As an alternative to ear tags and lip tattoos, tetracycline (an antibiotic) is used to mark polar bears. The advantages of using

tetracycline in this fashion are that it leaves a detectable deposit on the bears’ teeth, it can be administered remotely, and using it doesn’t require that the animal be sedated. If 25 mg/kg is an effective dose, how much tetracycline is needed (in grams) to mark a 880 kg polar bear? Round your answer to two significant figures.

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of tetracycline needed for 880 kg of polar bear is 22. grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Effective dose of tetracycline needed = 25 mg/kg = 0.025 g/kg    (Conversion factor:  1 g = 1000 mg)

Mass of the polar bear = 880 kg

Applying unitary method:

For 1 kg of mass, the amount of tetracycline needed is 0.025 grams

So, for 880 kg of mass, the amount of tetracycline needed will be = \frac{0.025g}{1kg}\times 880kg=22.g

Hence, the amount of tetracycline needed for 880 kg of polar bear is 22. grams

Answer:

6. O₂ + Cu —> CuO

7. H₂ + Fe₂O₃ —> H₂O + Fe

8. O₂ + H₂ — > H₂O

9. H₂S + NaOH —> Na₂S + H₂O

10. Al + HCl —> H₂ + AlCl₃

Explanation:

6. Oxygen gas react with solid copper metal to form copper(II) oxide

Oxygen gas => O₂

Copper => Cu

copper(II) oxide => CuO

The equation is:

O₂ + Cu —> CuO

7. hydrogen gas and iron(III) oxide powder react to form liquid water and solid iron power

hydrogen gas => H₂

Iron(III) oxide => Fe₂O₃

Water => H₂O

Iron => Fe

The equation is:

H₂ + Fe₂O₃ —> H₂O + Fe

8. Oxygen gas react with hydrogen gas to form liquid water

Oxygen gas => O₂

hydrogen gas => H₂

Water => H₂O

The equation is:

O₂ + H₂ — > H₂O

9. Hydrogen sulphide gas is bubbled through a sodium hydroxide solution to produce sodium sulphide and liquid water

hydrogen sulphide => H₂S

sodium hydroxide => NaOH

Sodium sulphide => Na₂S

Water => H₂O

The equation is:

H₂S + NaOH —> Na₂S + H₂O

10. Hydrogen gas and aluminum chloride solutions are produced when solid aluminum react with hydrochloric acid

Aluminum => Al

Hydrochloric acid => HCl

hydrogen gas => H₂

Aluminum chloride => AlCl₃

The equation is:

Al + HCl —> H₂ + AlCl₃
