Answer:

300 kg

Explanation:

The give parameters obtained from a similar question are;

The mass of oseltamivir per capsule = 75 mg

The mass of oseltamivir required, <em>M</em>, is given as follows;

M = The mass of oseltamivir per capsule × The mass taken per person per day × 5 days × The number of people in the city

M = 0.75 mg/capsule × 2 capsule/(day·person) × 5 days × 400,000 people

M = 300,000,000 mg = 300 kg

Which option states the principle behind the law of conservation of mass and the law of conservation of energy?
jeka94

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that matter can never be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.

The law of conservation of energy posits that energy cannot be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.

These laws are the basic laws of existence. Although the laws have been adjusted, they still form the basic principle behind several scientific laws and are responsible for a whole lot of scientific advancements.

While the first law focuses on matter and the content of matter in a body, the second law basically focuses on energy. The second law serves to support the inter convertibility behind the several forms or types of energy.

For example, to do many useful work at home, it is found that energy is converted from its electric form to say heat in an electric iron to press our clothes.

Also, the first law is a fundamental principle useful in the balancing of our chemical equations.

What is the mass of carbon in 500. g of octane?
denis23 [38]

The answer is: the mass of carbon is 420.6 grams.

m(C₈H₁₈) = 500 g; mass of octane.

M(C₈H₁₈) = 114.22 g/mol; molar mass of octane.

n(C₈H₁₈) = m(C₈H₁₈) ÷ M(C₈H₁₈).

n(C₈H₁₈) = 500 g ÷ 114.22 g/mol.

n(C₈H₁₈) = 4.38 mol; amount of octane.

In one molecule of octane, there are eight carbon atoms:

n(C) = 8 · n(C₈H₁₈).

n(C) = 8 · 4.38 mol.

n(C) = 35.02 mol; amount of carbon.

m(C) = 35.02 mol · 12.01 g/mol.

m(C) = 420.6 g; mass of carbone.
