The amount to administer to the child is 2,469 mL.
To convert to kilograms (kg), the child's weight in pounds (lb) is multiplied by 0.45359237: m(child) = 72.6 · 0.045359237 = 32.93 kg.
To find m(Medrol), the child's mass in kilograms is multiplied by 1.5 mg/kg.
Thus, m(Medrol) = 32.93 kg · 1.5 mg/kg = 49.39 mg.
The concentration of Medrol is d(Medrol) = 20.0 mg/mL.
To find the volume of Medrol needed, use V(Medrol) = m(Medrol) ÷ d(Medrol).
So, V(Medrol) = 49.39 mg ÷ 20 mg/mL = 2,469 mL.

A 19.3-g mixture of oxygen and argon is found to occupy a volume of 16.2 l when measured at 675.9 mmhg and 43.4oc. what is the p
KiRa [2933]
<span>The partial pressure of oxygen is 438.0 mmHg. The ideal gas equation is expressed as PV = nRT where P represents pressure, V denotes volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant (8.3144598 (L*kPa)/(K*mol)), and T signifies absolute temperature. To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, we have 43.4 + 273.15 = 316.55 K. For the pressure conversion from mmHg to kPa: 675.9 mmHg * 0.133322387415 = 90.11260165 kPa. When solving for n using the ideal gas equation, we derive n = PV / (RT) which provides n = 90.11260165 kPa * 16.2 L / (8.3144598 (L*kPa)/(K*mol) * 316.55 K)= 1459.824147 L*kPa / 2631.94225 (L*kPa)/(mol), resulting in n = 0.554656603 mol. Thus, we have 0.554656603 moles of gas particles. Next, we determine the contribution from oxygen. The atomic weight of oxygen is 15.999 g/mol, while argon is 39.948 g/mol, and the molar mass of O2 is 31.998 g/mol. We establish the relationships where M is the number of moles of O2, and 0.554656603 - M gives the number of moles of Ar. Setting up the equation: M * 31.998 + (0.554656603 - M) * 39.948 = 19.3, we solve for M resulting in 0.359424148 moles of oxygen out of 0.554656603 total moles. This leads to oxygen providing 0.359424148 / 0.554656603 = 0.648012024 or 64.8012024% of the total pressure of 675.9 mmHg. The partial pressure therefore calculates to 675.9 * 0.648012024 = 437.9913271 mmHg, rounded to 438.0 mmHg</span>

In living organisms, C-14 atoms disintegrate at a rate of 15.3 atoms per minute per gram of carbon. A charcoal sample from an ar
lions [2927]

Answer:

The result is "4,241.17 years"

Explanation:

The disintegration rate for C-14 atoms is indicated in  15.3 \frac{atoms}{min-g}

The dissolution rate of the sample is given by 9.16 \frac{atoms} {min-gram}

The C-14 proportion within the sample can be determined as per = \frac {9.16}{15.3} \\\\ = 0.5987

With a half-life of 5730 years.

Now, we need to compute the number of half-lives (n) that are applicable:

(\frac{1}{2})^n= A\\\\A= fraction of C-14, which is remaining \\\\(\frac{1}{2})^n= 0.5987 \\\\ n \log 2 = - \log 0.5987\\\\

\therefore \\\\ \Rightarrow n= \frac{0.227}{0.3010} \\\\ = 0.740\\

Thus, the age of the sample is represented as = n \times\ half-life

                                                 = 0.740 \times 5730 \ years \\\\=4241.17 \ years\\\\

A gas sample of argon, maintained at constant temperature, occupies a volume of 500. l at 4.00 atm. what is the new volume if th
lorasvet [2795]
Boyle's law describes the relationship between gas pressure and volume. 
It asserts that at a constant temperature, pressure is inversely proportional to gas volume.
PV = k
where P represents pressure, V denotes volume, and k is a constant. 
P1V1 = P2V2
where the parameters for the initial condition are on the left, and the parameters for the second condition appear on the right side of the formula.
By substituting values into the equation: 4.00 atm x 500 L = 8.0 atm x V
V calculates to 250 L.
Thus, the new volume becomes 250 L.

lorasvet [2795]

Answer:

The particle's velocity is calculated to be 2 m/s,

Explanation:

Kinetic energy refers to the energy an object possesses due to its movement. The formula for kinetic energy is:

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where:

m = the mass of the object

v = the object's velocity

A particle with mass m has a kinetic energy that is double its mass.

K.E=2m

2m=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

v^2=\frac{4}{1}

v=2

Since the velocity is measured in m/s, we determine that the particle's speed is 2 m/s.
