Question
In clinical lab reports, some concentrations are given in $\mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$. Convert a $\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ concentration of $8.6 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ to mass / volume percent.
Step 1
We know that 1 mg is equal to 0.001 g. So, we multiply the given mass of the solute by this conversion factor: \[8.6 \, \text{mg} \times 0.001 \, \text{g/mg} = 0.0086 \, \text{g}\] Show more…
