Review these relationships. When you are familiar with them, fill in the blanks. Solutions. A. 1 mg = 0.001 g (10−3g) = 0.000001 kg (10−6 kg) = 1000 μg (103…

2. One advantage of performing a calculation involving units is that they may be multiplied and divided in much the same way as numbers or algebraic symbols. If the same…

You assign the units to the parts depending on whether you are dealing with w/w, w/v, or v/v preparations. 2. The very same default rules based on weighing of solids…

This expression states that the rate is proportional to the drug concentration (C) raised to some power, P. The value of P identifies the order of the equation. Its origin…
