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
1 answer:
Answer:
(b)90mg/lb
Explanation:
The child can consume a maximum of 23 tablets with 80mg of acetaminophen, the total acetaminophen ingest is:
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.
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.

<h3>Explanation</h3>Note that the group number in this answer refers to the new IUPAC group number, which ranges from 1 to 18. Counts from the left. Start with the first two column (group 1 and 2), go on to the transition elements (Sc, Ti, etc. in group 3 through 12), and continue with the nonmetals (group 13 through 18).
Li is a group 1 metal. As a metal, it tends to form positive ions ("cations"). Metals in group 1 and 2 are <em>main group</em> metals. The charge on main group metal ions tends to be the same as the group number of the metal. Li is in group 1. The charge on an Li ion will be +1. Formula of the Li ion will be .
Br is a group 17 nonmetal. As a nonmetal, it tends to form negative ions ("anions"). The charge on nonmetal ions excepting for H tends to equal the group number of the nonmetal minus 18. Br is in group 17. The charge on a Br ion will be 17 - 18 = -1. Formula of the Br ion will be
All the ions in an ionic compound carry charge. However, some of the ions like are positive. Others ions like
are negative. Charge on the two types of ions balance each other. As a result, the compound is <em>overall</em> neutral.
1 × (+1) + 1 × (-1) = 0. The positive charge on one ion balances the negative charge on one
ion. The two ions would pair up at a 1:1 ratio.
The empirical formula for an ionic compound shows all the ions in the compound. Positive ions are written in front of negative ions. is positive and
is negative. The formula shall also show the simplest ratio between the ions. For the compound between Li and Br, a 1:1 ratio will be the simplest. The "1" subscript in an empirical formula can be omitted. Hence the formula: LiBr.
