(a)
Interpretation:
The weight/volume percent concentration that contains
Concept introduction:
Several concentration units may be used to express the concentration. It is often useful to express the concentration in terms of percentage. This can be expressed as the amount of solute in grams dissolved in
The formula to calculate the weight/volume percent is as follows:
The conversion factor to convert milligrams into grams is as follows:
(b)
Interpretation:
The amount of acetaminophen present in
Concept introduction:
Several concentration units may be used to express the concentration. It is often useful to express the concentration in terms of percentage. This can be expressed as the amount of solute in grams dissolved in
The conversion factor to fluid ounce into grams is as follows:
To convert one system of unit to another the conversion factors are written such that the unwanted units lie in the denominator and thus are cancelled out.

- A martini, weighing about 5.0 oz (142 g), contains 30.0% by mass of alcohol. About 15% of the alcohol in the martini passes directly into the bloodstream (7.0 L for an adult). Estimate the concentration of alcohol in the blood (g/cm3) of a person who drinks two martinis before dinner. (A concentration of 0.00080 g/cm3 or more is frequently considered indicative of intoxication in a normal adult.)arrow_forwardWhat mass of a 4.00% NaOH solution by mass contains 15.0 g of NaOH?arrow_forward
