1. In apothecaries' measures: 1 scruple = 20 grains, 1 ounce = 480 grains, 1 oz = 28.34 g What is the mass in micrograms of 5.00 scruples? Remember the known and the
unknown?!

5.89 g × 10⁶ μg

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert 5.00 scruples to grains

We will use the conversion factor 1 scruple = 20 grains.

5.00 scruple × 20 grain/1 scruple = 100 grain

Step 2: Convert 100 grains to ounces

We will use the conversion factor 1 oz = 480 grains.

100 grain × 1 oz/480 grain = 0.208 oz

Step 3: Convert 0.208 oz to grams

We will use the conversion factor 1 oz = 28.34 g.

0.208 oz × 28.34 g/1 oz = 5.89 g

Step 4: Convert 5.89 g to micrograms

We will use the conversion factor 1 g = 10⁶ μg.

5.89 g × 10⁶ μg/1 g = 5.89 g × 10⁶ μg
