0.408 gram for 180-lb patient

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 = $\frac{5.00}{2.20462}\times 180=408.23mg$ of medication

Also 1 mg = 0.001 grams

Thus $408.23mg=\frac{0.001}{1}\times 408.23=0.408grams$

Thus for a body with weight of 2.20462 lb , we have to give 0.408 grams of medication.

Calculate the molecular weight of a dibasic acid.0.56gm of which is required 250ml of N/20 sodium hydroxide solution for neutral

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The molecular weight of the dibasic acid is 89.6 g/mol

Explanation:

Normality is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of gram equivalents present per liter of solution. The units of normality are eq/L. The formula used to calculate normality:

$\text{Normality}=\frac{\text{Given mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Equivalent mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (mL)}}$ ....(1)

We are given:

Normality of solution = $\frac{1}{20}=0.05N$

Given mass of solute = 0.56 g

Volume of solution = 250 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.05=\frac{0.56\times 1000}{\text{Equivalent mass of solute}\times 250}\\\\\text{Equivalent mass of solute}=\frac{0.56\times 1000}{0.05\times 250}=44.8g/eq$

Equivalent weight of an acid is calculated by using the equation:

$\text{Equivalent weight}=\frac{\text{Molar mass}}{\text{Basicity}}$ .....(2)

Equivalent weight of acid = 44.8 g/eq

Basicity of an acid = 2 eq/mol

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$44.8g/eq=\frac{\text{Molar mass}}{2eq/mol}\\\\\text{Molar mass}=(44.8g/eq\times 2eq/mol)=89.6g/mol$

Hence, the molecular weight of the dibasic acid is 89.6 g/mol

How does the strength of a metallic bond compared to other types of bonds?

Bess [88]

While metallic bonds have the strong electrostatic force of attractions between the cation or atoms and the delocalized electrons in the geometrical arrangement of the two metals. ... Metallic bonds are malleable and ductile, while covalent bonds and ionic bonds non-malleable and non-ductile.
