a nurse practitioner orders Medrol to be given 1.5 mg/kg of body weight. if a child weighs 72.6lb and the available stock of Med

rol is 20.mg/mL, how many mL do you give to the child

Answer is: 2,469 mL give to the child.
The mass m in kilograms (kg) is equal to the mass m in pounds (lb) times 0,45359237: m(child) = 72,6 · 0,045359237 = 32,93 kg.
m(Medrol) = 32,93 kg · 1,5 mg/kg.
m(Medrol) = 49,39 mg.
d(Medrol) = 20,0 mg/mL.
V(Medrol) = m(Medrol) ÷ d(Medrol).
V(Medrol) = 49,39 mg ÷ 20 mg/mL.
V(Medrol) = 2,469 mL.

What would be the pH of an H2SO4 solution if the [H+] = 4.58 x 10-5 moles/liter?

Ghella [55]

Answer: pH of an $H_2SO_4$ solution is 4.34

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$H_2SO_4\rightarrow 2H^++SO_4^{2-}$

Putting in the values:

$pH=-\log[4.58\times 10^{-5}]$

$pH=4.34$

Thus pH of an $H_2SO_4$ solution if the $[H^+]$ is $4.58\times 10^{-5}]$ is 4.34

What is the term for the amount of energy that is needed for a chemical reaction to occur?

cupoosta [38]

<span>This would be the activation energy. This is usually in the form of heat, which allows the reaction to undergo some sort of transition. Many times, enzymes can be used as catalysts to lower the activation energy required for the reaction to take place.</span>

An ideal gas contained in a piston-cylinder assembly is compressed isothermally in an internally reversible process.

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

a) $\Delta S$

b) entropy of the sistem equal to a), entropy of the universe grater than a).

Explanation:

a) The change of entropy for a reversible process:

$\delta S=\frac{\delta Q}{T}$

$\Delta S=\frac{Q}{T}$

The energy balance:

$\delta U=[tex]\delta Q- \delta W$

If the process is isothermical the U doesn't change:

$0=[tex]\delta Q- \delta W$

$\delta Q= \delta W$

$Q= W$

The work:

$W=\int_{V1}^{V2}P*dV$

If it is an ideal gas:

$P=\frac{n*R*T}{V}$

$W=\int_{V1}^{V2}\frac{n*R*T}{V}*dV$

Solving:

$W=n*R*T*ln(V2/V1)$

Replacing:

$\Delta S=\frac{n*R*T*ln(V2/V1)}{T}$

$\Delta S=n*R*ln(V2/V1)}$

Given that it's a compression: V2<V1 and ln(V2/V1)<0. So:

$\Delta S$

b) The entropy change of the sistem will be equal to the calculated in a), but the change of entropy of the universe will be 0 in a) (reversible process) and in b) has to be positive given that it is an irreversible process.

How does black and coloured objects absorb light and convert it into heat?

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Light energy can be converted into heat energy. A black object absorbs all wavelengths of light and converts them into heat, so the object gets warm. A white object reflects all wavelengths of light, so the light is not converted into heat and the temperature of the object does not increase noticeably.
