I would personally convert the 12 mg to g so I could see what I was working with. So 12 mg to grams is 0.012 g...

so 1 tablet is 0.012g. the patient needs 0.024 g. 

so 0.024g/0.012g = 2 tablets or 0.012g X 2 is 0.024 g

hope this helps :)

Answer : The number of tablets given should be, 0.5

Explanation :

We are given :

Mass of sulfa drug for a patient = 0.024 g

Total mass of tablets = 12 mg = 12\times 10^{-3}g=0.012g

(Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg)

To calculate the number of tablets, we divide the total mass of tablets to the mass of sulfa drug for a patient.

n=\frac{\text{Total mass of tablets}}{\text{Mass of sulfa drug for a patient}}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

n=\frac{0.012g}{0.024g}\\\\n=0.5

Hence, the number of tablets given should be, 0.5

A) Devices that transfer kinetic energy have what for their source of power?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

A) Devices that transfer kinetic energy have a source of power that is in motion

Kinetic energy is the energy in motion, as such, a device that transfers kinetic energy transfers the energy the power source has into other energy forms

B) Kerosene does not easily cold start like diesel which can burn after compression

C) The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is conserved and it can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be changed from one form to another.

Therefore, when energy is not available in a given location or body, it cannot be obtained from that body or location

5.40 g B determine the number of atoms
sdas [7]
Atomic mass Boron ( B ) = 10.811 u.m.a

10.811 g -------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
5.40 g ----------------- ?? atoms

5.40 x ( 6.02x10²³) / 10.811 =

3.0069x10²³ atoms

Which is the term for an ion that has more protons than electrons
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The correct answer is cation. See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

An atom with a net charge, either positive or negative, is called an ion. In the event that an atom loses an electron (or more), that is, it will have more protons than electrons, and its net charge will be positive, it will be called cation. In the opposite direction, if an atom gains electrons, it will have a negative net charge, called anion.
