Answer:
226.8 mg of mupirocin powder are required
Explanation:
Given that;
weight of standard pack = 22 g
mupirocin by weight = 2%
so weight of mupirocin = 2% × 22 = 2/100 × 22 = 0.44 g
so by adding the needed quantity of mupirocin powder to prepare a 3% w/w mupirocin ointment
mg of mupirocin powder are required = ?, lets rep this with x
Total weight of ointment = 22 + x g
Amount of mupirocin = 0.44 + x g
percentage of mupirocin in ointment is 3?
so
3/100 = 0.44 + x g / 22 + x g
3( 22 + x g ) = 100( 0.44 + x g )
66 + 3x g = 44 + 100x g
66 - 44 = 100x g - 3x g
97 x g = 22
x g = 22 / 97
x g = 0.2268 g
we know that; 1 gram = 1000 Milligram
so 0.2268 g = x mg
x mg = 0.2268 × 1000
x mg = 226.8 mg
Therefore, 226.8 mg of mupirocin powder are required
At first, atoms were considered to be very simple and indivisible. People form ancient times knew only of water, earth, fire, and air, not what constitutes them or how they work specifically. Now, there are 118 elements and all atoms are proven to consist of neutrons, protons, and electrons, and that's just the beginning of it.
