Answer:

The Flow rate = 0.0208 mL/min

Explanation:

Data provided:

Rate of dose = 39 mg every 30 min = (39/30) mg/min  = 1.3 mg/min

also,

125mg of methylprednisolone is present in every 2 mL

thus,

concentration = (125/2) mg/mL = 62.5 mg/mL

Now,

The flow rate is given as:

Flow rate = Rate / Concentration

on substituting the respective values, we get

Flow rate = (1.3 mg/min) / (62.5mg/mL)

or

The Flow rate = 0.0208 mL/min

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Given] 1.51 × 10²⁶ atoms Xe

[Solve] moles Xe

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                     \displaystyle 1.51 \cdot 10^{26} \ atoms \ Xe(\frac{1 \ mol \ Xe}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ Xe})
  2. [DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]:                                                         \displaystyle 250.747 \ mol \ Xe

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rule and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

250.747 mol Xe ≈ 251 mol Xe
