You have 10,000 units per ml in a vial of 4 ml, multiplying 10,000 by 4 give you a total of 40,000 units of heparin in 4 ml. Now divide 40,000 total units by 5,000 per dose: Total doses= 8
It normally depends on the concentration of Heparin p/ volume but the general rule is : 100 units = 1mL Therefore, 5000 / 100 = 50 mL's That sounds like a lot of Heparin to give someone, double check the volume of Heparin p/ mL before you administer a dose to yourself or anyone else!
There are no units of concentration. Concentration is written as density, which requires a mass measurement, and a volume measurement. The standard units for this is grams per liter.
Heparin is not a low molecular weight heparin I'm thinking that the 5000 you are referring to is 5000 units because 5000 units administered subcutaneously two or three times daily as a pretty standard dose for preventing blood clots with heparin Pharmacy student
100 units
since 100 IU unit of heparin is equivalent to 1mg, 50mg must be equal to 5000 IU units of heparin.
10,000
Since Concentration = moles / volume,one finds volume = moles / concentration, in values(with units in brackets)[ 0.0480(mol) / 1.20(mol.L-1) ] * 1000(cm3.L-1) = 40 cm3.
Concentration is often defined by the number of moles per liter of a dissolved substance in a liquid. Variations include: ng/ml, ug/ml, mg/l, g/l. It really doesn't matter what the units are, as long as there are units for mass and volume.
In science, concentration is the number of moles of solute divided by the total volume of the solution (not just the volume of the solvent). Concentration units can also include the percentage solute to the total mass of the solution; the parts per million, ppm of the solute compared to the total parts present.

Volume = 10*4*3 = 120 cubic units
