Response:

2200 mg of antibiotic

Explanation:

The prescribed antibiotic dosage is 40 mg/kg of body weight.

For a patient weighing 55 kg, we calculate the dose of antibiotic as follows:

If we analyze 40/1000000, we can determine antibiotic allocation in kg per kg of weight

= 0.00004 kg of antibiotic for each kilogram

0.00004 multiplied by 55 (to find out the required amount for a 55 kg individual)

= 0.0022 kg

This 0.0022 figure converts to milligrams as follows

0.0022*10^6

= 2200 mg of antibiotic is indicated for a patient weighing 55 kg.

lorasvet [2795]
The isotopic mass of 47Z is calculated to be 46.96 amu. Isotopes of a single element differ in neutron count, and to ascertain the relative atomic mass, we consider each isotope's mass weighted by their natural abundance. This provided a computation to derive the mass of 47Z.

Two hypothetical ionic compounds are discovered with the chemical formulas XCl2 and YCl2, where X and Y represent symbols of the
Tems11 [2777]

Answer:

THE MOLAR MASS OF XCL2 IS 400 g/mol

THE MOLAR MASS OF YCL2 IS 250 g/mol.

Explanation:

We derive the molar mass of XCl2 and YCl2 by recalling the molar mass formula when both mass and the number of moles are known.

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Molar mass = mass / number of moles.

For XCl2,

mass = 100 g

number of moles = 0.25 mol

Thus, molar mass = mass / number of moles

Molar mass = 100 g / 0.25 mol

Molar mass = 400 g/mol.

For YCl2,

mass = 125 g

number of moles = 0.50 mol

Molar mass = 125 g / 0.50 mol

Molar mass = 250 g/mol.

Accordingly, the molar masses for XCl2 and YCl2 are 400 g/mol and 250 g/mol, respectively.

Suppose a 20.0 g gold bar at 35.0°C absorbs 70.0 calories of heat energy. Given that the specific heat of gold is 0.0310 cal/g °
VMariaS [2998]

The change in temperature can be expressed as:

T_2-T_1=\dfrac{q}{mC_p(Gold)}

By substituting in the known values, we arrive at:

T_2-T_1=\dfrac{70\ cal}{20\ g\times 0.0310\ cal/g^o\ C}\\\\T_2-T_1=112.90^oC\\\\T_2-35^oC=112.90^oC\\\\T_2=(112.90+35)^oC\\\\T_2=147.9^oC

Thus, we obtain the required answer.

A student reported to her instructor that her unknown contained salt, salicylic acid, and sand. In reality the unknown contained
lorasvet [2795]
From the provided data, the unknown mixture was composed of salt, salicylic acid, and sand. It is understandable that the student suspected the presence of sand, yet scientific experimentation must verify such assumptions. The test involving salt and salicylic acid reveals that salt dissolves in water, while salicylic acid is only slightly soluble, and sand does not dissolve at all. By introducing the unknown into water, the salt would dissolve first, followed by the partial dissolution of salicylic acid. Heating the mixture could allow for the evaporation of salicylic acid, resulting in the remaining salt. If traces of sand were observed in the dissolved sample, it could suggest contamination.

which intensive physical property is observed when droppings of a person seated inside a closed room has able to reach a person
lions [2927]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Speed".

Explanation:

  • An intensive or individualized physical property is identified when "speed" is observed as the excretion of an individual in a confined area, capable of reaching someone one meter away after sneezing or coughing.
  • This measure is represented in the unit of "meter per second", indicating its intensive nature.
