Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is "85.71 mg".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass of drug,

= 3.0 mg

Mass percentage,

= 3.5%

As we know,

⇒  [tex]Mass \ percent = \frac{Mass \ of \ drug}{Mass \ of \ solution}\times 100[/tex]

Or,

⇒  [tex]Mass \ of \ solution = \frac{Mass \ of \ drug}{Mass \ percent}\times 100[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

⇒                               [tex]=\frac{3.0}{3.5}\times 100[/tex]

⇒                               [tex]=0.8571\times 100[/tex]

⇒                               [tex]=85.71 \ mg[/tex]
