Questions 1 and 2: You must prepare 400mL of a solution that requires a 1:8 concentration of drug. Sterile water is the diluent you should use How much drug do you need for this medication? How much diluent do you need?

Answer :

Answer:

The amount of drug required = 44.44 mL

Diluent needed = 355.56 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Total volume of solution = 400 mL

Concentration of drug = 1 : 8

Now,

The ratio is interpreted as 1 part of drug and 8 part of diluent

Thus,

The amount of drug required = [tex]\frac{1}{1+8}\times\textup{Total volume of solution}[/tex]

or

The amount of drug required = [tex]\frac{1}{1+8}\times\textup{400 mL}[/tex]

or

The amount of drug required = 44.44 mL

and,

Diluent needed = [tex]\frac{8}{1+8}\times\textup{400 mL}[/tex]

or

Diluent needed = 355.56 mL
