<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

19 mg

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

dose = 5.0 mg/kg  

weight of infant = 8.5 pounds

Convert 8.5 pounds to kg: 8.5 pounds = 3.86 kg

Therefore;

The dose to give the infant is:  

= (5.0 mg/kg) x (3.86 kg)

= 19.3 mg  

<u>≈ 19 mg</u>

Answer:

19.2737 milligrams of aspirin that should be administered.

Explanation:

Mass of an infant = 8.5 pounds = 8.5 × 0.4535 kg=3.8547 kg

Aspirin dosage per 1 kilogram = 5 mg

If an infant weights 3.8547 kg, the dosage required will be;

3.8547 × 5 mg=19.2737 mg[/tex]

19.2737 milligrams of aspirin that should be administered.

densk [106]
Answer #1 is "there is 2.5 grams of solute in every 100 g of solution." 
We calculate for 2.5% by mass solution by dividing the mass of the solute by the mass of the solution and then multiply by 100.
Answer #2 is "that mass ratio would be 2.5/100 or 2.5 grams of solute/100 grams of solution." 
We weigh out 2.5 grams of solute and then add 97.5 grams of solvent to make a total of 100 gram solution, that is,
     mass of solute / mass of solution = 2.5g solute / (2.5g solute + 97.5g solvent)
                                                          = 2.5g solute / 100g solution
Answer#3 is "a solution mass of 1 kg is 10 times greater than 100 g, thus one kilogram (1 kg) of a 2.5% ki solution would contain 25 grams of ki."
We multiply 10 to each mass so that 100 grams becomes 1000grams since 1000 grams is equal to 1 kg:
     mass of solute / mass of solution = 2.5g*10/[(2.5g*10) + (97.5g*10)]
                                                          = 25g solute/(25g solute + 975g solvent)
                                                          = 25g solute/1000g solution
                                                          = 25g solute/1kg solution

If 42.8 mL of 0.204 M HCl solution is needed to neutralize a solution of Ca(OH)2, how many grams of Ca(OH)2 must be in the solut
Aneli [31]

Hey There!

At neutralisation moles of H⁺ from HCl  = moles of OH⁻ from Ca(OH)2  so :

0.204 * 42.8 / 1000  => 0.0087312 moles

Moles of Ca(OH)2 :

2 HCl + Ca(OH)2 = CaCl2 + 2 H2O

0.0087312 / 2 => 0.0043656 moles (  since each Ca(OH)2 ives 2 OH⁻ ions )

Therefore:

Molar mass Ca(OH)2 = 74.1 g/mol

mass = moles of Ca(OH)2 * molar mass

mass =  0.0043656 * 74.1

mass = 0.32 g of Ca(OH)2


Hope that helps!

Draw the molecule by placing atoms on the grid and connecting them with bonds. Include all lone pairs of electrons. Show the for
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In this case, let's see both molecules per separate:

In the case of SeO₂ the central atom would be the Se. The Se has oxidation states of 2+, and 4+. In this molecule it's working with the 4+, while oxygen is working with the 2- state. Now, how do we know that Se is working with that state?, simply, let's do an equation for it. We know that this molecule has a formal charge of 0, so:

Se = x

O = -2

x + (-2)*2 = 0

x - 4 = 0

x = +4.

Therefore, Selenium is working with +4 state, the only way to bond this molecule is with a covalent bond, and in the case of the oxygen will be with double bond. See picture below.

In the case of CO₂ happens something similar. Carbon is working with +4 state, so in order to stabilize the charges, it has to be bonded with double bonds with both oxygens. The picture below shows.
