Answer:

323.99 mg

Explanation:

We need to find the mass of the aspirin tablet that contains 5.0 grains of aspirin.

1 pound = 7000 grains

$1\ \text{grain}=\dfrac{1}{7000}\ \text{pounds}$

$5\ \text{grain}=\dfrac{1}{7000}\times 5\ \text{pounds}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{1400}\ \text{pounds}$

We know that, 1 pound = 453.592 grams

Also, 1 pound = 453592 mg

$\dfrac{1}{1400}\ \text{pounds}=\dfrac{1}{1400}\times 453592\ mg\\\\=323.99\ \text{mg}$

Hence, 4 grains of aspirin contains 323.99 mg.

Bond [772]

Answer:

$C_t=0.165M$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Slope $K=0.056 M-1 s -1$

initial Concentration $C_1=2.2M$

Time $t=100$

Generally the equation for Raw law is mathematically given by

$\frac{1}{C}_t=kt+\frac{1}{C}_0$

$\frac{1}{C}_t=0.056*100+\frac{1}{2.2}_0$

$C_t=0.165M$

Arada [10]

Answer:

The correct option is: "Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is not found in the vegan diet and is very low in the lacto-vegetarian diet"

Explanation:

Homocysteine is a VERY IMPORTANT type of amino acid, a chemical that the body uses to make proteins. Normally, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and folic acid break down homocysteine and transform it into other substances that the body needs. There should be very little homocysteine left in the bloodstream. If you have high homocysteine levels in your blood, that could be a sign of a vitamin deficiency of the vitamins listed above, a heart condition, or a rare inherited disorder.

In an aqueous solution of a certain acid the acid is 4.4% dissociated and the pH is 3.03. Calculate the acid dissociation consta

NeX [460]

Answer:

4.1x10⁻⁵

Explanation:

The dissociation of an acid is a reversible reaction, and, because of that, it has an equilibrium constant, Ka. For a generic acid (HA), the dissociation happens by:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

So, if x moles of the acid dissociates, x moles of H⁺ and x moles of A⁻ is formed. the percent of dissociation of the acid is:

% = (dissociated/total)*100%

4.4% = (x/[HA])*100%

But x = [A⁻], so:

[A⁻]/[HA] = 0.044

The pH of the acid can be calcualted by the Handersson-Halsebach equation:

pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]

3.03 = pKa + log 0.044

pKa = 3.03 - log 0.044

pKa = 4.39

pKa = -logKa

logKa = -pKa

Ka = $10^{-pKa}$

Ka = $10^{-4.39}$

Ka = 4.1x10⁻⁵
