Explanation:

Question 9

Step1: Recall the formula for volume

The formula to find the volume \( V \) when we know the concentration \( C \) (in mg/mL) and the mass \( m \) (in mg) is \( V=\frac{m}{C} \). Here, \( m = 15\space mg \) and \( C=2.5\space mg/mL \).

Step2: Substitute the values

Substitute \( m = 15 \) and \( C = 2.5 \) into the formula: \( V=\frac{15}{2.5} \).

Step3: Calculate the value

\( \frac{15}{2.5}=6 \). So the volume required is 6 mL.

The amount of pure hydrogen peroxide in 8 fl oz of \( \frac{1}{4} \) strength solution is \( 8\times\frac{1}{4}=2 \) fl oz of pure hydrogen peroxide. Now we check each option:

• Option 1: 1.0 fl oz of hydrogen peroxide. This is less than 2 fl oz, so incorrect.
• Option 2: 2 fl oz of hydrogen peroxide. This matches the amount of pure hydrogen peroxide we calculated, so this is correct.
• Option 3: 4 fl oz of \( \frac{1}{3} \) strength. The amount of pure hydrogen peroxide is \( 4\times\frac{1}{3}=\frac{4}{3}\approx1.33 \) fl oz, which is not equal to 2 fl oz.
• Option 4: 6 fl oz of \( \frac{1}{2} \) strength. The amount of pure hydrogen peroxide is \( 6\times\frac{1}{2} = 3 \) fl oz, which is not equal to 2 fl oz.

Step1: Recall the formula for volume

The formula to find the volume \( V \) when we know the concentration \( C \) (in mg/mL) and the mass \( m \) (in mg) is \( V=\frac{m}{C} \). Here, \( m = 25\space mg \) and \( C = 10\space mg/mL \).

Step2: Substitute the values

Substitute \( m = 25 \) and \( C=10 \) into the formula: \( V=\frac{25}{10} \).

Step3: Calculate the value

\( \frac{25}{10}=2.5 \)? Wait, no, wait the options are 1.25 mL and 1.5 mL? Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait the vial is 50 mg reconstituted with 5 mL to yield 10 mg/mL. So concentration \( C = 10\space mg/mL \). The mass needed is 25 mg. So \( V=\frac{25}{10}=2.5 \)? But the options are 1.25 and 1.5? Wait, maybe the question was misread. Wait, the vial is 50 mg, reconstituted with 5 mL to yield 10 mg/mL. Wait, 50 mg in 5 mL is 10 mg/mL (since \( \frac{50}{5}=10 \)). Now, if the patient needs 25 mg, then \( V=\frac{25}{10}=2.5 \). But the options given are 1.25 mL and 1.5 mL. Wait, maybe the question was about 12.5 mg? Wait, no, the user's question: "A vial of protamine sulfate 50 mg is reconstituted with 5 mL of sterile water to yield 10 mg/mL. How many mL of the medication should be given if the patient is prescribed 25 mg of the medication?" Wait, maybe there is a typo, but according to the formula, \( V=\frac{25}{10} = 2.5 \). But since the options are 1.25 and 1.5, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, 50 mg in 5 mL is 10 mg/mL. So 1 mL has 10 mg. So for 25 mg, we need \( \frac{25}{10}=2.5 \) mL. But since the options are 1.25 and 1.5, maybe the question was 12.5 mg? If it was 12.5 mg, then \( \frac{12.5}{10}=1.25 \) mL. Maybe a typo in the question. But assuming the question is correct as given, but the options are wrong? Or maybe I misread. Wait, the user's options: 1.25 mL and 1.5 mL. Wait, maybe the concentration is 20 mg/mL? Wait, 50 mg in 5 mL is 10 mg/mL. So no. Wait, maybe the question is "prescribed 12.5 mg"? Then \( \frac{12.5}{10}=1.25 \) mL. So maybe a typo. But according to the formula, if it's 25 mg, it's 2.5 mL. But since the options are 1.25 and 1.5, maybe the intended mass was 12.5 mg. So if we take 12.5 mg, then \( V=\frac{12.5}{10}=1.25 \) mL. So maybe the question had a typo, and the answer is 1.25 mL.

Answer:

6 mL
