Exam Questions and Answers 100% Pass
Embalming Fluid Dilution Calculation - ✔✔C x V = C' x V'
C - ✔✔Concentration of formaldehyde in the bottle
(Index: strength of an embalming fluid, indicated by the number of grams of pure
formaldehyde gas dissolved in 100 mL of water. Index usually refers to a percentage; an
embalming fluid with an index of 25 usually contains 25% formaldehyde gas)
V - ✔✔Amount of liquid in the bottle (ounces)
C' - ✔✔Concentration of strength of arterial solution (percent)
V' - ✔✔Amount of total solution in the tank (ounces)
Reminders - ✔✔1 gallon = 128 ounces
