1 tsp contains medicine = 5 mL  

So,1.5 tsp contains medicine = 1.5 tsp x 5ml  

                                              = 7.5 ml  

Specific gravity = 1.23 g ml⁻¹  

Mass of the cold medicine= 7.5 × 1.23  g

                                             = 9.2 g

So, mass of the cold medicine was found to be 9.2 g.

So, a children's liquid cold medicine that has a specific gravity of 1.23. If a child take 1.5 tsp in a dose, the mass (in grams) of the cold medicine was found to be 9.2 g .

Assume 1 tsp is approximately can hold 5 mL liquid.

Given the dose of medicine = 1.5 tsp

Converting 1.5 tsp to mL:

1.5 tsp * \frac{5 mL}{1 tsp} = 7.5 mL

Given the specific gravity of the medicine = 1.23

That means density of the medicine with respect to water will be 1.23

As the density of water is 1 g/mL

We can take density of the medicine to be 1.23 g/mL

Calculating the mass of medicine in grams:

7.5 mL * \frac{1.23 g}{mL} =9.225 g

9.225 g medicine is present in one dose.

Mrac [35]

Answer:

CuBr₂(aq) + Pb(CH₃COO)₂(aq) → Cu(CH₃COO)₂(aq) + PbBr₂ (s)↓

Explanation:

We identify the reactants:

CuBr₂ and Pb(CH₃COO)₂

The products will be: Cu(CH₃COO)₂ and PbBr₂

You may know these information:

Salts from acetate are soluble.

Bromide can make solid salts with these cations: Ag⁺, Pb²⁺, Hg₂²⁺, Cu⁺

PbBr₂ is formed, so this will be our precipitate

The equation is:

CuBr₂(aq) + Pb(CH₃COO)₂(aq) → Cu(CH₃COO)₂(aq) + PbBr₂ (s)↓

An organic compound is composed of 38.7% C, 9.70% H, 51.6% O. The compound has a molecular formula mass of 62.0g/mol.

First, convert each percentage to grams: 38.7g, 9.70g, and 51.6g. 
Next, calculate the number of moles of each element, based on the number of grams given.
C = 3.23 mol
H = 8.91 mol
O = 3.23 mol
Set up the ratio of moles of each element:
C3.34H9.70O3.23. Convert the decimals to whole numbers by dividing by the smallest subscript, 3.23.
The empirical formula is CH3O.
Now, compute the formula mass, which is 31. Finally, divide the molecular mass by the formula mass, 62/31 = 2. Multiple the subscripts by 2 to get the molecular formula.

A sample has a pH of -0.248 (yes, it really is possible to have a negative pH). Find
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

pOH= 14.248

[H+]=1.77 M

[OH-]=5.65 x10^-15M

Explanation:

pH+pOH= 14

pOH= 14-pH

pOH=14-(-0.248)

pOH= 14.248

[H+]=10^-pH= 10^-(-0.248)=1.77 M

[OH-]=10^-pOH= 10^-14.248=5.65 x10^-15M
