Answer:

0.8853 mL

Explanation:

First we convert 13 lb to kg, keeping in mind that 1 lb = 0.454 kg:

13 lb * $\frac{0.454kg}{1lb}$ = 5.902 kg

Then we calculate how many mg of acetaminophen should be given, using the recommended dose and infant mass:

15 mg/kg * 5.902 kg = 88.53 mg

Finally we calculate the required mL of suspension, using its concentration:

88.53 mg ÷ (80 mg/0.80 mL) = 0.8853 mL

An unknown substance is heated from 10 °C to 25 °C. The table below shows the state of the substance at different temperatures.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Its melting point is 17 °C.

Explanation:

The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid. At the melting point the solid and liquid phase exist in equilibrium.

So, the melting point is 17 °C.

And this is shown in the figure attached.

1 What characteristic of an element determines how its atoms can bond with other atoms?

Masja [62]

Answer:

Electrons

Explanation:

The electrons of the outermost energy level determine the energetic stability of the atom and its tendency to form chemical bonds with other atoms to form molecules. Under standard conditions, atoms fill the inner shells first, often resulting in a variable number of electrons in the outermost shell.

It is known that the kinetics of recrystallization for some alloy obey the Avrami equation andthat the value of n in the exponen

Paul [167]

Answer:

rate of recrystallization = 4.99 × 10⁻³ min⁻¹

Explanation:

For Avrami equation:

$y = 1-e ^{(-kt^n)} \\ \\ e^{(-kt^n)} = 1-y\\ \\ -kt^n = In(1-y) \\ \\ k = \dfrac{-In(1-y)}{t^n}$

To calculate the value of k which is a dependent variable for the above equation ; we have:

$k = \dfrac{-In(1-0.40)}{200^{2.5}}$

$k = 9.030 \times 10 ^{-7}$

The time needed for 50% transformation can be determined as follows:

$y = 1-e ^{(-kt^n)} \\ \\ e^{(-kt^n)} = 1-y\\ \\ -kt^n = In(1-y) \\ \\ t =[ \dfrac{-In(1-y)}{k}]^{^{1/n}}$

$t_{0.5} =[ \dfrac{-In(1-0.4)}{9.030 \times 10^{-7}}]^{^{1/2.5}}$

= 200.00183 min

The rate of reaction for Avrami equation is:

$rate = \dfrac{1}{t_{0.5}}$

$rate = \dfrac{1}{200.00183}$

rate = 0.00499 / min

rate of recrystallization = 4.99 × 10⁻³ min⁻¹

The term that best describes a 10-gram of KCIO3 per 100 grams of water solution at 30 degrees celsius is:

In-s [12.5K]

The term that best described a 10 gram of KClO3 per 100 grams of water solution at 30 degree Celcius is Saturated. The solubility chart is needed for this work. If the solubility chart is drawn for KClO3, it will be observed that the proportion of KClO3 that is needed to dissolve in 100ml of water to make the solution saturated is 10 grams at 30 degree Celcius.
