Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Since 300 ml of intravenous infusion contains 300 mg of drugs;

Then; 1 ml of intravenous infusion contains (x) amount of drugs

(x) amount of drugs = (300 mg × 1 ml)/ 300 ml

(x) amount of drugs = 1 mg.ml

To calculate the drip rate in drops/minutes by applying conversion factors.

rate (\dfrac{ in \ drops }{minute })= \dfrac{2 \ mg }{min } \times \dfrac{20 \ drops}{1 \ ml} \times \dfrac{1 \ ml }{1 \ mg }

rate (\dfrac{ in \ drops }{minute }) = 40 \  drops / min

Answer:All materials are made up from atoms, and all atoms consist of protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons, have a positive electrical charge. Neutrons have no electrical charge (that is they are Neutral), while Electrons have a negative electrical charge. Atoms are bound together by powerful forces of attraction existing between the atoms nucleus and the electrons in its outer shell.

Electrical Voltage

Voltage, ( V ) is the potential energy of an electrical supply stored in the form of an electrical charge. Voltage can be thought of as the force that pushes electrons through a conductor and the greater the voltage the greater is its ability to “push” the electrons through a given circuit. As energy has the ability to do work this potential energy can be described as the work required in joules to move electrons in the form of an electrical current around a circuit from one point or node to another.

Then the difference in voltage between any two points, connections or junctions (called nodes) in a circuit is known as the Potential Difference, ( p.d. ) commonly called the Voltage Drop.

he Potential difference between two points is measured in Volts with the circuit symbol V, or lowercase “v“, although Energy, E lowercase “e” is sometimes used to indicate a generated emf (electromotive force). Then the greater the voltage, the greater is the pressure (or pushing force) and the greater is the capacity to do work.

A constant voltage source is called a DC Voltage with a voltage that varies periodically with time is called an AC voltage. Voltage is measured in volts, with one volt being defined as the electrical pressure required to force an electrical current of one ampere through a resistance of one Ohm. Voltages are generally expressed in Volts with prefixes used to denote sub-multiples of the voltage such as microvolts ( μV = 10-6 V ), millivolts ( mV = 10-3 V ) or kilovolts ( kV = 103 V ). Voltage can be either positive or negative.

A sample of a substance has a mass of 27.3 grams and a volume of 7.0 centimeters3. The density of this substance is
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The density of the substance is 3.9 grams per cubic centimeter.

Explanation:

Given mass=27.3 grams

volume=7 cubic centimeter

We need to find the density.

Density of a substance can be calculated by dividing mass of substance by volume of a substance  

Density\ =\ \frac{mass}{volume}

\\Therefore\ density\ =\ \frac{27.3}{7} \ =\ 3.9\ \frac{gm}{cm^3}

Hence Density of the substance is 3.9gm/cm^3.
