<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.

What is the mole fraction of acetic acid in a solution containing 2 moles of vinegar and 3 moles of water? A. 2 B. 3 C. 0.4 D. 0
9966 [12]

Answer:

C. 0.4.

Explanation:

<em>∵ mole fraction of acetic acid (X acetic acid) = (no. of moles acetic acid)/(total no. of moles) = (no. of moles acetic acid)/(no. of moles of acetic acid + no. of moles of water).</em>

<em></em>

- no. of moles of acetic acid = 2, no. of moles of water = 3.

- Total no. of moles = no. of moles of acetic acid + no. of moles of water = 2 + 3 = 5.

<em>∴ mole fraction of acetic acid (X acetic acid) = (no. of moles acetic acid)/(total no. of moles) =</em> (2)/(5)<em> = 0.4.</em>

4. Imagine you have a radioactive sample containing both Virtualium and decayed atoms of Virtualium. After analysis, you find it
Romashka [77]

My sample would be 4000 years old because on my graph, I had about 9 Virtualium left at trial 4 so I am guessing that it would be 4000 years old.

The diagram shows a simple lipid.
kifflom [539]
This is not a phospholipid as it does not contain a phosphate group at the end of the chain, and is not a triglyceride as there is no glyceryl moiety. Each carbon bonded to hydrogens makes the maximum number of C-H bonds possible, therefore there are no multiple bonds between carbons and the lipid is saturated. Therefore the answer is A.
Hope this helps!

Clearly, the acid is in deficiency ; i.e. it is the limiting reagent, because the equation above specifies that that 2 equiv of HCl are required for each equiv of metal.
