Ratio Strength (RS) Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Ratio Strength (RS) is:

\[ RS = \frac{W}{V} \]

Where:

\( RS \) is the Ratio Strength (g/mL)
\( W \) is the total weight (g)
\( V \) is the total volume (mL)

What is Ratio Strength?

Ratio Strength (RS) is a measure used in pharmacology and chemistry to describe the concentration of a solution. It is defined as the amount of solute (weight in grams) per unit volume of solution (in milliliters). To calculate the Ratio Strength, you divide the weight by the volume.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Weight (W): 10 grams
Total Volume (V): 50 mL

Step 1: Calculate the Ratio Strength (RS):

\[ RS = \frac{10}{50} = 0.2 \text{ g/mL} \]

Therefore, the Ratio Strength is 0.2 g/mL.
