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.

What is the molarity of a NaCl solution containing 9.0<br> moles of NaCl in 3.0 L of solution?
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

3 M

Explanation:

Molarity equation: M = n/v

n = moles of solute

v = liters of solution

9 moles of NaCl / 3 L

9/3 = 3 M

Equation is balanced already
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

1.) 13 g C₄H₁₀

2.) 41 g CO₂

Explanation:

To find the mass of propane (C₄H₁₀) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), you need to (1) convert mass O₂ to moles O₂ (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles O₂ to moles C₄H₁₀/CO₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients), and then (3) convert moles C₄H₁₀/CO₂ to mass C₄H₁₀/CO₂ (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the ratios in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answers should have 2 sig figs to match the sig figs of the given value.

Molar Mass (C₄H₁₀): 4(12.011 g/mol) + 10(1.008 g/mol)

Molar Mass (C₄H₁₀): 58.124 g/mol

Molar Mass (CO₂): 12.011 g/mol + 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (CO₂): 44.007 g/mol

Molar Mass (O₂): 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (O₂): 31.996 g/mol

2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ ----> 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O

 48 g O₂             1 mole             2 moles C₄H₁₀            58.124 g
---------------  x  -----------------  x  -------------------------- x  ------------------  =

3) In the Hydrolysis of Disaccharides and Polysaccharides portion of the lab, starch should give one positive iodine test and on
AfilCa [17]

Answer: potassium iodide is the basic test for starch,and the positive test is blue-black coloration, any other test substance which is not starch will give a negative results.

Explanation:

Starch is an example of  polysaccharide  and since the standard test for it is potassium iodide solution, it gives a positive test.

Diasaccharides e.g maltose are reducing sugars.their standard test is BENEDICT test .

Therefore, in the hydrolysis;  starch should give a positve test, while Diasaccharides should give negative rest.
