- You are to give ampicillin, with a recommended dose of 45 mg/kg, to a child with a mass of 24 kg. If stock on hand is 250 mg/capsule, how many capsules should be given? Express the number of capsules as an integer.arrow_forwardWhat is the volume, in cubic centimeters (cm^3) of 1.00 kilograms of gold?arrow_forwardBacteria vary somewhat in size, but a diameter of 2.0 micrometers is not unusual. What would the volume (in cubic centimeters) and surface are (in square millimeters) of such a bacterium, assuming that it is spherical?arrow_forward
- The density of ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) is 1114 kg/m3. How much mass (in kilograms) of this substance is contained in a can (cylinder) of diameter 15 cm and height 25 cm? (The volume of a cylinder is).arrow_forwardIn the old pharmaceutical system of measurements, masses were expressed in grains. There are 5.760 x 103 grains in one pound. An old bottle of aspirin lists 5 grains of active ingredients per tablet. How many milligrams of active ingredient are there in the same tablet?arrow_forwardIn the area of nano-chemistry, particles defined as nanoparticles range in size from 1-2500 nm. 1 nm is equivalent to 1 × 10–9 m. If the size of the particles that make up a particular material is 1.23 × 10–8 cm, what is this size in nanometers?arrow_forward
- Suppose a room is 18 m long, 15 m wide, and the distance from floor to ceiling is 2.9 m. What is the room’s volume in cubic meters? In cubic centimeters? In liters?arrow_forwardThe radius of an atom is on the order of1010 m. What is this radius in centimeters? In inches? In nanometers?arrow_forwardYou receive a mixture of table salt and sand and have to separate the mixture into pure substances. Explain how you would carry out this task. Is your method based on physical or chemical properties? Explain.arrow_forward
- Although the preferred SI unit of area is the square meter, land is often measured in the metric system in hectares (ha). One hectare is equal to 10,000 m2. In the English system, land is often measured in acres (1 acre = 160 rod2). Use the exact conversions and those given in Exercise 47 to calculate the following. a. 1 ha = __________ km2 b. The area of a 5.5-acre plot of land in hectares, square meters, and square kilometers c. A lot with dimensions 120 ft by 75 ft is to be sold for 6500. What is the price per acre? What is the price per hectare?arrow_forwardA solution is prepared by dissolving table salt, sodium chloride, in water at room temperature. a Assuming there is no significant change in the volume of water during the preparation of the solution, how would the density of the solution compare to that of pure water? b If you were to boil the solution for several minutes and then allow it to cool to room temperature, how would the density of the solution compare to the density in part a? c If you took the solution prepared in part a and added more water, how would this affect the density of the solution?arrow_forwardOn October 21, 1982, the Bureau of the Mint changed the composition of pennies (see Exercise 120). Instead of an alloy of 95% Cu and 5% Zn by mass, a core of 99.2% Zn and 0.8% Cu with a thin shell of copper was adopted. The overall composition of the new penny was 97.6% Zn and 2.4% Cu by mass. Does this account for the difference in mass among die pennies in Exercise 120? Assume the volume of the individual metals that make up each penny can be added together to give the overall volume of the penny, and assume each penny is the same size. (Density of Cu = 8.96 g/cm3; density of Zn = 7.14 g/cm3).arrow_forward
