Answer:
20 mg/ml.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a liquid oral concentrate of morphine sulfate contains 2.4 g of morphine sulfate in a 120-mL bottle.
[tex]\text{Concentration of morphine sulfate on g/mL basis}=\frac{\text{2.4 g}}{\text{120 ml}}[/tex]
To convert the concentration of morphine sulfate on a mg/mL basis, we need to convert 2.4 grams to milligrams.
1 gram equals 1000 milligrams.
[tex]\text{Concentration of morphine sulfate on mg/mL basis}=\frac{\text{2.4 g}}{\text{120 ml}}\times\frac{\text{1,000 mg}}{\text{1 g}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Concentration of morphine sulfate on mg/mL basis}=\frac{2.4\times\text{1,000 mg}}{\text{120 ml}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Concentration of morphine sulfate on mg/mL basis}=\frac{2400\text{ mg}}{\text{120 ml}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Concentration of morphine sulfate on mg/mL basis}=\frac{20\text{ mg}}{\text{ml}}[/tex]
Therefore, the concentration of morphine sulfate would be 20 mg per ml.
