Concept explainers
Suppose you were dissatisfied with both Celsius and Fahrenheit units and wanted to design your own temperature scale based on ethyl alcohol (ethanol). On the Celsius scale, ethanol has a melt- ing point of — 117.3oC and a boiling point of 78.5oC, but on your new scale calibrated in units of degrees ethanol, oE, you define ethanol to melt at 0oE and boil at 200oE.
(a) How does your ethanol degree compare in size with a Celsius degree?
(b) How does an ethanol degree compare in size with a Fahren- heit degree?
(c) What are the melting and boiling points of water on the etha- nol scale?
(d) What is normal human body temperature (98.6oF) on the ethanol scale?
(e) If the outside thermometer reads 130oE, how would you dress to go out?

- 1-86 The specific heats of some elements at 25oC are as follows: aluminum = 0.215 cal/g · oC; carbon (graphite) = 0.170 caI/g oC; iron = 0.107 cal/g mercury = 0.033 1 caI/g oC. (a) Which element would require the smallest amount of heat to raise the temperature of 100 g of the element by 10oC? (b) If the same amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of aluminum by 25oC were applied to 1 g of mercury, by how many degrees would its temperature be raised? (c) If a certain amount of heat is used to raise the temperature of 1.6 g of iron by 10oC, the temperature of 1 g of which element would also be raised by 10oC, using the same amount of heat?arrow_forward1-85 In Japan, high-speed “bullet trains” move with an average speed of 220. km./h. If Dallas and Los Angeles were connected by such a train, how long would it take to travel nonstop between these cities (a distance of 1490. miles)?arrow_forwardThe average micro-nano plastic concentration in bottled water was about 2.4×10^5 particles per liter of bottled water, about 90% of which were nano-sized particles. Assuming that each nanoparticle can be approximated as a sphere with a diameter of 100 nm and that the average density of nanoparticles is 1.2 g/cm^3, estimate the mass of nanoparticles ingested if someone drinks all of their recommended 64 fluid ounces of water per day via bottled water every day for a year. Provide your answer is units of nanograms (ng).arrow_forward

The BSA of a patient measuring 5 ft and 1 inch in height and weighing 95 lbs is ____ m^2, and total quantity administered over the 2-week period is ____ g.arrow_forwardIn calibrating a 50 mL buret, a student found that 50 mL of water measured from the buret at 23 celsius weighed 49.5962 grams. If 1.000 gram of water occupies 1.0035 mL at this temperature, what is the actual volume of water delivered by the buret based on this single measurement?arrow_forward
- The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08% (v/v of blood). If a 70 kg person consumes two drinks that were made by adding 30. mL of vodka to a can of Coke, would the person at that moment be considered above the legal limit? (A 70 kg person has a total of about 5 L of blood.)arrow_forwardWhat is the volume, in cubic centimeters (cm^3) of 1.00 kilograms of gold?arrow_forwardA sample of nitrogen gas, N2, travels 17.0 cm in 4.5 minutes.

- Heparin is available in a 10 mL vial containing 2500 units/mL. A heparin infusion is prepared by adding 7.5 mL of the heparin stock solution to a final volume of 500 mL of Dextrose 5% in Water. What is the infusion rate (mL/hour) required to deliver a dose of 18 units/kg/hour to a patient who is 6’0” tall and weighs 154 lbs?arrow_forwardThe SI unit for energy is the joule (J), which is equal to the kineticenergy possessed by a 2.00-kg mass moving at 1.00 m/s.
