Question

A patient was prescribed 20.0 mg of lithium every 12 hours to treat their medical condition. If the lithium comes in the form of lithium carbonate, which is 17.3 % lithium by mass, what mass in grams of lithium carbonate must the patient consume per day? (hint: write the percentage as "parts per hundred" before starting problem.)

The patient was prescribed 20.0 mg of lithium every 12 hours to treat their medical condition. If the lithium comes in the form of lithium carbonate, which contains 17.3% lithium by mass, what mass in grams of lithium carbonate must the patient consume per day? (Hint: write the percentage as parts per hundred before starting the problem.)
