Answer:

4 tabletes/dose

Explanation:

mass person = (90 Lb)×(Kg/2.20462 Lb) = 40.823 Kg body

amount of medicine = 50 mg/Kg body.day

frecuency = 2 dose/day

⇒ amount of medicine/day =  (50 mg/kg body.day)×(40.823 Kg body) = 2041.168 mg/day

⇒ mg medicine/dose = (20141.168 mg/day)×(day/ 2 dose) = 1020.584 mg medicine/dose

∴ mg medicine/tablet = 250 mg medicine/tablet

⇒ # tabletes/dose = (1020.584 mg medicine/dose)×(tablet/250 mg medicine) = 4.082 tabletes/dose

⇒ # tabletes/dose ≅ 4 tabletes/dose

1‑propanol ( n ‑propanol) and 2‑propanol (isopropanol) form ideal solutions in all proportions. Calculate the partial pressure a
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

y_{prop} = 0.134; y_{iso} = 0.866

The partial pressure of isopropanol = 34.04 Torr; The partial pressure of propanol = 5.26 Torr

Explanation:

For each of the solutions:

mole fraction of isopropanol  (x_{iso}) = 1 - mole fraction of propanol (x_{prop}).

Given: mole fraction of propanol = 0.247. Thus, the mole fraction of isopropanol = 1 - 0.247 = 0.753.

Furthermole, the partial pressure of isopropanol = x_{iso}*vapor pressure of isopropanol = 0.753*45.2 Torr = 34.04 Torr

The partial pressure of propanol = x_{prop}*vapor pressure of propanol = 0.247*20.9 Torr = 5.16 Torr

Similarly,

In the vapor phase,

The mole fraction of propanol (y_{prop}) = \frac{P_{prop} }{P_{prop}+P_{iso}}

Where, P_{prop} is the partial pressure of propanol and P_{iso} is the partial pressure of isopropanol.

Therefore,

y_{prop} = 5.26/(34.04+5.16) = 0.134

y_{iso} = 1 - 0.134 = 0.866

g A spontaneous process is one in which: A. releases a large amount of heat B. may happen (is possible) C. will rapidly approach
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

A. releases a large amount of heat

Explanation:

A reaction is said to be spontaneous if it can proceed on its own without the addition of external energy. A spontaneous reaction is not determined by the length of time, because some spontaneous reactions are completed after a long period of time. They are exothermic in nature. An example is the conversion of graphite to carbon which takes a long period of time to complete. Spontaneous reactions are known to increase entropy in a system. Entropy is the rate of disorder in a system.

In the combustion of fire, energy is released to the surroundings as there is a decrease in energy. This is an example of a spontaneous reaction because it is an exothermic reaction, which causes an increase in entropy and a decrease in energy.
