Conversion factor, 1 gallon = 4546.09 ml

Volume of stock solution = 1 gallon or 4546.09 ml

Dose required by the child = 5 ml/day

The number of days a gallon of this medicine last,

4546.09 ml x 1 day/ 5 ml = 909.218 days

Therefore, 1 gallon would last 909 days.

25.0cm3 of s saturated potassium hydroxide is neutralized by 35.0cm3 of hydrogen chloride acid of concentration 0.75 mol/dm3. Ca

Kamila [148]

Answer:

Concentration of the original $\rm KOH$ solution: approximately $1.05\; \rm mol \cdot dm^{-3}$ .

Explanation:

Notice that the concentration of the $\rm HCl$ solution is in the unit $\rm mol\cdot dm^{-3}$ . However, the unit of the two volumes is $\rm cm^{3}$ . Convert the unit of the two volumes to $\rm dm^{3}$ to match the unit of concentration.

$\begin{aligned} V(\mathrm{NaOH}) &= 25.0\; \rm cm^{3} \\ &= 25.0\; \rm cm^{3} \times \frac{1\; \rm dm^{3}}{1000\; \rm cm^{3}} \approx 0.0250\; \rm dm^{3} \end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned} V(\mathrm{HCl}) &= 35.0\; \rm cm^{3} \\ &= 35.0\; \rm cm^{3} \times \frac{1\; \rm dm^{3}}{1000\; \rm cm^{3}} \approx 0.0350\; \rm dm^{3} \end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the number of moles of $\rm HCl$ molecules in that $0.0350\; \rm dm^{3}$ of $0.75\; \rm mol \cdot dm^{3}$ $\rm HCl\!$ solution:

$\begin{aligned}n(\mathrm{HCl}) &= c(\mathrm{HCl}) \cdot V(\mathrm{HCl}) \\ &= 0.00350\; \rm dm^{3} \times 0.75\; \rm mol \cdot dm^{3} \\ &\approx 0.02625\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

$\rm HCl$ is a monoprotic acid. In other words, each $\rm HCl\!$ would release up to one proton $\rm H^{+}$ .

On the other hand, $\rm KOH$ is a monoprotic base. Each $\rm KOH\!$ formula unit would react with up to one $\rm H^{+}$ .

Hence, $\rm HCl$ molecules and $\rm KOH\!$ formula units would react at a one-to-one ratio.

${\rm HCl}\, (aq) + {\rm NaOH}\, (aq) \to {\rm NaCl}\, (aq) + {\rm H_2O}\, (l)$ .

Therefore, that $0.02625\; \rm mol$ of $\rm HCl$ molecules would neutralize exactly the same number of $\rm NaOH$ formula units. That is: $n(\mathrm{NaOH}) = 0.02625\; \rm mol$ .

Calculate the concentration of a $\rm NaOH$ solution where $V(\mathrm{NaOH}) = 0.0250\; \rm dm^{3}$ and $n(\mathrm{NaOH}) = 0.02625\; \rm mol$ :

$\begin{aligned}c(\mathrm{NaOH}) &= \frac{n(\mathrm{NaOH})}{V(\mathrm{NaOH})} \\ &= \frac{0.02625\; \rm mol}{0.0250\; \rm dm^{3}}\approx 1.05\; \rm mol \cdot dm^{-3}\end{aligned}$ .

Draw the cis and trans isomers of 2-butene, ch3chchch3. show all hydrogen atoms.

RoseWind [281]

In general chemistry, isomers are two or more elements that have the same number of protons but differ in mass number. In organic chemistry, the compounds are cis or trans isomers if they have the same chemical formula, but differ in the placement of functional groups based on molecular geometry. Cis isomer is when two like functional groups are on the same side of the molecules, while trans isomer is when the like functional groups are on opposite sides.

The cis-trans isomers are shown in the picture. As you can see, in the cis isomer, the methane functional group are both in the same side. Same as well with the hydrogen atoms. On the other hand, these functional groups are opposite to each other in the trans isomer.

Why is there so little evidence of the Period of Heavy Bombardment on Earth?

OverLord2011 [107]

C. Weathering, plate movements and volcanoes destroyed many of

the craters

Explanation:

The earth is a dynamic planet. Both external and internal processes sculpt and shapes the surface and interior of the earth primarily from the energy from the sun and the primordial heat accumulated during the formation of the earth.

The period of heavy bombardment of the earth resulted in the creation of craters and other impact features on the earth surface.
As earth evolved, the process of weathering which is one of the tools of denudation caused the lowering and changing of the earth. Through this process sedimentary rocks were formed.
The movement of the earth through plate tectonics also greatly shaped the earth. New materials from the interior were brought to the surface. Some existing parts were destroyed at subduction zones. Some also became elevated.
Volcanism also brought new materials to the surface and this changed the terrain.
