Answer:
We will need 8 tablets for a one day treatment.
Explanation:
Mass of tetracycline ordered to be given = 1.0 g
Mass of tetracycline tablet = 500 mg = 0.5 g
Let the number of tablets be x
x = 2
1 day = 24 hours
2 tablets after every six hours
24 hours = 4 times in a day

Answer: 20 gallons of 16% and 8 gallons of 23% solution is usedfor 28 gallons of the 18 % solution.
Explanation:
According to the dilution law,
where,
= concentration of ist disinfectant solution = 16 %
= volume of pure acid solution = x gallons
= concentration of another disinfectant solution= 23%
= volume of another acid solution= (28-x) gallons
= concentration of resulting disinfectant solution = 18 %
= volume of resulting acid solution = 28 gallons
(28-x) = (28-20) = 8 gallons
Thus 20 gallons of 16% and 8 gallons of 23% solution is usedfor 28 gallons of the 18 % solution.
