Answer: 2.5 mL
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A patient is given a solution containing 0.625 g of calcium carbonate.
i.e. Patient required calcium carbonate = 625 mg [∵ 1 g = 1000 mg]
Let x be the amount of solution ( in millimeters) given to the patients.
Ratio of amount of calcium carbonate (mg) to amount of solution (ml) =
If the calcium carbonate solution contains 1250 mg per 5 mL,
Then, Ratio of amount of calcium carbonate to amount of solution =
By using proportion we have :-
Hence, 2.5 mL solution were given to the patient.
