Rx: 2% Testosterone qs ad Petroleum Jelly 240gm
How many ml of Testosterone is needed to make this compound?
it really is 2% of 240gm shown in mls
milliliters pharmacy
4.8 g of testosterone added to 235.2 g of petroleum jelly will give you a 2% ratio (by mass) of testosterone and a total of 240 g.
To know the volume of the added testosterone, you need to know its chemical form and density. These are questions I asked earlier.
i got the 4.8 but not sure where to take it from there they do give you a hint of testostrone is 100mg/1ml, i know i need to use demensional analysis but not sure how to lay it out this is the first time I have ever done it
To determine the volume of Testosterone required to make this compound, we need to know the concentration of the Testosterone solution.
The given prescription mentions "2% Testosterone." This means that 2% of the compound is Testosterone, and the remaining 98% is petroleum jelly.
Let's assume that the given compound is in the form of a solution, where 2% concentration means 2 grams of Testosterone dissolved in 100 grams of petroleum jelly.
To calculate the amount of Testosterone needed in milliliters (ml), we need to convert the grams of Testosterone to milliliters. The density of Testosterone is needed for this conversion. Let's assume the density of Testosterone is 1 gram per milliliter (g/ml).
Given:
- Testosterone concentration: 2% (2 grams of Testosterone in 100 grams of petroleum jelly)
- Petroleum Jelly quantity: 240 grams
- Testosterone density: 1 g/ml
First, we calculate the weight (in grams) of Testosterone in the compound:
Testosterone weight = (2 / 100) * 240 grams = 4.8 grams
Since the density of Testosterone is 1 g/ml, the volume of Testosterone needed will be equal to its weight in grams:
Testosterone volume = 4.8 ml
Therefore, to make this compound, you would need 4.8 ml of Testosterone.
What does "qs ad" mean?
Do you mean testosterone propionate? or testosterone cyprionate?
Do you happen to know its density?
I thought mls was a term used by realtors (multiple listing service). I cannot help you given the incomplete information you have provided.
Is this for a math class or a pharmacy class?
