If the dosage for a medication is 225mg/lb, how many grams should a 25-lb child be given?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Oksanka [162]3 years ago

Answer:

5.625 grams

Explanation:

Start your equation with what you have been given.  Place the units you need in your answer on the right side of the equal sign.

225mg

-----------   X  -----------   X ------------- =   ?   g

   lb

Now start to fill in your equation and use a conversions to get rid of the units you don't want.  Convert mg into grams first.  The child's weight (25 lb) is placed over 1 just to get the equation lined up properly so you can see how the units cancel out.

225 mg                 1 g                  25 lb            5.625 g

---------------   X   ---------------  X   -------------  =   ---------------

   lb                    1000 mg                 1                  1

The lb on the top and bottom cancel each other out and you are left with just grams.  Even though it is over one, that is the same at just 5.625 grams.

Lab report for physical and chemical changes??!

Answer:

[See Below]

Explanation:

✦ Physical Changes:

  ✧ Is when the form changes, but not the chemicals in that form.

  ✧ An example of this would be chopping wood. It's still wood but it's a different size now. It's easier to burn it since it's smaller.

✦ Chemical Changes:

  ✧ Is when the chemicals inside that form change to something else entirely

  ✧ An example would be an egg, when you cook the egg it can turn into being scrambled or fried. But you can't eat the raw egg until the chemicals change.

Calculate the number of grams of CO that can react with 0.400 kg of Fe2O3.
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

mass of CO = 210.42 g

mass in three significant figures = 210. g

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of Fe2O3 = 0.400 Kg

mass of CO= ?

Solution:

chemical equation:

Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2

Now we will calculate the molar mass of  Fe2O3 and CO.

Molar mass of  Fe2O3 = (55.845 × 2) + (16 × 3) = 159.69 g/mol

Molar mass of CO = 12+ 16 = 28 g/mol

now we will convert the kg of Fe2O3 in g.

mass of Fe2O3 = 0.400 kg × 1000 = 400 g

number of moles of Fe2O3  = 400 g/ 159.69 g/mol = 2.505 mol

mass of CO = moles of Fe2O3 × 3( molar mass of CO)

mass of CO = 2.505 mol × 84 g/mol

mass of CO = 210.42 g

mass in three significant figures = 210. g

Assign each species to the expression that most accurately describes the basic units of that substance. categories: single atoms
Temka [501]
Atoms are the smallest form of the substance. examples of atoms are in elemental forms such as copper, helium, silver. Diatomic molecules are made up of identical atoms. Examples are I2.. F2 and Br2. Formula units are those compounds that are made up of two or more elements such as -No2, KMnO4,<span>C3H8, MgCl2, HgBr2, Ba(OH)2</span>

Why does the fact that Americans are using less fertilizer not indicate a decline in American farming?
meriva
It shows that the population is moving towards a more organic and natural way of growing crops. Rather than using fertilizer and putting toxins on the plants that we eat from, we are getting smarter and growing food naturally. Thus not killing ourselves in the process.
