<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.

A field worker is exposed to a xylene for a duration of 8 weeks at 40 hrs/wk. The concentration of xylene in the workplace is 40
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The chronic daily intake during the period of exposure is most nearly 0.012 mg/kg day.

Explanation:

Number of hours worker exposed to xylene = 40 hr/week\times 8 week = 320 hours

The concentration of xylene in the workplace =40 \mu g/m^3

The worker is inhaling air at a rate of 0.9 m^3/hr.

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in an hour :

= 40\mu g/m^3\times 0.9 m^3/hr=36 \mu g/hr

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 320 hours:

36 \mu g/hr\times 320 hr=11,520 \mu g=11,520\times 0.001 mg=11.520 mg

1 μg = 0.001 mg

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 320 hours = 11.520 mg

1 day = 24 hours

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 1 day:

\frac{24}{320}\times 11.520 mg=0.864 mg

Assuming 70 kg body mass, the chronic daily intake of xylene :

\frac{0.864 mg/day}{70 kg}=0.01234 mg/ kg day\approx 0.012 mg/ kg day

The chronic daily intake during the period of exposure is most nearly 0.012 mg/kg day.

What is the pH of a solution with a<br> POH of 8.35?
Paha777 [63]

Answer: The pH of the solution is 5.65

Explanation:

The relationship between the pH and the pOH is that pH+pOH=14.

Given this, we can plug in the pOH and subtract that from 14.

14-pOH=pH\\14-8.35=5.65

I hope this helped! Pls give brainliest!! :)
