Find the volume in mL to administer 23 mg of valium given a 10 mL bottle containing 100 mg of solution.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The required dose of valium is 23mg23 \mathrm{mg}.
2. The bottle contains 10mL10 \mathrm{mL} of solution.
3. The concentration of the solution is 100mg100 \mathrm{mg} per 10mL10 \mathrm{mL}.

STEP 2

First, we need to determine the concentration of valium in mg\mathrm{mg} per mL\mathrm{mL}.
Concentration=TotalamountofdrugVolumeofsolutionConcentration = \frac{Total\, amount\, of\, drug}{Volume\, of\, solution}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the total amount of drug and the volume of solution to calculate the concentration.
Concentration=100mg10mLConcentration = \frac{100 \mathrm{mg}}{10 \mathrm{mL}}

STEP 4

Calculate the concentration in mg\mathrm{mg} per mL\mathrm{mL}.
Concentration=100mg10mL=10mg/mLConcentration = \frac{100 \mathrm{mg}}{10 \mathrm{mL}} = 10 \mathrm{mg/mL}

STEP 5

Now that we know the concentration, we can find out how many mL\mathrm{mL} are needed to provide the required 23mg23 \mathrm{mg} dose of valium.
Volumetoadminister=RequireddoseConcentrationVolume\, to\, administer = \frac{Required\, dose}{Concentration}

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the required dose and the concentration to calculate the volume to administer.
Volumetoadminister=23mg10mg/mLVolume\, to\, administer = \frac{23 \mathrm{mg}}{10 \mathrm{mg/mL}}

STEP 7

Calculate the volume to administer in mL\mathrm{mL}.
Volumetoadminister=23mg10mg/mL=2.3mLVolume\, to\, administer = \frac{23 \mathrm{mg}}{10 \mathrm{mg/mL}} = 2.3 \mathrm{mL}
You would give 2.3mL2.3 \mathrm{mL} of the solution to administer a dose of 23mg23 \mathrm{mg} of valium.
