Given that an IV is mixed so that each 150. mL of the solution contains 500. mg of the drug lidocaine and the rate of infusion is set at 300. mL/hr. How many hours will it take for 7.50 x 102 mg of lidocaine to be administered?
500 mg in =150mL
1mg in= 150/500 mL= 0.3 mL
7.50*10^2 mg in= 0.3*7.52*10^2= 225.6mL
Now, 300 mL in = 1hr
1 mL in = 1/300 hr
225.6 mL= 225.6/300 hr=0.752 hr
