You need 4.0 ounces of a steroid ointment. if there are 16 oz in 1 lb, how many grams of ointment does the pharmacist need to pr
Bond [772]

The given units are the units of masses which are interconvertable.

It is given that:

1 lb = 16 oz

Now, converting kg to lb:

Since, 1 kg = 2.20462 lb

So, \frac{0.0625 lb}{1 oz}\times \frac{1 kg}{2.20462 lb}

Now converting kg to g:

Since, 1 kg = 1000 g

So, \frac{0.0625 lb}{1 oz}\times \frac{1 kg}{2.20462 lb}\times \frac{1000 g}{1 kg} = 28.349 \frac{g}{oz}

For 4 oz:

28.349\frac{g}{oz} \times 4 oz = 113.396 g

Thus, 113.396 g of ointment needed to be prepared by the pharmacist.

Explain the neutralization of vitamin c with sodium hydrogen carbonate?
mars1129 [50]
Scientists have known the consequences of mixing sodium bicarbonate and vitamin C ever since 1936, when a study on the subject was published in the "Journal of Nutrition." The authors of this study measured the amount of vitamin C recovered from the urine of people who drank a fixed amount of orange juice. The authors determined that the amount of vitamin C excreted was decreased by administration of sodium bicarbonate. Followup studies in the 1940s showed that this effect was due to the neutralization of the vitamin C by the sodium bicarbonate.
