A doctor wants to prescribe a 70 kg patient a drug to be taken PO. In order to achieve an average steady-state plasma concentration (Css) of this drug in its therapeutic range, the patient needs to have a of Css of 597 μg/L. The VD of this drug is 2.3 L/kg, the F of this drug is 0.70, and the half-life of this drug is 12.9 hours. What is the necessary dosing regimen needed to achieve the desired Css? (units: mg/day, i.e., mg/24 h))

An antacid tablet (such as Tums or Rolaids) weighs 1.3259 g. The only acid-neutralizing ingredient in this brand of antacid is CaCO3. When placed in 12.07 mL of 1.070 M HCl, the tablet fizzes merrily as CO2(g) is givenoff. After all of the CO2 has left the solution, an indicator is added, followed by 11.74 mL of 0.5310 M NaOH. The indicator shows that at this point the solution is definitely basic. Addition of 5.12 mL of 1.070 M HCl makes thesolution acidic again. Then 3.17 mL of the 0.5310 M NaOH brings the titration exactly to an endpoint, as signaled by the indicator. Compute the percentage by mass of CaCO3 in the tablet.
