Suppose that you take 200 mg of an antibiotic every 8 hr. The​ half-life of the drug is 8 hr​ (the time it takes for half of the

drug to be eliminated from your​ blood). Use infinite series to find the​ long-term (steady-state) amount of antibiotic in your blood exactly.

Answer:

600 mg

Explanation:

The initial amount of the drug = 200 mg

The half-life of the drug = 8 hrs

It means that:-

After 6 hours, the concentration becomes :- \frac{200}{2} mg

After 12 hours, the concentration becomes :- \frac{200}{4} mg

After 18 hours, the concentration becomes :- \frac{200}{8} mg

And so on...

Thus,

After infinite time = 200+\frac{200}{2}+\frac{200}{4}+\frac{200}{8}+..

Thus,

After infinite time = 200\times (1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}+..)

The sum of the infinite series is:- 1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}+.. = \frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{2}}=2

So,

<u>After infinite time = 200\times 2 mg = 600 mg</u>

What happens during all chemical changes?
3241004551 [841]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A change which brings change in composition of atoms of a substance to result in the formation of new substances is known as a chemical change.

Therefore, in a chemical change new substances are formed which have different properties as compared to their reactants.

For example, 2Na + Cl_{2} \rightarrow 2NaCl

Thus, we can conclude that during all chemical changes atoms rearrange to form new substances.

How many grams of carbon dioxide gas are in a 1.0-l balloon at stp?
stepan [7]
Used the Ideal gas law to get the grams of carbon dioxide

PV=nRT  Where p is pressure, v is volume, n is a number of moles, t is temperature and r is the ideal gas constant. The value of R is 0.0821.

Solution
First, find the mole of carbon dioxide

n= PV/RT
  = 1 x 1.0 / 0.081 x (2.73 x 102)
  = 1 / 0.081 x 278.46
  = 1 / 22.56
  = 0.045 mol

Convert the moles into grams
Grams of CO2 = 0.045 mol x 44 g/mol = 1.98 g

So the grams of CO2 is 1.98g

How does the acid level in a lake affect how many fish live there?
nikklg [1K]

If the level of acid in a lake increased, then the number of fish that live there will be decreased because highly acidic lakes will not have enough food for the fish to survive. Acidic level increases , then availability of food for fish decreases as some food will be contaminated so if the fish won't got enough food for their survival then their number of fish decreases.
