10 ML (megaliters) is 2.64 million gallons. However, 10 mL (milliliters) is about 2 teaspoons. Case is important in metric units and prefixes.

I was having some trouble with this problem in a quiz i had to take. It was the only question i got wrong.
I was suppose to calculate the total mg of hydrocodone in a desired dose. the dose ordered was hydrocodone/Ace. Elixir. 2 tsp PO now. The dose on hand was hydrocodone 7.5 mg/Ace 500 mg/15 mL. I dont want the answer really, maybe just what i would do to find the answer on my own. Thank you

We're not pharmacists and don't understand all the "jargon" of the business. However, I think you are saying 15 mL of the mixture contains 7.5 mg of hydrocodone and 500 mg of ACE (whatever ACE is).

Probably what you need to know is that 1 tsp is approx 5 mL, and therefore 2 tsp is about 10 mL. I don't know whether you can use the rounded number or whether you need a seven significant figure conversion value from NIST SP 811. (Probably 10 mL is good enough). Note that 15 mL is about a Tablespoon (equal to 3 teaspoons)

So divide by 15 mL and multiply by 10 mL

Is that Sodium or Sodium Chloride listed from Morton?

It is just the sodium part of sodium chloride that they give. - You can't eat plain sodium metal.

how many teaspoons or T/s would 10mg/kg be? This is for taking DCA.

This is the Wikipedia article about it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dichloroacetic_acid

The 10mg/kg relates to your weight, or the wieght of your patient. You weigh the patient in kg, and give them 10mg for every kg they weigh.

As the substance has serious side effects, and none of us are doctors, (and you are here asking about the conversion, so know even less than we do), none of us should be overseeing the administration of this drug, you need to get this done by a medical professional.
