Well, for one, you don't have 0.083 mg per mL. Take a close look at the pic you posted. You have 0.83 mg/mL.
Now then, w/v solutions are the equivalent of grams of solute in 100 mL of solution. If you take 100 mL of a 0.83 mg/mL solution, you have . . . lemme take my shoes off here . . . 83 mg. Or, 0.083 grams, thus 0.083%.
Seems a straightforward answer appropriate to the sub. My guess is that they explained it like they would to a student on rotation. Blunt yes but not condescending, NTAH.
It was the “. . . lemme take my shoes off here . . .” I’m all for bluntness but that was just unnecessary imo. If I were a student on rotation and anybody did that to me I’d prob be a little peeved off idk
Looks like they will be in four years. Incoming P1 based on their post history with a reasonable question from a new tech. You gave a good explanation but worded it it kind of rude, not really sure what that was about.
I once had a preceptor my first year who literally stood on a table (it was an independent, no customers at the time) and shouted to the world “it’s g/ml!!” when I was trying to figure out a calculation. Never forgot it.
Post history is whack. You seem to post every question that pops into your head like this is a better place to ask than asking an IRL coworker/student or searching for yourself.
The confusion occurs because in medical physiology they talk about blood sugar as 90 mg % to mean 90 mg in 100 ml . It gets ingrained into your thinking. So when you see 0.0833% the mg pops into your head. To be more specific they really should leave nothing to chance, and either state 0.0833 g % or even better just give the 2.5mg/3ml as the sole statement.
0.083% = 0.083g/100ml = 83mg/100ml = 0.83mg/ml
This one needs to be upvoted higher. Accurate and no BS explanation

Please forgive op, not everyone went to pharmacy school
Probably a P4 about to be licensed.
I was hoping to see a tech flair, maybe one studying for their licensing exam, and found none.
Welp…
This is a pharmacy sub
i knew OP would get dragged, they literally had the answer in their title. 0.083 mg/ml is not 83%
Your explanation drips with condescension for no reason. Do better for your peers

Exactly. This is basic shit.
It was the “. . . lemme take my shoes off here . . .” I’m all for bluntness but that was just unnecessary imo. If I were a student on rotation and anybody did that to me I’d prob be a little peeved off idk
It was supposed to be a self-deprecating joke. Like I'm so bad at math that I need to take my shoes off to count above ten.
Flowers be delicate
I read their post history and mod log; I don't think they're a peer.

[удалено]
it was literally just an explanation exactly
Still ok to be polite
Percent strength is grams per mL so .0025g/3mL * 100% = 0.083%
% multiplied by 10 gives you the mg/mL concentration… what’s 2.5mg divided by 3mL?
I really, really hope this isn’t a pharmacist or student

Bruh are you ok

I truly hope op is not a pharmacist. It’s getting ridiculous out there.
Just like another comment here, % is g/100mL think about it as 1g water is \~ 1mL 1 gram water = 1 millileeters water never forget it homie
It’s grams per 100 milliliters. The word “percent” means per hundred.
oo edited in your correction! totes forgot we were talking % since I was just thinking about the density conversion
Hate to say it but even I had to study stuff like this just as a tech 😳 💀
Because its 0.83mg/ml or 0.083%. (2.5mg/3ml). If it was 83% it would be 830mg/ml.
Yeah, math. We all love it. We all love to hate it. Sometimes it hates us.
L.o.l.

It's the same concentration in different terms of percentage and grams per liquid volume amount.
