There are two types of alligation: alligation medial and alligation alternate. Alligation medial may be used to determine the strength of a common ingredient in a mixture of two or more preparations. For example, if a pharmacist mixed together known quantities of two or more solutions containing known amounts of an active ingredient, the strength of that ingredient in the resulting mixture can be determined by alligation medial. Q1. What is the percentage strength v/v of alcohol in a mixture of 3000 mL of 40% v/v alcohol, 1000 mL of 60% v/v alcohol, and 1000 mL of 70% v/v alcohol? Assume no contraction of volume after mixing. Q2. What is the percentage of zinc oxide in an ointment prepared by mixing 200 g of 10% ointment, 50 g of 20% ointment, and 100 g of 5% ointment? Q3. What is the percentage v/v of alcohol in a mixture containing 500 mL of terpin hydrate elixir (40% v/v alcohol), 400 mL of theophylline sodium glycinate elixir (21 % v/v alcohol), and sufficient simple syrup to make 1000 mL?
