Need a lot of help!
Specific gravity of a drug is 0.9815. How many cc of this drug should be administered for a dose of 215mg?
0.9815 g/cc x ?cc = 0.215 g. Solve for ?cc.
It does not have anything by the cc.
Thanks for the help!
The specific gravity is 0.9815; that is 0.9815 g/cc. Solve my equation for ? cc.
To find out how many cc of the drug should be administered for a dose of 215mg, we need to use the specific gravity of the drug.
The specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of its density to the density of a reference substance. In this case, specific gravity = density of drug / density of reference substance.
Since the density of the reference substance is not given, we cannot directly convert specific gravity to density. However, we can assume that the density of water is approximately 1 g/mL, which is a commonly used reference substance.
To calculate the volume (cc) of the drug to be administered, we'll start by finding the mass (g) of the drug. We can use the formula:
Mass (g) = Dose (mg) / specific gravity
In this case, Mass = 215 mg and specific gravity = 0.9815.
Mass = 215 mg / 0.9815 = 219.38 g
Now, since the density of water is approximately 1 g/mL, we can assume the drug has the same density.
Therefore, the volume (cc) of the drug to be administered = mass (g) = 219.38 cc.
So, for a dose of 215mg of a drug with a specific gravity of 0.9815, approximately 219.38 cc of the drug should be administered.
