How many milliliters of sterile water for injection should be added to a vial containing 5 mg/mL of a drug to prepare a solution

jonny [76]

Answer:

7mL of sterile water is the initial amount of the concentrated solution is 3mL

Explanation:

In this problem, the vial must be <em>diluted </em>from 5mg/mL to 1.5mg/mL, that means the solution must be diluted:

5mg/mL / 1.5mg/mL = 3.33 times

If the initial amount of the drug in the vial is 3mL, the final volume must be:

10mL

That means the volume of water that should be added is:

10mL - 3mL:

<h3>7mL of sterile water is the initial amount of the concentrated solution is 3mL</h3>

However, when the temperature increases, the solubility of gaseous solutes will _______?

babunello [35]

Answer:

Decrease

Explanation:

Since the speed in which the gas molecules are faster as they are heated, they fly around in the container and logically, it is harder to insert a moving object into water than something more stationary or slower.

The following three equations represent reactions done in this lab exercise. Classify each reaction by their type. Note there ma

gulaghasi [49]

Answer: 1. $Cu(s)+4HNO_3(aq)rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)$ : oxidation reduction

2. $Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Cu(OH)_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)$ : precipitation

3. $CuO(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow CuCl_2(aq)+H_2O(l)$ : Double displacement

Explanation:

Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

$Cu(s)+4HNO_3(aq)rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)$

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where exchange of ions takes place. Double displacement reaction in which one of the product remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas. Such double displacement reaction are called as precipitation reaction.

$Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Cu(OH)_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)$

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where exchange of ions takes place.

$CuO(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow CuCl_2(aq)+H_2O(l)$

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction where a single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.

Synthesis/Combination reaction is defined as the reaction where substances combine in their elemental state to form a single compound.

What type of grass is poisioness

ikadub [295]

Answer: Tall fescue can be harmful to grazing cattle and horses because the grass can become tough and infected with endophytes, causing poor grazing. Switchgrass and tall fescue are less likely to be poisonous to dogs, cats or humans than to horses or cattle, but eating either of them might cause stomach upset.
