Determine the strength of arterial solution when 7 ounces of fluid and 1 full gallon of water are used with an index of 25. What is the strength?

To determine the strength of the arterial solution, you need to calculate the total volume of the solution and the concentration of the embalming fluid, given its index.

First, convert the gallon of water to ounces, as there are 128 ounces in a gallon. Therefore, 1 gallon of water is equal to 128 ounces. Adding this to the 7 ounces of arterial fluid gives a total volume of 135 ounces (7 ounces + 128 ounces).

Next, use the formula for dilution to find the strength of the arterial solution:

The strength of an arterial solution can be calculated using the formula:

Strength (%) = (Volume of fluid x Index) / Total volume x 100

Here:

• Volume of arterial fluid = 7 ounces

• Index = 25

• Total volume = 135 ounces

Plug the values into the formula:

Strength (%) = (7 ounces x 25) / 135 ounces x 100

When you do the math:

1. Multiply the volume of the fluid by the index:

7 x 25 = 175

2. Now divide by the total volume:

175 / 135 = 1.2963

3. Finally, multiply by
