Since the problem asks how much guaifenesin is in 10 mL, you multiply the concentration (20 mg\/mL) by the volume (10 mL). This gives you 200 mg of guaifenesin in 10 mL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a basic example of unit conversion, where you use the given concentration to calculate the amount of a substance in a different volume. It\u2019s important to always keep track of units (mg and mL) and understand the relationship between the given values to solve dosage-related problems correctly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robitussin DM contains 100 mg of guaifenesin per 1 teaspoon.
