How is concentration calculated?

Concentration is defined as the amount of a substance (strength) present in a given volume of solution. Therefore, it can be calculated using the formula where strength is divided by volume. This means that the concentration provides a measure of how much solute is present in a specific volume of solvent, allowing for the assessment of the potency or dilution of a solution. Understanding this relationship is crucial in veterinary medicine for tasks such as preparing medications, administering injections, and understanding proper dosages for animals.
