{=}\frac{\text{Mass}\text{of}\text{solute(g)}}{\text{Volume}\text{of}\text{solution(mL)}}\text{×}\text{100}$

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