(a) 43.6 mg; (b) 520 mg

(a) Mass of phosphoric acid (PA) in a dose

Mass of PA = 2 tsp × (21.8 mg PA/1 tsp) = 43.6 mg PA

(b) Mass of PA in the bottle

Step 1. Convert ounces to millilitres

Volume = 4 oz × (30 mL/1 oz) = 120 mL

Step 2. Calculate the mass of PA

Mass of PA = 120 mL × (21.8 mg PA/5 mL) ≈ 520 mg PA
