2 answers:
Answer: 0.408 grams is to given for 180 lb patient.
Explanation:
Given : A intramuscular medication is given at 5.00 mg/kg of body weight.
That is for a body with weight of 1 kg , we have to give 5.00 mg of medication
Converting the mass in kg to pounds
1 kg = 2.20462 lb
Thus for a body with weight of 2.20462 lb , we have to give= 5.00 mg of medication
For body weight of 180 lb , we have to give = of medication
Also 1 mg = 0.001 grams
Thus
Thus for a body with weight of 2.20462 lb , we have to give 0.408 grams of medication.

Answer:
Here's what I get.
Explanation:
At the end of the reaction you will have a solution of the alcohol in THF.
The microdistillation procedure will vary, depending on the specific apparatus you are using, but here is a typical procedure.
- Transfer the solution to a conical vial.
- Add a boiling stone.
- Attach a Hickman head (shown below) and condenser.
- Place the assembly in in the appropriate hole of an aluminium block on top of a hotplate stirrer.
- Begin stirring and heating at a low level so the THF (bp 63 °C) can distill slowly.
- Use a Pasteur pipet to withdraw the THF as needed.
- When all the THF has been removed, raise the temperature of the Al block and distill the alcohol (bp 143 °C).
