An intravenous infusion is to contain 15 mEq of potassium ion and 20 mEq of sodium ion in 500 mL of 5% dextrose injection. Using

potassium chloride injection containing 6 g/30 mL and 0.9% sodium chloride injection, how many milliliters of each should be used to supply the required ions?

Answer:

To supply the required ions it is necessary to inject 5,6mL of 6g/30mL solution and 131,1 mL of 0,9% solution.

Explanation:

1mEq of sodium are 59mg of NaCl and 1mEq of potassium are 75mg KCl

in intravenous infusion 15 mEq of K are:

15x75mg KCl = 1,125g of KCl

And 20 mEq of Na are:

20x59mg NaCl = 1,18g of NaCl

To supply the potassium ion it is necessary to inject:

1,125g of KCl×\frac{30mL}{6g} =<em> 5,6mL  of 6g/30mL solution</em>

And, to supply the sodium ion it is necessary to inject:

1,18g of NaCl×\frac{100mL}{0,9g} = <em>131,1 mL of 0,9% solution</em>

I hope it helps!

What is a neutralisation reaction? Give two examples.
ozzi

Explanation:

A neutralization is a type of double replacement reaction. a salt is the product of an acid-base reaction and is a much broader term then common table salt.

Example:-

(i) HCl + NaOH ---> NaCl + HOH

(ii) H2SO4 + 2NH4OH ---> (NH4)2SO4 + 2HOH.

How is it that when a salt sample dissolves in water, the delta S for the process is positive?
Bess [88]

Answer:-

Water is highly ordered. In water each oxygen atom is connected to others around it through hydrogen bonding via bridging hydrogen atoms. When a salt like NaCl is dissolved, some of these Hydrogen bonds break.

When a salt like NaCl dissolves in water, the NaCl breaks in to ions Na+ and Cl-.

The water molecules now surround these ions.

The slightly negative oxygen end of water molecule gets near the Na+, while the slightly positive Hydrogen of water molecule gets near the Cl-.

So before salt sample dissolve, the water molecules were highly ordered due to hydrogen bonding. Now after salt dissolve there is a decrease in order and thus an increase in disorder of the water molecules.

Due to increase in disorder, entropy which is a measure of disorder increases. Since entropy increases, delta S for the process is positive.

Write the balanced chemical equation for the following: The destruction of a marble statuary by acid rain: aqueous nitric acid r
Mashcka [7]

Answer: The coefficient in front of nitric acid is 2

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas. Liquids are represented by (l) and gases are represented by (g).

The balanced chemical reaction is :

CaCO_3(s)+2HNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)+CO_2(g)+H_2O(l)

If two objects have the same density, they must have the same
Radda [10]

Answer:

no ,its not necessary tht two objects have same volume have the same mass because the density of the material they are made up of can be different. mass and volume areindependent, two objects with thesame volume can have differentmasses. Therefore, the objects can have different densities.
