Aspirin has a density factor in cocoa butter of 1.3. if a suppository is to contain 0.3 g of aspirin, it will replace 0.3 g ÷ 1.3 or 0.23 g of cocoa butter. show the computation
Accepted Answer
The computation is correct. The density factor of 1.3 indicates that 1 gram of aspirin occupies the same volume as 1.3 grams of cocoa butter. Therefore, if a suppository contains 0.3 grams of aspirin, it displaces 0.3 g / 1.3 = 0.23 g of cocoa butter.
