The availability of pencillin V is 0.80 g/mL

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 0.80 x10³ mg /mLÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â since 1 g = 10³ mg

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 800 mg/mL

So 800 mg contained in 1 mL of the solution

Â Â Â 5600 mg contained in M mL of the solution

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â M = (5600x1) / 800

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 7 mL

Therefore the required volume of penicillin solution is 7 mL
