Your veterinarian is administering a sedative to your 50 pound dog. The sedative is mixed in saline solution. Unfortunately the

solution is pre-mixed at 10% for a horse and it needs to be a 2.5% concentration to be administered at 0.7 ml per pound for your dog. How much saline water needs to be added to the current solution to reduce the concentration to 2.5% and have the correct dosage for the dog

Answer:

26.25 mL

Explanation:

This is a dilution problem. First, let us calculate the volume of final solution needed:

The dog weighs 50 pounds and the sedative is administered at 0/7 ml per pound. Hence:

50 x 0.7 = 35 mL

A total volume of 35 mL, 2.5% solution of the sedative will be needed.

But 10% solution is available. There needs to be a dilution with saline water, but what volume of the 10% solution would be diluted?

initial volume = ?

final volume = 35 mL

initial concentration = 10%

final concentration = 2.5%

Using dilution equation:

initial concentration x initial volume = final concentration x final volume

initial volume = \frac{final concentration*final volume}{initial concentration}

                     = 2.5 x 35/10 = 8.75 mL

Hence, 8.75 mL of the 10% pre-mixed sedative will be required.

But 35 mL is needed? The 8.75 mL is marked up to 35 mL with saline water.

35 - 8.75 = 26.25 mL

<em>Therefore, 26.25 mL of saline water will be added to 8.75 mL of the 10% pre-mixed sedative to give 2.5%, 35 mL needed for the dog.</em>

Zinc sulfate is a 2-ion electrolyte,
Gekata [30.6K]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of <em>i</em> is 1.4 and 40% dissociation of 100 particles of zinc sulfate will yield 60 undissociated particles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate the Vant' Hoff factor in dissociation follows:

\alpha =\frac{i-1}{n-1}

where,

\alpha = degree of dissociation = 40% = 0.40

i = Vant' Hoff factor

n = number of ions dissociated = 2

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.40=\frac{i-1}{2-1}\\\\0.40=i-1\\\\i=1.4

The equation used to calculate the degee of dissociation follows:

\alpha =\frac{\text{Number of particles dissociated}}{\text{Total number of particles taken}}

Total number of particles taken = 100

Degree of dissociation = 40% = 0.40

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.40=\frac{\text{Number of particles dissociated}}{100}\\\\\text{Number of particles dissociated}=(0.40\times 100)=40

This means that 40 particles are dissociated and 60 particles remain undissociated in the solution.

Hence, 40% dissociation of 100 particles of zinc sulfate will yield 60 undissociated particles.

Explain how astronomers use spectrographs to identify the composition of a star.
Gwar [14]
Each element absorbs light at specific wavelengths unique to that atom. When astronomers look at an object's spectrum, they can determine its composition based on these wavelengths. The most common method astronomers use to determine the composition of stars, planets, and other objects is spectroscopy.
hope this helps you! :-)

Classify the items based on whether they are or are not matter.
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Matter:

toothpaste

gasoline

bacteria

cell

Not matter:

happiness

sound

Explanation:

Matter is something that has mass and volume. Happiness is just a feeling, it doesn't exist in 3d world. Sound is a wave or just the movement of matter (particles of matter). Others have masses and volumes.

Can someone me Help please
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Independent would be the amount of sugar given and the dependent would be the amount of cavities

Scientists have control groups so they can have evidence to show the difference between that one and the experimental ones.

And the independent variable is the one that changes because with out it changing you wouldn't get different results.

I could be wrong tho sorryyy! but i hope this helps

What mass of butane in grams is necessary to produce 1.5×103 kj of heat what mass of co2 is produced?
kari74 [83]
The heat of reaction (i.e. combustion) of butane (C_{4} H_{10}) when reacted with oxygen (O_{2})  is -2658 kJ/mol butane, and the chemical reaction is given by: 

C_{4} H_{10} + \frac{13}{2} O_{2} ---> 4 CO_{2}  + 5 H_{2}O

The mass of butane required in the reaction is based on the heat produced by the reaction, which is given to be -1,500 kJ. The minus sign is added because the reaction releases heat (exothermic), which means that the products are in a "lower energy state" than the reactants. 

Dividing this with the heat of reaction per mole of butane reacted would give the number of moles butane required. Then, multiplying the answer with the molar mass of butane which is 58 grams/mole, will give the mass of butane required. 

Moles of butane = [(-1,500 kJ)/(-2658 kJ/mol butane)]
Moles of butane = 0.5643 moles butane

Mass of butane  = 0.5643 moles butane * 58 grams/mol butane
Mass of butane  = 32.73 grams butane

The mass of carbon dioxide (CO_{2}) can be determined by multiplying the moles of butane (C_{4} H_{10}) with the mole ratio of (CO_{2}) produced to the (C_{4} H_{10}) reacted, and then with the molar mass of (CO_{2}), which is 44 grams/mole. 

Mass of carbon dioxide produced 
    = 0.5643 moles butane * [4 moles CO_{2}/ 1 mole C_{4} H_{10}] * 44 grams/mole CO_{2}

Mass of carbon dioxide produced  
    = 99.32 grams CO_{2}

Thus, the mass of butane required is 32.73 grams, and the mass of carbon dioxide produced from the reaction of this amount of butane is 99.32 grams.
