How many kilograms of oseltamivir would be needed to treat all the people in a city with a population of 400000 people if each p

erson consumes two oseltamivir capsules a day for 5 days? Express your answer to one significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Oseltamivir, C16H28N2O4, is a drug that is used to treat influenza. The preparation of oseltamivir begins with the extraction of shikimic acid from the seedpods of star anise. From 2.6 g of star anise, 0.13 g of shikimic acid can be obtained and used to produce one capsule containing 75 mg of oseltamivir. The usual adult dosage for treatment of influenza is two capsules of oseltamivir daily for 5 days.

Answer:

300 kg

Explanation:

The number of people in the city, p = 400,000

The number of capsules of oseltamivir each person consumes per day, n = 2 capsules

The number of days each person consumes the oseltamivir capsules, t = 5 days

The mass of oseltamivir in each capsule, m = 75 mg

The mass of oseltamivir needed to treat all the people in the city, <em>M</em>, is given as follows;

M = n·t·m·p

∴ M (in milligrams) = (2 × 5 × 75 × 400,000) mg = 300,000,000 mg

1,000,000 mg = 1 kg

∴ 300,000,000 mg = 300 kg

The mass of oseltamivir needed to treat all the people in the city, <em>M</em> = 300 kg

What volume of a concentrated HCl solution, which is 36.0% HCl by mass and has a density of 1.179 g/mL, should be used to make 5
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The volume we need is 8.89 mL

Explanation:

We analyse data:

36 % by mass → 36 g of HCl in 100 g of solution

Solution's density = 1.179 g/mL

5.20L → Volume of diluted density

pH = 1.70 → [H⁺] = 10⁻¹'⁷⁰ = 0.0199 M

 HCl    →       H⁺     +    Cl⁻

                 0.0199

pH can gives the information of protons concentrations, so as ratio is 1:1, 0.0199 M is also the molar concentration of HCl

Let's verify the molar concentration of the concentrated solution:

We convert the mass to moles: 36 g / 36.45 g/mol = 0.987 moles

As the solution mass is 100 g, we apply density to find out the volume:

Density = Mass / volume → Volume = Mass / Density

Volume = 100 g / 1.179 g/mL → 84.8 mL

Let's convert the volume from mL to L in order to define molarity

84.8 mL . 1L/ 1000mL = 0.0848 L

Molarity → 0.987 mol / 0.0848L = 11.6M

Let's apply the dilution formula:

M concentrated . V concentrated = M diluted . V diluted

11.6 M . V concentrated = 0.0199M . 5.20L

V concentrated = (0.0199M . 5.20L) / 11.6M → 8.89×10⁻³L

We can say, that the volume we need is 8.89 mL

When aluminum, Al, metal is dipped in an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid, HCl, hydrogen gas H_2 is produced with the forma
erica [24]

Answer:

2Al(s) + 6HCl(aq) = 2AlCl3(aq) + 3H2(g)

Explanation:

The reaction is a displacement reaction.

The reaction does not commence immediately because the Al(aluminum) has Al2O3 (Aluminum oxide) which protect it from reacting with water.

It takes some time for the HCl (hydrochloric acid) to eat the coating, then the reaction proceed vigorously to produce hydrogen gas bubbles. Generally metals that are above hydrogen in the electrochemical series tend to displace Hydrogen from Hydrochloric acid. The more negative the electrochemical volts the more the tendency to lose electron. Metal above hydrogen have negative evolts while those below have positive evolts

Why do many metal ions produce acidic solutions when dissolved in water?
lakkis [162]
<span>Water molecules form a complex with metal ions (usually a 6-coordinate complex). And the high charge density on a metal ion draws electrons away from the water molecules, making the O-H bonds more polar than normal. This allows the dissociation of the protons, making solutions of most metal ions acidic</span>
