2200 mg of antibiotic

Explanation:

Given that 40 mg of antibiotic/kg of the bodyweight is given.

If patient is 55 kg then  the dose of antibiotic will be

if 40/1000000 is done then we can get antibiotic in kg/kg of the weight

= 0.00004 kg of antibiotic per kg

0.00004*55 ( to know how much 55 kg person will require)

= 0.0022 kg

This 0.0022 value will be converted to mg

0.0022*10^6

= 2200 mg of antibiotic will be given to a 55kg patient.

1) An endothermic reaction is a reaction where heat is "absorbed" and the surrounding area is cooled. An example of an endothermic reaction is the classic baking soda and vinegar reaction. The mixture gets cold.
An exothermic reaction is one which gives off heat, such as burning, which is itself a chemical reaction.

In the equation below
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

6.25 moles of N₂ is produced, and 18.8 moles of Cu and H₂O is produced.

Explanation:

We are given the chemical equation:

\displaystyle 2\text{NH$_3$}_\text{(g)} + 3\text{CuO}_\text{(s)} \longrightarrow \text{N$_2$}_\text{(g)}  + 3\text{Cu}_\text{(s)}+3\text{H$_2$O}_\text{(g)}

And we want to determine the amount of products produced when 12.5 moles of NH₃ is reacted with excess CuO.

Compute using stoichiometry. From the equation, we can see the following stoichiometric ratios:

  • The ratio between NH₃ and N₂ is 2:1. (i.e. One mole of N₂ is produced from every two moles of NH₃.)
  • The ratio between NH₃ and Cu is 2:3.
  • The ratio between NH₃ and H₂O is 2:3. (i.e. Three moles of H₂O or Cu is produced frome every two moles of NH₃.)

Dimensional Analysis:

  • The amount of N₂ produced:

\displaystyle 12.5\text{ mol NH$_3$} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol N$_2$}}{2\text{ mol NH$_3$}} = 6.25\text{ mol N$_2$}

  • The amount of Cu produced:

\displaystyle 12.5\text{ mol NH$_3$} \cdot \frac{3\text{ mol Cu}}{2\text{ mol NH$_3$}} = 18.8\text{ mol Cu}

  • And the amount of H₂O produced:

\displaystyle 12.5\text{ mol NH$_3$} \cdot \frac{3\text{ mol H$_2$O}}{2\text{ mol NH$_3$}} = 18.8\text{ mol H$_2$O}

In conclusion, 6.25 moles of N₂ is produced, and 18.8 moles of Cu and H₂O is produced.

A metal sample has a mass of 64.2 g. What is the density of this metal?
brilliants [131]

density= mass/volume

we need the volume of the metal to find the density,  in which case the answer would be 64.2/volume=density

Can someone please answer this?
Amanda [17]

Answer:-

0.229 L

Explanation:-

Molar mass of AgBr = 107.87 x 1 + 79.9 x 1

=187.77 grams mol-1

Mass of AgBr = 150 grams

Number of moles of AgBr = 150 grams / 187.77 gram mol-1

= 0.8 mol

The balanced chemical equation is

NaBr (aq) + AgNO3 (aq)--> AgBr(s) + NaNO3(aq)

From the equation we can see that

1 mol of AgBr is produced from 1 mol of AgNO3.

∴ 0.8 mol of AgBr is produced from 1 x 0.8 / 1 = 0.8 mol of AgNO3.

Strength of AgNO3 = 3.5 M

Volume of AgNO3 required = Number of moles / strength

= 0.8 moles / 3.5

=0.229 L
