A drug for injection is supplied as a vial has a concentration of 5% w/v. 10 mL of this vial is injected into an infusion bag to make a final volume of 500 mL. What is the concentration of the drug in the infusion bag?
answer is 10mg/ml
steps
You need to know that 5 % means 5/100.. this means 5 g in 100 ml..
5G =5000MG
so here mg/ml is 5000mg/500ml =10mg/ml is the concentration of drug in infusion bag
