The number of Ml of a 0.40 %w/v solution of ,nalorphine that must be injected to obtain a dose of 1.5 mg is calculated as below
since M/v% is mass of solute in grams per 100 ml
convert Mg to g
1 g = 1000 mg what about 1.5 mg =? grams
= 1.5 /1000 = 0.0015 grams
volume is therefore = 100 ( mass/ M/v%)
= 100 x( 0.0015/ 0.4) = 0.375 ML
