Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{Two tablets per day; half a tablet per dose}}

Explanation:

1. Convert pounds to kilograms

\text{Body weight} = \text{38 lb} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg}}{\text{2.205 kg}} = \text{17.2 kg}

2. Convert kilograms of body weight to milligrams of acyclovir

\text{Mass of acyclovir} = \text{17.2 kg} \times \dfrac{\text{80 mg acyclovir}}{\text{1 kg}} = \text{1380 mg acyclovir }

3. Convert milligrams of acyclovir to number of tablets

\text{No. of tablets} = \text{1380 mg} \times \dfrac{\text{1 tablet}}{\text{700 mg}} = \textbf{2 tablets}

4. Calculate the tablets per dose

The child must receive two tablets in four doses.

\text{Tablets per dose} = \dfrac{\text{2 tablets}}{\text{4 doses}} = \textbf{0.5 tablets per dose}\\\\\text{The child must receive $\large \boxed{\textbf{two tablets per day and half a tablet per dose}}$}

When an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, the atom:
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

A. absorbs light

Explanation:

For an electron to move from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, energy needs to be added to the atom.

In most cases this required energy will be light: The electron of the atom will absorb the energy of the light and move to a higher energy level.

When said electron comes back to the lower energy level, the atom will conversely give off light.

A sample of gas in a balloon has an initial temperature of 21 ∘C and a volume of 1310 L . If the temperature changes to 70 ∘C ,
bixtya [17]

Answer:

1528.3L

Explanation:

To solve this problem we should know this formula:

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

We must convert the values of T° to Absolute T° (T° in K)

21°C + 273 = 294K

70°C + 273 = 343K

Now we can replace the data

1310L / 294K = V₂ / 343K

V₂ = (1310L / 294K) . 343K → 1528.3L

If the pressure keeps on constant, volume is modified directly proportional to absolute temperature. As T° has increased, the volume increased too

How can we tell the distance sediments traveled due to erosion ?​
meriva

Answer:

more rounded the grains are the more they have been moved around

Explanation:

Generally – the more rounded the grains are the more they have been moved around (i.e. the longer the length of time or distance they have moved). Angular grains cannot have travelled far

Based on the vibrational difference you observed, state a hypothesis to explain why diatomic molecules in the air, such as oxyge
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The ability of a gas to function as a green house gas depends on its ability to absorb infra red rays. In turn, the absorption of infrared red rays depends on whether or not the molecule is IR active.

The triatomic molecules such as methane and water are IR active. Only IR active molecules can lead to green house effect.

Note that for a molecular vibrational mode to be IR active, the dipole moment of the molecule is changed as the vibration occurs .
