Answer:

Production of Citric Acid

It is an organic carboxylic acid and can be extracted from the juice of citrus fruits by adding calcium oxide to form calcium citrate, which is an insoluble precipitate that can be collected by filtration; the citric acid can be recovered from its calcium salt by adding sulfuric acid.

Citric acid is the most important organic acid produced in tonnage and is extensively used in food and pharmaceutical industries. It is produced mainly by submerged fermentation using Aspergillus niger from different sources of carbohydrates, such as molasses and starch based media.

Citric acid is most prevalent in citrus fruits and juices. Of these fruits, lemons and limes have the most citric acid. While oranges, grapefruits, and berries also contain appreciable amounts, lemons and limes will most significantly contribute to the citric acid content of your urine.

Aluminum sulfate is added to tripotassium phosphate. What kind of chemical reaction is this?
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Double Replacement

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced reaction that occurs between aluminum sulfate and tripotassium phosphate.

Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 2 K₃PO₄ ⇒ 2 AlPO₄ + 3 K₂SO₄

This is a double replacement reaction because both salts exchange their cations and anions. So, PO₄³⁻ takes the place of SO₄²⁻ in Al₂(SO₄)₃ and SO₄²⁻ takes the place of PO₄³⁻ in K₃PO₄.

Rx: Codeine phosphate 30 mg/tsp Tussin syrup 30mL Elixophyllin qs 240 mL Sig: 5mL qid pc hs If 5 mL of Tussin syrup contains 100
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

50 mg.

Explanation:

From the prescription, 240 ml amount is to be prepared containing 30 ml tussin syrup. As the frequency is 5 mL qid, it means 5mL of syrup is to be administered four times daily i.e. 20 mL daily. To calculate the amount of tussin taken daily,

<em>                          </em><em><u>30 mL tussin</u></em><em> = </em><em><u>X mL of tussin</u></em>

<em>                     240 mL solution    20ml solution</em>

⇒ 2.5 mL of tussin

5 ml tussin contains 100mg guafenesin,

So,

⇒ 2.5 ml of tussin contains 100x2.5/5 = 50 mg guaifenesin
