Answer: 0.408 grams is to given for 180 lb patient.

Explanation:

Given : A intramuscular medication is given at 5.00 mg/kg of body weight.

That is for a body with weight of 1 kg , we have to give 5.00 mg of medication

Converting the mass in kg to pounds

1 kg = 2.20462 lb

Thus for a body with weight of 2.20462 lb , we have to give= 5.00 mg of medication

For body weight of 180 lb , we have to give = $\frac{5.00}{2.20462}\times 180=408.23mg$ of medication

Also 1 mg = 0.001 grams

Thus $408.23mg=\frac{0.001}{1}\times 408.23=0.408grams$

Thus for a body with weight of 2.20462 lb , we have to give 0.408 grams of medication.

1 lb of CO2 occupies 0.6 ft^3 at a pressure of 200 psi. Determine the temperature of the system.

Anarel [89]

<u>Answer:</u> The temperature of the system is 273 K

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of carbon dioxide = 1 lb = 453.6 g (Conversion factor: 1 lb = 453.6 g)

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of carbon dioxide}=\frac{453.6g}{44g/mol}=10.31mol$

To calculate the temperature of gas, we use the equation given by ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of carbon dioxide = 200 psia = 13.6 atm (Conversion factor: 1 psia = 0.068 atm)

V = Volume of carbon dioxide = $0.6ft^3=16.992L$ (Conversion factor: $1ft^3=28.32L$ )

n = number of moles of carbon dioxide = 10.31 mol

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the system = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$13.6atm\times 16.992L=10.31mol\times 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times T\\\\T=273K$

Hence, the temperature of the system is 273 K

In the Minnesota Department of Health set a health risk limit for acetone in groundwater of 60.0 μg/L . Suppose an analytical ch

siniylev [52]

Answer:

m = 4.7 μg

Explanation:

Given data:

density of acetone = 60.0 μg/L

Volume = 79.0 mL

Mass = ?

Solution:

Formula:

d = m/v

v = 79.0 mL × 1L /1000 mL

v = 0.079 L

Now we will put the values on formula:

d = m/v

60.0 μg/L = m/0.079 L

m = 60.0 μg/L × 0.079 L

m = 4.7 μg

So health risk limit for acetone = 4.7 μg
