A 28-kg child can consume a maximum of 23 children's acetaminophen tablets in an 8-h period without exceeding the safety-limit m

aximum allowable dose. Given that each children's tablet contains 80 mg of acetaminophen, determine the maximum allowable dose in mg per pound of body weight for one day. (a) 80 mg/lb (b) 90 mg/lb (c) 430 mg/lb (d) 720 mg/lb (e) 3.7 mg/lb

Answer:

(b)90mg/lb

Explanation:

The child can consume a maximum of 23 tablets with 80mg of acetaminophen, the total acetaminophen ingest is:

23*80=1840mg

This value is for 8 hours, 8 hours is 1/3 of one day. This means that the dose that can be consumed in 24 hours is 3 times 1840mg.

1840*3=5520mg

To obtain the maximum allowable dose in mg per pound of body weight, divide this last value by the weight of the child in pounds.

Conversion of units: 28Kg(\frac{2.20lb}{1Kg} )=61.6lb

\frac{5520}{61.6} =89.61\approx90mg/lb

Why are halogens so reactive?
TEA [102]
<span>This means that has great capacity to react with other chemical elements in nature, reacting mainly with sodium, therefore, can only be findings in chemical compounds in most cases.

how many moles of sodium are needed to react with sulfuric acid to produce 3.75 moles of sodium sulfate according to the followi
anastassius [24]
Hello!
<span>
You'll need to react 7,5 moles of Sodium with sulfuric acid to produce 3.75 moles of sodium sulfate
</span>
First of all, you need to balance the reaction. The balanced reaction is shown below (ensuring that the Law of Conservation of Mass is met on both sides):

2Na + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + H₂

Now, all that you have to do is to use molar equivalences in this reaction applying the coefficients to calculate the moles of Sodium that you'll need:

molesNa=3,75moles Na_{2} SO_4* \frac{2 moles Na}{1 mol Na_{2} SO_4} =7,5 moles Na 

Have a nice day!

How can electronegativity be used to explain the reaction we see in terms of the numbers and types of bonded being formed in lit
kolezko [41]

Explanation:

Lithium is an electropositive element that readily loses electrons.

Oxygen is electronegative and it will readily accept electrons.

 Due to this significant electronegativity differences between the two species they form electrovalent or ionic bonds between them.

  2atoms of Li lose two electrons:

      Li  →  Li²⁺ + e⁻

             Lithium isoelectronic with helium

 For oxygen;

      O + 2e⁻   →  O²⁻

                          Oxygen is isoelectronic with Neon

Two ions of the lithium combines with the oxygen to form the bond;

                   4Li + O₂  →  2Li₂O

The electrostatic attraction between the two ions forms the ionic bond
