Trying to figure out how to convert nanograms to milligrams. There was an example given to me but I do not quite understand it. Could you please explain this example: Convert 6.7 nanograms to milligrams. (6.7 ng) x (10^-9g/1ng) (1mg/10^-3g) = 6.7x10^-6mg I tried to type it out as clearly as possible...

The concentration of PSA (prostate-specific antigen) in the blood is sometimes used as a screening test for possible prostate cancer in men. The value is normally reported as the number of nanograms of PSA per milliliter of blood. A PSA concentration of 1.7 ng/mL1.7 ng/mL is considered low. Express that value in terms of the units shown. PSA= g/L PSA= kg/m3 PSA= mg/L
Perform the following calculations and report the answer to the appropriate number of significant figures: An alcohol solution was prepared by adding enough water to 35. 0 mL of the alcohol to make a total volume of 80.0 mL of the mixture. What is the % alcohol by volume? A 50.0 mL portion of 70.0% (by volume) alcohol solution was mixed with 50.0 mL of water. What is the new % alcohol by volume? How many mL of a 70.0% (by volume) alcohol solution do you need to mix with enough water to prepare 50.0 mL of a 1.2% alcohol solution?
A student weighed a wet 10-mL graduated cylinder. The cylinder contained at least 0.5 mL of water when weighed. Next, the student added sodium chloride solution to the cylinder until the bottom of the meniscus read 5.0 mL. How will the 0.5 mL of water affect the calculated density of the sodium chloride solution? Justify your answer with an explanation.
A student pipetted 10 mL of a sample solution into a 250 mL volumetric flask and diluted it to the mark with distilled water. The student then, pipetted 10 mL of this new solution into a 50.00 mL volumetric flask and diluted it to the mark with water. What is the dilution factor of the final solution? 25X 100X 125X 5X 50X
A pharmacist had 3 grams of hydromorphone hydrochloride. He used the following: 1⁄8gram, followed by ¼ gram, and then 1 ½ grams. Expressed as a decimal fraction, how many grams of hydromorphone hydrochloride were left?
Potassium cyanide is a toxic substance, and the median lethal dose depends on the mass of the person or animal that ingests it. The median lethal dose of KCNKCN for a person weighing 145 lblb (65.8 kgkg ) is 7.27×10−3 molmol . What volume of a 0.0820 MM KCN KCN solution contains 7.27×10−3 molmol of KCNKCN? Express the volume to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A solution of DNA has a concentration of 10 nanograms/ml. The experiment calls for 8.2 microliters to be used. How many nanograms of DNA are used? (There are 1000 microliters in 1 milliliter. You do not need to convert nanograms to grams).
You have a patient who weighs 95 pounds. The dosage of a drug is 1.5 mg drug per kg of body mass. The drug comes as a solution that is 5.0 mg of drug per mL of solution. How many cc (cm3) of the solution must be given to the patient? Note that 2.205 pounds of bodyweight is one kg of body mass.

Nurses are often required to calculate dosages. That is, they must check the order that a doctor has given for the administration of a drug and decide whether the dosage is correct. To calculate correctly they must convert between different metric units. For example, 1,000 milligrams (mg) = 1 gram (g); and 1,000 micrograms (mcg) = 1 mg. - Suppose a doctor has ordered a dose of 0.1 gram of a medication. The drug comes in a solution concentration of 300 mg per milliliter. How many milliliters of this solution is required?
In an alternate reality, the following salinity vs. density information was collected and summarized below. Based on this data, calculate the salinity of a solution that has a density of 1.017 g/mL. Enter your answer with at least 3 significant figures. Salinity (g/mL) Density (g/mL) 0.00 0.983 20.00 0.998 50.00 1.020 100.00 1.057 150.00 1.095
Chlorine is used to disinfect swimming pools. The accepted concentration for this purpose is 1 ppm chlorine or 1 g of chlorine per million g of water. By making use of DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS ONLY, calculate the volume of a chlorine solution (in milliliters) a homeowner should add to her swimming pool ifthe solution contains 6.0 percent chlorine by mass and there are 2 x 104 gallons of water in the pool. The density of the chlorine solution is 1.087 g/mL, (assume that the density of water = 1.0 g/mL).
