To be effective, a certain drug must not drop below 15 mg in the body. A 120
mgs of that drug was administered to a patient. How much time will it take for that drug to reach the 15 mg minimum level. The drug's half-life is 30 minutes.(show how you arrived at your response)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

90 Minutes

Explanation:

Original concentration = 120 mg

Half life = 30 minutes

Minimum level = 15 mg

Basically, we are to calculate the time it would take to drop from 120 mg to 15 mg.

The half life of a substance is the time it takes for the original concentration of a substance to drop to half it's starting concentration.

First Half life:

Starting concentration = 120mg

Concentration after half life = 120 / 2 = 60 mg

Second Half life;

Starting concentration = 60 mg

Concentration after half life = 60 / 2 = 30 mg

Third Half life;

Starting concentration = 30 mg

Concentration after half life = 30 / 2 = 15 mg

We have reached the minimum 15 mg level. This means it took three half lives to get there.

Total time taken = No of Half lives * Half life duration = 3 * 30 mins = 90 Minutes

Type your answer...

Answers

Answer:

0.967mole

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of NH₄Cl  = 21.67L

Unknown:

Number of moles  = ?

Solution:

We assume that the volume was taken at standard temperature and pressure,

 Then;

  Number of moles  = [tex]\frac{volume }{22.4L}[/tex]  

 Number of moles  = [tex]\frac{21.67}{22.4}[/tex]   = 0.967mole

A. Atom is said to be neutral if the number of protons and electrons is the same

The first atom neutral

The second atom - anion : charge = -2(10 electron-8 proton)

B. isotopes = the same atomic number and different mass number

The first atom : atomic number = 8, mass number = 16

The second atom neutral : atomic number = 8, mass number = 18

Both : isotopes

C. First atom = neutral, second atom anion (charge = -2)

Which of the following conclusions can be made about this chemical reaction based on the data? (1 point)
O Chlorine is more reactive than bromine.
Potassium bromide and chlorine do not react.
O Potassium metal is formed from a single replacement reaction.
O Bromine solution is colorless and is formed due to a single replacement reaction.

Answers

Answer:

O Chlorine is more reactive than bromine.

Explanation:

From this experiment we can conclude that chlorine is more reactive than bromine and it is the reason why the reaction is able to proceed.

The reaction is a single displacement reaction in which the position of an element in the activity series is very important. Since chlorine is more electronegative and highly reactive when compared to bromine, it will displace bromine from the solution of potassium bromide. So, we have product of potassium chloride and the bromide.

1 mole of O₂ has more mass compared to 1 mole of Na

Explanation:

1 mole oxygen atom and 1 mole of Na atom has the same number of particles.

A mole of any substance has the Avogadro number of particles which is

6.02 x 10²³

Mass of a substance  = number of moles x molar mass

   Molar mass of O₂  = 2(16)  = 32g/mol

   Molar mass of Na = 23g/mol

Mass of O₂ = 1 x 32  = 32g

Mass of Na = 1 x 23 = 23g

So, 1 mole of O₂ has more mass compared to 1 mole of Na

3. If 12.5 grams of copper are reacted with excess chlorine gas, then 25.4 grams of
copper (II) chloride are produced. Calculate the theoretical yield and the percent
yield. Cu + Cl2 → CuCl2

Answers

Answer:

Percent yield = 99.6%

Theoretical yield = 25.5 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of copper = 12.5 g

Mass of copper(II) chloride produced = 25.4 g

Theoretical yield = ?

Percent yield = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Cu + Cl₂       →        CuCl₂

Number of moles of copper:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 12.5 g / 63.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.19 mol

Now we will compare the moles of copper and copper chloride.

                  Cu          :           CuCl₂

                     1           :               1

                  0.19        :           0.19

Mass of CuCl₂: Theoretical yield

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.19 mol × 134.45 g/mol

Mass = 25.5 g

Percent yield:

Percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield )×100

Percent yield  = ( 25.4 g/ 25.5 g) ×100

Percent yield = 99.6%

To see the number of atoms of an element in a given molecule we need to multiply stoichiometry to the number that is written on the foot of the element that is stoichiometry. Therefore, the correct option is option A.

What is atom?

Atom is the smallest particle of any element, molecule or compound. Atom can not be further divided. Atoms contains nucleus in its center and electron that revolve around the atom in fixed orbit.

In the nucleus, proton and neutron are present. Electron has -1 charge while proton has +1 charge. Neutron is neutral that is it has no charge. So overall the charge of nucleus is due to only proton, not by neutron.  Most atoms are bonded together to make a molecule. Molecules combine to form compounds.

Therefore, the correct option is option A.
