Answer:
7 mL
Explanation:
Given that:
mass of an oral solution = 500 mg
solution in mL = 5mL
Thus, the ratio = 5 mL/500 mg
= 0.01 mL/mg
since 1000 mg = 1g
∴
= 0.01 mL/mg × 1000 mg/1g
= 10 mL/g
Now, suppose the amount of 0.7 g dosage is required:
∴
the needed amount of mL will be:
= 10 mL/g × 0.7 g
= 7 mL
