100 mL of a 72% solution has been prepared. How many grams of medication are in a 72% strength solution? How many milliliters of solution are in a 72% strength? Express this solution as a ratio. How much drug is needed to create 65.5 mL? How much pure drug is needed to create 80 mL? If you have 175 mL of solution, how many grams of pure drug will you have to order to maintain the 72% strength?

Step 1
- A 72% solution means that 72% of the solution's weight is the active medication. - Therefore, in 100 mL of solution, the amount of medication is 72% of the total weight. - Assuming the density of the solution is similar to water (approximately 1 g/mL), Show more…
