Explanation:

Reaction:

Cu + 2AgC₂H₃O₂ → Cu(C₂H₃O₂)₂ + 2Ag

The problem is to split the reaction into oxidation and reduction halves:

The oxidation half is the sub-reaction that undergoes oxidation

The reduction half is the one that undergoes reduction:

The ionic equation:

Cu + 2Ag⁺ + 2C₂H₃O₂⁻ → Cu²⁺ + 2C₂H₃O₂⁻ + 2Ag

Oxidation half:

Cu → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻

Reduction half:

2Ag⁺ + 2e⁻ → 2Ag

C₂H₃O₂⁻ is neither oxidized nor reduced in the reaction.

The concentration of protein in a urine sample is calculated to be 2.77 μg/mL. What is the concentration of this solution in uni

maxonik [38]

Answer:

The concentration of this solution in units of pounds per gallon is $2.776*10^{-5} \frac{lb}{gal}$

Explanation:

Units of measurement are established models for measuring different quantities. The conversion of units is the transformation of a quantity, expressed in a certain unit of measure, into an equivalent one, which may or may not be of the same system of units.

In this case, the conversion of units is carried out knowing that 1 μg are equal to 2.205*10⁻⁹ Lb and 1 mL equals 0.00022 Gallons. So

$2.77 \frac{ug}{mL} = \frac{2.77 ug}{mL}$

If 1 μg equals 2.205*10⁻⁹ lb, 2.77 μg how many lb equals?

$lb=\frac{2.77ug*2.205*10^{-9}lb }{1ug}$

lb=6.10785*10⁻⁹

So, 2.77 μg= 6.10785*10⁻⁹ lb

Then:

$2.77 \frac{ug}{mL} = \frac{2.77 ug}{mL}=\frac{6.10785*10^{-9}lb }{mL} =\frac{6.10785*10^{-9}lb }{0.00022 gal} =\frac{6.10785*10^{-9}lb }{0.00022 gal}$
