What is used to calculate the new concentration in a solution?

  1. Q1 x C1 = Q2 x C2

  2. Wt of substance (g/L) / MW (g/mole) * (#particles) * 1000

  3. (58.5)(i) / (MW of drug)(1.8)

  4. g/MW

The correct answer is: Q1 x C1 = Q2 x C2

To calculate the new concentration in a solution, we use the formula Q1 x C1 = Q2 x C2, where Q represents the quantity of solution and C represents the concentration of the solution. This formula takes into account the dilution of the solution and is the most accurate method to calculate the new concentration. Option B is incorrect because it only applies to solid substances and does not take into account the change in volume of the solution. Option C is also incorrect because it is specific to a certain type of drug and does not apply to all solutions. Option D is incorrect because it only calculates the mass of a substance and does not take into account the volume of the solution.
