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

For the reaction CO2(g) + H2(g)CO(g) + H20(g)
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The ΔG° is 29 kJ and the reaction is favored towards reactant.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the ΔH°rxn or enthalpy change is 41.2 kJ, the ΔS°rxn or change in entropy is 42.1 J/K or 42.1 * 10⁻³ kJ/K. The temperature given is 289 K. Now the Gibbs Free energy change can be calculated by using the formula,  

ΔG° = ΔH°rxn - TΔS°rxn

= 41.2 kJ - 289 K × 42.1 × 10⁻³ kJ/K

= 41.2 kJ - 12.2 kJ

= 29 kJ

As ΔG° of the reaction is positive, therefore, the reaction is favored towards reactant.

How many moles of aluminum oxide will be produced from 0.50 mol of oxygen? 4 al + 3 o2 2 al2o3?
LuckyWell [14K]
From the equation;
 4 Al + 3 O2 = 2 Al2O3
The mole ratio of Oxygen is to Aluminium hydroxide is  3:2.
Therefore; moles of Al2O3 is 
 (0.5/3 )× 2 = 0.333 moles
Therefore; The moles of aluminium oxide will be 0.333 moles

PAP Physical Studies<br><br> How can you remember the periodic table?
siniylev [52]
Break down the table into smaller sections. Memories period by period or if you like by group (like halogens or noble gases).
Just say the elements in order everyday 1-10 then when you get those 11-20 and continued.
