What is the total volume in mL required for a 500 mg dose of Ferrous Sulfate if 220 mg are available in every 5 mL?

To determine the total volume required for a 500 mg dose of Ferrous Sulfate, given that there are 220 mg available in every 5 mL, you first need to establish how much volume corresponds to 1 mg. This will help you scale up to the required dose of 500 mg.

Starting with the information provided:

• 220 mg is available in 5 mL.

To find out how much volume corresponds to 1 mg, you can set up the following calculation:

1. Calculate the volume per mg:

[

\text{Volume per mg} = \frac{5 \text{ mL}}{220 \text{ mg}} = \frac{5}{220} \text{ mL/mg} = \frac{1}{44} \text{ mL/mg} \approx 0.0227 \text{ mL/mg}

]

2. Now, to find the volume needed for 500 mg:

[

\text{Volume for 500 mg} = 500 \text{ mg} \times 0.0227 \text{ mL/mg} \approx 11.35 \text{ m
