Oksi-84 [34.3K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Evaporated via combustion.

Explanation:

The loss on ignition (LOI) and Ash content are inorganic analytical techniques used to determine the percentage by mass of hydrocarbon in compounds. This process allows volatile matter and possibly impurities found in a material to evaporate, leaving behind the true chemical constituents of the material.

The 10kg lost could be moisture content of the tree, or other volatile matter which has escaped on combustion of the tree.

The average dosage of oxcarbazepine for an epileptic child between the ages of 4 and 16 is 9.00 mgmg per 1 kgkg of body weight (
Helga [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 3 ml

Explanation:

Data

Dosage = 9.0 mg/ kg

Child's weight = 42.9 pounds

Suspension = 60 mg/ml

milliliters = ?

Process

1.- Convert the weight to kg

                         1 pound ------------------- 0.453 kg

                     42.9 pounds ---------------  x

                           x = (42.9 x 0.453) / 1

                           x = 19.43 kg

2.- Calculate the milligrams the child needs

                         1 kg of weight ------------ 9 mg

                       19.43 kg ----------------------  x

                            x = (19.43 x 9) / 1

                            x = 174.87 mg of oxcarbazepine

3.- Calculate the milliliters needed

                          60 mg of suspension ------------- 1 milliliters

                        174.87 mg                     --------------  x

                                 x = (174.87 x 1) / 60

                                 x = 2.9 ml ≈ 3 ml

How much silver can be produced from 125g of Ag2S
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

108.9g of Silver can be produced from 125g of Ag2S

Explanation:

The compound Ag2S shows that two atoms of Silver Ag, combined with an atom of Sulphur S to form Ag2S. We can as well say the combination ration of Silver to Sulphur is 2:1

•Now we need to calculate the molecular weight of this compound by summing up the molar masses of each element in the compound.

•Molar mass of Silver Ag= 107.9g/mol

•Molar mass of Sulphur S= 32g/mol

•Molecular weight of Ag2S= (2×107.9g/mol) + 32g/mol

•Molecular weight of Ag2S= 215.8g/mol + 32g/mol= 247.8g/mol

•From our calculations, we know that 215.8g/mol of Ag is present in 247.8g/mol of Ag2S

If 247.8g Ag2S produced 215.8g Ag

125g Ag2S will produce xg Ag

cross multiplying we have

xg= 215.8g × 125g / 247.8g

xg= 26975g/247.8

xg= 108.85g

Therefore, 108.9g of Silver can be produced from 125g of Ag2S
