A patient is to receive 10 mEq of potassium gluconate (MW = 234) four times a day for 3 days. If the dose is to be a teaspoonful of syrup vehicle. How many grams of potassium gluconate should be used and what volume in mL should be dispensed to provide the prescribed dosage regimen?
Many common materials that we ingest, though quite safe in reasonable quantities, become toxic when taken in very large doses. A measure of toxicity is the LD50 value (Lethal Dose, 50%). It is the quantity of material, expressed in mg of material per kg of subject-body-weight that, if administered to a population of subjects, would cause 50% of the population to die. The LD50 value for FD&C Red Dye No. 40 is >10,000 mg/kg in rats. Assume that the LD50 value for humans is the same as for rats.
Calculate the number of mg of Allura Red present in an 8 fluid ounce glass of the beverage you used in this lab. Assume that the concentration of Allura Red in the beverage is 0.000054 M.
The molar mass of Allura Red is 496.42 grams/mol
1 fl oz = 29.5735 mL

Calculate the number of mg of Allura Red present in an 9 fluid ounce glass of the beverage you used in this lab and use this calculation to determine the number of such glasses of Allura Red sports drink required to reach the LD50 of 10,000 mg of Allura Red/kg body weight. Assume that the concentration of Allura Red in the beverage is 0.000038 M and the person has a body weight of 175 lbs.

How much chlorine needs to be added in order for the pool to meet the health regulation standard of 0.00305%? First draw a flowchart, then given that the pool consists of fresh water and chlorine, write the total mass (or alternatively chlorine mass) and fresh water balance equations, and then calculate the mass of chlorine in grams that needs to be added to the pool. Assume that the density of the pool water is the same as that of fresh water (1.00 kg/L), the pool is filled to its rated capacity (1.80×104 L), and that the required chlorine can be added to this capacity.arrow_forwardA construction team gives an estimate of three months to repave a large stretch of a very busy road with their core crew of 9 people. The government responds that it is too much of an inconvenience to have this busy road obstructed for three months, so the job must be completed in one month. If the relationship between construction time and crew members is inversely proportional, how many crew members does the construction team need if they are to complete the job in one month? Express your answer as an integer.arrow_forward
- The mass of an iron nail is measured before and after being placed in a beaker of water for 2 days. It is found that 0.059 g of iron (3) oxide (rust) was produced over the 2-day period. What mass of iron in the nail reacted with the water? Assume the nail is pure ironarrow_forwardSome scientists think there are living things smaller than bacteria (New York Times, January 18, 2000, p. D1). Called nanobes, they are roughly cylindrical and range from 20 to 150 nm long and about 10 nm in diameter. One approach to determining whether nanobes are living is to estimate how many atoms and molecules could make up a nanobe. If the number is too small, then there would not be enough DNA, protein, and other biological molecules to carry out life processes. To test this method, estimate an upper limit for the number of atoms that could be in a nanobe. (Use a small atom, such as hydrogen.) Also estimate how many protein molecules could fit inside a nanobe. Do your estimates rule out the possibility that a nanobe could be living? Explain why or why not.arrow_forwardWhat is meant by the phrase sustainable development?arrow_forward

- The toxicity of a compound is often reported as the LD50, which is the lethal dose for 50% of a population. The LD50is typically measured using mice and is reported in units of milligrams of the compound per kilogram of the body mass of the population. The LD50(mice) for caffeine is 192 mg/kg, and for nicotine it is 0.75mg/kg. Assuming the LD50for humans is similar to that measured for mice (or that you have a mouse the size of an average adult weighing 154 lb), determine the number of grams of caffeine and nicotine that would be lethal to 50% of the human (giant mouse)arrow_forwardConvert and use sig figs 254.3g to kgarrow_forwardPrepare a graph with the mass as abscissa and the volume as the ordinate.
