<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.

Which body of water will have a greater influence on an area?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The correct option is A

Explanation:

Water from a river is used for many activities in a community. These activities could include (but not limited to) tourism, drinking for animals, local transport, irrigation for nearby farming, recreation (as in swimming), habitat for some living organisms among others. Rivers are not limited by what limits the influence of oceans such as taste (it's saltiness, which cannot be used in farming also) and wave current.

A solution is made by mixing equal masses of methanol, CH 4 O , and ethanol, C 2 H 6 O . Determine the mole fraction of each com
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Mole fraction of CH_4O = 0.58

Mole fraction of C_2H_6O = 0.42

Explanation:

Let the mass of CH_4O and C_2H_6O = x g

Molar mass of CH_4O = 33.035 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles_{CH_4O}= \frac{x\ g}{33.035\ g/mol}

Moles_{CH_4O}=\frac{x}{33.035}\ mol

Molar mass of C_2H_6O = 46.07 g/mol

Thus,

Moles= \frac{x\ g}{46.07\ g/mol}

Moles_{C_2H_6O}=\frac{x}{46.07}\ mol

So, according to definition of mole fraction:

Mole\ fraction\ of\ CH_4O=\frac {n_{CH_4O}}{n_{CH_4O}+n_{C_2H_6O}}

Mole\ fraction\ of\ CH_4O=\frac{\frac{x}{33.035}}{\frac{x}{33.035}+\frac{x}{46.07}}=0.58

Mole fraction of C_2H_6O = 1 - 0.58 = 0.42

TEA [102]

Answer:

Primer postulado:

Así Bohr asumió que el átomo de hidrógeno puede existir solo en ciertos estados discretos, los cuales son denominados estados estacionarios del átomo. En el átomo no hay emisión de radiación electromagnética mientras el electrón no cambia de órbita.
