. Four tablespoons of extract are mixed with 240 ml of oral suspension base. What is the final concentration of the suspension?
figure how many ml in 4 tbsp.
If there are x, then the suspension is 240/(240+x) of the whole.
To find the final concentration of the suspension, we need to determine the amount of extract in a given volume of the suspension.
First, we must convert the volume of extract from tablespoons to milliliters (ml):
1 tablespoon = 14.79 ml (approximately)
So, 4 tablespoons = 4 * 14.79 ml = 59.16 ml
Now, let's calculate the total volume of the suspension:
Total volume = 240 ml
Next, we can calculate the concentration of extract in the suspension:
Concentration = (Volume of extract / Total volume) * 100
Concentration = (59.16 ml / 240 ml) * 100
Concentration ≈ 24.65%
Therefore, the final concentration of the suspension is approximately 24.65%.
To find the final concentration of the suspension, we need to know the amount of active ingredient in the extract and the total volume of the suspension.
In this case, we are given that four tablespoons of extract are mixed with 240 ml of oral suspension base. However, we need to know the concentration of the extract in order to calculate the final concentration of the suspension.
If we assume that each tablespoon of extract contains a certain amount of active ingredient, we can use that information to find the concentration.
For example, let's say that each tablespoon of extract contains 10 mg of active ingredient. Then, the total amount of active ingredient added to the suspension would be 4 tablespoons * 10 mg/tablespoon = 40 mg.
To calculate the final concentration, we divide the total amount of active ingredient by the total volume of the suspension:
Final concentration = Total amount of active ingredient / Total volume of suspension
In this case, the total volume of the suspension is given as 240 ml.
So, the final concentration would be:
Final concentration = 40 mg / 240 ml
To simplify the calculation, we need to ensure that the units are consistent. Since 1 ml is equal to 1 gram, we can convert the volume to grams by dividing it by 1000:
Final concentration = 40 mg / (240 ml / 1000)
Final concentration = 40 mg / 0.24 g
Finally, we can calculate the final concentration:
Final concentration = 166.7 mg/g
Therefore, the final concentration of the suspension is 166.7 mg per gram.
