I have no scale but am trying to divide a research chemical in powder form into appropriate doses for my plants
Can I use dimensional analysis and proportions on the molecular weight and volume of known substances to find the weight/volume my research chemical?
Example.
One teaspoon of sugar = 4.2 grams
Molecular of sugar = 342.30 g/mol
One teaspoon of mephedrone = X (unknown for now)
Molecular weight of mephedrone = 177.24
After setting up a proportion, we are left with this forumla:
4.2 multiplied by 177.24 = 342.30x
using algebra, I'm getting 2.175grams of mephedrone would be in one teaspoon.
My smallest teaspoon is 1/8th teaspoon
2.175 multiplied by (1/8 )= 272mg
So my smallest teaspoon would be about 272mg of mephedrone.
IS this correct?
I don't get a chance to apply math very often and wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong.
