Question

After her latest dialysis treatment, Michelle experienced vertigo and nausea. Michelle's doctor orders $0.075g$of chlorpromazine, which is used to treat nausea. If the stock solution is $2.5\%(m/v)$, how many milliliters are administered?

Short answer

So $3mL$of chlorpromazine stock solution is required.

Step-by-step solution

Introduction.

Hemodialysis is a therapy for persons with failing kidneys. Your kidneys do not filter blood to circulate when you have organ failure.

Given Data.

Using the following expression, calculate the mass by volume fraction.

$Masspercent(m/v)=\frac{solutemass}{solutionvolume}\times 100\%$

Given,

Michelle's doctor prescribed $0.075g$of chlorpromazine to address her nausea.

The stock solution's mass/volume percent is $2.5\%(m/v)$.

Explanation.

So,

$Solutionvolume=\frac{solutemass}{masspercent(m/v)}\times 100\%$

$=\frac{0.075g}{2.5\%}\times 100\%$

$=3mL$

As a result, $3mL$of chlorpromazine standard solutions is required.
