Your patient gets a prescription for 51.5 mcg (micrograms, μg) of digoxin in liquid form. The label reads 0.0250 mg/mL. How many

milliliters of digoxin should you give?

Taking into account the definition of density, the volume of digoxin should be 2.06 mL.

<h3>Definition of density</h3>

Density is defined as the property that matter, whether solid, liquid or gas, has to compress into a given space and allows us to measure the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance.

So, the expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

density= mass÷ volume

You can observe that density is inversely proportional to volume: the smaller the volume occupied by a given mass, the higher the density.

<h3>Volume of digoxin</h3>

In this case, you know that:

Density= 0.0250 mg/mL
Mass= 51.5 micrograms= 0.0515 mg (being 1 micrograms= 0.001 mg)

Replacing in the definition of density:

0.0250 mg/mL= 0.0515 mg÷ volume

Solving:

0.0525 mg= 0.0250 mg/mL ×volume

volume= 0.0515 mg÷ 0.0250 mg/mL

<u><em>volume= 2.06 mL</em></u>

In summary, the volume of digoxin should be 2.06 mL.

6 At STP, which element is a good conductor of electricity?(1) chlorine (3) silver

alexgriva [62]

For an object to conduct electricity it should have free or delocalised electrons that are free to pass the charge and hence take part in conducting electricity.
From the given choices
Chlorine is a halogen existing as a diatomic gas. Iodine too is a halogen and 2 Iodine atoms held together by covalent bond. Cl - Cl bonds and I-I bonds are covalent bonds. the outer electrons of Cl and I take part in covalent bonds therefore they are fixed and not free to move about. therefore no free electrons to conduct electricity.
Sulfur is a solid that too is held together by covalent bonds so it does not have free electrons to conduct electricity.

Silver is a metal and a general property of metals are their ability to conduct electricity.
metal structure are metal ions tightly packed together. when the metal atoms are tightly packed their valence electrons are removed and delocalised. Positively charged metal ions are embedded in a sea of delocalised electrons.
therefore there are delocalised electrons that can conduct electricity

answer is 3) silver

Calculate either [ H 3 O + ] or [ OH − ] for each of the solutions.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer: Solution A : $[H_3O^+]=0.300\times 10^{-7}M$

Solution B : $[OH^-]=0.107\times 10^{-5}M$

Solution C : $[OH^-]=0.177\times 10^{-10}M$

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration and pOH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration.

$pH=-\log[H_3O^+]$

$pOH=-log[OH^-}$

$pH+pOH=14$

$[H_3O^+][OH^-]=10^{-14}$

a. Solution A: $[OH^-]=3.33\times 10^{-7}M$

$[H_3O^+]=\frac{10^{-14}}{3.33\times 10^{-7}}=0.300\times 10^{-7}M$

b. Solution B : $[H_3O^+]=9.33\times 10^{-9}M$

$[OH^-]=\frac{10^{-14}}{9.33\times 10^{-9}}=0.107\times 10^{-5}M$

c. Solution C : $[H_3O^+]=5.65\times 10^{-4}M$

$[OH^-]=\frac{10^{-14}}{5.65\times 10^{-4}}=0.177\times 10^{-10}M$

Which of the following pairs lists a substance that can neutralize H2SO4 and the salt that would be produced from the reaction?

Bogdan [553]

The second option only.

LiOH, Li₂SO₄.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

A base neutralizes an acid when the two reacts to produce water and a salt.

Sulfuric acid H₂SO₄ is the acid here. There are more than one classes of bases that can neutralize H₂SO₄. Among the options, there are:

Metal hydroxides

Ca(OH)₂ and
LiOH.

Metal hydroxides react with sulfuric acid to produce water and the sulfate salt of the metal.

$\text{Ca}(\text{OH})_{\bf 2}+\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \to \textbf{Ca}\textbf{SO}_{\bf 4} +{\bf 2}\;\text{H}_2\text{O}$ .

The formula for calcium sulfate $\text{CaSO}_4$ in option A is spelled incorrectly. Why? The charge on each calcium $\text{Ca}^{2+}$ is +2. The charge on each sulfate ion ${\text{SO}_4}^{2-}$ is -2. Unlike $\text{Li}^{+}$ ions, it takes only one $\text{Ca}^{2+}$ ion to balance the charge on each ${\text{SO}_4}^{2-}$ ion. As a result, $\text{Ca}^{2+}$ and ${\text{SO}_4}^{2-}$ ions in calcium sulfate exist on a 1:1 ratio.

$2\;\text{LiOH} +\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \to \text{Li}_2\text{SO}_4 + 2\;\text{H}_2\text{O}$ .

Ammonia, NH₃

Ammonia NH₃ can also act as a base and neutralize acids. NH₃ exists as NH₄OH in water:

$\text{NH}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \to \textbf{NH}_{\bf 4}\text{OH}$ .

The ion ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ acts like a metal cation. Similarly to the metal hydroxides, NH₃ (or NH₄OH) neutralizes H₂SO₄ to produce water and a salt:

$2\;\textbf{NH}_{\bf 4}\text{OH}+ \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \to (\textbf{NH}_{\bf 4})_2\text{SO}_4+2\;\text{H}_2\text{O}$ .

The formula of the salt (NH₄)₂SO₄ in the fourth option spelled the ammonium ion incorrectly.

As part of the salt (NH₄)₂SO₄, the ammonium ion NH₄⁺ is one of the products of this reaction and can't neutralize H₂SO₄ any further.

In the following reaction, how many liters of o2 will produce 43.62 liters of co2 at stp? c3h8 5 o2 3 co2 4 h2o

antoniya [11.8K]

The balanced chemical reaction:

C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O

We are given the amount of the carbon dioxide to be produced. This will be the starting point of our calculations.

<span>43.62 L CO2 ( 1 mol CO2 / 22.4 L CO2 ) (5 mol O2 / 3 mol CO2 ) ( 22.4 L O2 / 1 mol O2) = 72.7 L O2</span>
