The average dosage of oxcarbazepine for an epileptic child between the ages of 4 and 16 is 9.00 mgmg per 1 kgkg of body weight (

9.00 mg/kgmg/kg). Calculate how many milliliters of oxcarbazepine a child who weighs 42.9 pounds should be prescribed considering the medication is served as a suspension of 60.0 mg/mLmg/mL. Keep in mind that 1 pound is equivalent to 0.453 kilograms.​

Answer:

The answer to your question is 3 ml

Explanation:

Data

Dosage = 9.0 mg/ kg

Child's weight = 42.9 pounds

Suspension = 60 mg/ml

milliliters = ?

Process

1.- Convert the weight to kg

                         1 pound ------------------- 0.453 kg

                     42.9 pounds ---------------  x

                           x = (42.9 x 0.453) / 1

                           x = 19.43 kg

2.- Calculate the milligrams the child needs

                         1 kg of weight ------------ 9 mg

                       19.43 kg ----------------------  x

                            x = (19.43 x 9) / 1

                            x = 174.87 mg of oxcarbazepine

3.- Calculate the milliliters needed

                          60 mg of suspension ------------- 1 milliliters

                        174.87 mg                     --------------  x

                                 x = (174.87 x 1) / 60

                                 x = 2.9 ml ≈ 3 ml

List the following bond types in order of increasing strength: non-polar covalent bonds, ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, polar cova
ss7ja [257]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • An ionic bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between two chemically combining atoms.

In an ionic bond, there occurs attraction between oppositely charged ions due to which there occurs strong forces of attraction between them. Therefore, ionic bonds are the strongest bonds.

  • A polar covalent bond is formed due to unequal sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

For example, H_{2}O is a polar covalent compound. Partial opposite charges tend to develop on the atoms of a polar covalent compound.

  • A non-polar covalent bond is formed due to equal sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

For example, Cl_{2} is a non-polar covalent molecule. No partial charges will be there on the atoms of a non-polar covalent molecule.

  • A hydrogen bond is defined as the bond formed between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom.

For example, in HCl compound there occurs hydrogen bonding.

In this type of bond, dipole-dipole attractive interactions tend to take place. And, strength of hydrogen bonds is very weak.

Thus, we can conclude that given bond types are arranged in order of increasing strength as follows.

      Hydrogen bonds < non-polar covalent bonds < polar covalent bonds < ionic bonds

The partial pressure of N2 in the air is 593 mm Hg at 1 atm. What is the partial pressure of N2 in a bubble of air a scuba diver
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: Partial pressure of N_{2} at a depth of 132 ft below sea level is 2964 mm Hg.

Explanation:

It is known that 1 atm = 760 mm Hg.

Also,   P_{N_{2}} = x_{N_{2}}P

where,    P_{N_{2}} = partial pressure of N_{2}

                 P = atmospheric pressure

            x_{N_{2}} = mole fraction of N_{2}

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

      P_{N_{2}} = x_{N_{2}}P

    593 mm Hg = x_{N_{2}} \times 760 mm Hg

       x_{N_{2}} = 0.780

Now, at a depth of 132 ft below the surface of the water where pressure is 5.0 atm. So, partial pressure of N_{2} is as follows.

         P_{N_{2}} = x_{N_{2}}P

                  = 0.78 \times 5 atm \times \frac{760 mm Hg}{1 atm}

                  = 2964 mm Hg

Therefore, we can conclude that partial pressure of N_{2} at a depth of 132 ft below sea level is 2964 mm Hg.

What is the basis for the classification of changes in matter into physical and chemical changes quizlet
laiz [17]

Explanation:

The basis for classifying changes in matter into physical and chemical change is to see if a material is altered after going through a process.

In a physical change only the state of matter is usually altered especially its form or shape.

Chemical change alters a substance by producing new kinds that are totally different from it.

  • In  a chemical change, new kinds of matter are usually formed.
  • Such changes are usually irreversible.
  • Change of state is a reversible process.
