Typically there are about 20 drops in 1 mL of liquid.

Get a graduated cylinder marked with Milliliters. Start counting drops and fill until you get to 1mL

To the previous wrong answerer, 1 drop is NOT 1 cc, think about it.

How many drops equals 1oz?

30 drops per ml 14.7 ml per oz. So 30 x 14.7. you do the math. Sorry to disagree. There are 14.7 ml in a tablespoon, but approximately 30 in an ounce (29.57 to be a little more accurate). The number of drops in an ounce would also depend on what size dropper you have. In medicine, if using an IV set, it is calibrated in 10, 15, 20 or 60 drops per ml. If you are using an eye dropper, the number of drops would be determined by the opening size in the dropper. So, that number can vary greatly from around 150 to close to 2000.

How many drops of oil in a gallon?

Its like asking how many pigs in one ton.

How do you use the dropper?

To use the dropper, squeeze the top of the rubber bulb to create a vacuum inside the dropper. Then, place the tip of the dropper into the liquid you want to extract, release the bulb gently to draw the liquid into the dropper, and transfer it to the desired location by squeezing the bulb again. Keep the dropper clean and avoid cross-contamination.

How many milliliters does an eyedropper hold?

It depends on the eye dropper, to find out how much your specific eyedropper holds count the number of times it takes to empty a 100ml beaker using it. Divide the amount of water in the beaker by the number of times it took to empty it and you will have a rough approximation of how many mL your eye dropper will hold. A standard small bottle with dropper - one suck which fills the dropper to about 2/3 of its height should be 1 ml.


How do you give medicine to a toddler?

I found the best way to give medicine to my children when they were toddlers was to use a dropper, gently prod the child's mouth open, slide the dropper to the outside of the back teeth (on the inside of the cheek) and squeeze the medicine out. Somehow it seems to work better than trying to get them to swallow it from a cup or spoon because it doesn't suddenly hit the back of the throat.


What is one third of one teaspoon?

well, depends on how big the drops are. what you just asked is the equivelent of asking how many rocks fit in a F150 pickup truck bed. There is no standard-sized "drop". 1 medicine dropper drop might be 30 mg (with water, thicker liquid= bigger drop) but when it's from a pipette or spigot it might be 20 or 50mg. If you're using a medicine dropper I recommend you actually count out how many it takes to fill a teaspoon. Unless you're in a chem lab making explosives or in a kitchen measuring super-potent sweeteners (eg: 25% sucralose solution) +/- a few drops won't matter much.


What technique should you use to give oral medicine to a 6 month old infant?

Be sure you are using infant medicine first of all. Most infant medicines come with a medicine dropper that babies will suck on easily. You can also mix the medicine in a bottle. There are some pacifiers that allow you to add the medicine into the pacifier so the infant can suck the medicine out. Ask your doctor before giving your baby any medicine.


How do you measure half a ml without a small marked syringe?

You can use a clean household teaspoon to measure half a ml. Typically, a 1 ml syringe holds 20 drops, so you can roughly estimate half a ml by counting 10 drops from a dropper or an eye dropper. Keep in mind this method may not be entirely accurate and using a marked syringe is recommended for precise measurements.


which unit of capacity will you use to measure the liquid in a perfume bottle?
