Question 15 (5 points)
The maximum allowed daily dosage of Imitrex is 0.2 g. If tablets contain 25 mg, how
many tablets are able to be ingested in a day? Provide numerical values in standard
notation (not scientific notatio) not including units.

Respuesta :

This problem is providing us with the maximum mass of Imitrex a patient can get daily as 0.2 g. Also, the mass of a tablet is given as 25 mg so the number of tablets they get in a day is required. After the calculations, the result turns out to be 10 tablets.

Dimensional analysis:

In chemistry, dimensional analysis is used to calculate specific outcomes given useful information to do so. Despite not having specific formulas for every problem, one can come up with a feasible proportional-factor-based setup, in order to obtain the required.

In this case, since the mass per tablet is 25 mg, one can divide the maximum dosage by this mass per tablet, both in grams, to obtain the required number of tablets for a daily dosage:

[tex]25\frac{mg}{tablet}*\frac{1g}{1000mg}=0.025\frac{g}{tablet} \\\\\#tablets=\frac{0.25g}{0.025\frac{g}{tablet}} \\\\\#tablets=10 tablets[/tex]
