1)The average lethal dose of Valium is 1.52 mg/kg of body weight. Estimate how many grams of Valium would be lethal for a 200.-l

b woman. Show all your calculations. (1lb = 453.6 g)
2) A patient in hospital is receiving the antibiotic amoxcillin IV at the rate of 50. mL/h. The IV contains 1.5 g of the antibiotic in 1000. mL. (IV stands for intravenous). Calculate the mg/min of the drip. Show all your calculations

Answer:

1. 0.138g of valium would be lethel in the woman

2. 125mg/min is the drip of the patient

Explanation:

1. In a body, an amount of Valium > 1.52mg / kg of body weight would be lethal.

A person that weighs 200lb requires:

200<u>lb</u> × (453.6<u>g</u> / <u>1lb</u>) × (1kg / 1000<u>g</u>) = <em>90.72kg (Weight of the woman in kg)</em>

90.72kg × (1.52mg / kg) =

137.9mg ≡

<h3>0.138g of valium would be lethel in the woman</h3>

2. The IV contains 1.5g = 1500mg/mL.

If the patient is receiving 5.0mL/h, its rate in mg/h is:

5.0<u>mL</u>/h × (1500mg/<u>mL</u>) = 7500mg/h

Now as 1h = 60min:

7500mg/<u>h</u> × (1<u>h</u> / 60min) =

<h3>125mg/min is the drip of the patient</h3>

What is the hybridization of the central atom, electron geometry, and molecular geometry of H3CCCH?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Hybridization: sp

Electron geometry: linear

Molecular geometry: linear

Explanation:

H₃CCCH can also be written as its Lewis structure which is shown in the figure attached. The figure shows that the central carbon atom makes a single bond with CH₃ and a triple bond with CH. This means that the hybridization of the carbon is sp and both the electron and molecular geometry are linear with an 180° bond angle.

What makes an element more metallic than another?
Valentin [98]
Group names in the periodic table give clues about the metallic properties of the elements.
Metallic elements are found on the left side of the periodic table. A simple conception of metals describes them as a lattice of positive ions immersed in a sea of electrons.
