- A patient is prescribed Tiguan capsules for vomiting. The drug is available in the form of 3.0 x 10 ^2 mg Tigan/capsule and is to be administered in 4.0 doses/day. 1 dose is equal to 1 capsule. How many grams of tigan does the patient receive in 2.0 days ? Show your workarrow_forwardThe accepted value of the melting point of aspirin is 135°C. Trying to verify that value, you obtain 134°C, 136°C, 133°C, and 138°C in four separate trials. Your partner finds 138°C, 137°C, 138°C, and 138°C. A) Calculate the average value for you and your partner. B) Calculate the error for each value for you and your partner. C) Calculate the percent error for each value for you and your partner.arrow_forwardUsing conversion factors solve each of the following clinical problems a) The physician has order 1.0g of tetracycline to be given every six hours to a patient. If each pill contains 500mg tablets, how many would you need for a day’s treatment? b) an intramuscular medication is given at 5.00mg/Kg of body weight. What is the does if the patient weights 180lb c) a physician has order 0.50mg of atropine, intramuscularly. If atropine is available as 0.1mg/mL of solution, how many Ml would you need to give?arrow_forward

- 44. Convert 355 kJ to mJ. Express your answer using 3 significant figures. 355 kJ = Answer mJarrow_forwardProfessor Gomez's dogJasper, is a very anxious little guy, so she baked him some treats that contain melatonin to help calm him down. The treats are quite small, and each one contains 150 of melatonin Jasper's veterinarian recommended he take milligrams of melatonin per of body weight per day Jasper weighs exactly 15 lbs. How many of the melatonin containing treats is he allowed to have in one day? Note : 2.20 lb=1 logarrow_forwardQuestion 1 1. Explain how the following experimental errors affect the final calculation of the kilocalories per gram for a food item. Be specific as to whether the final value will be higher or lower than if the error had not been made. a. The student misread the scale and recorded 110.3 g for the final mass of the soda can plus water instead of 101.3 g. b. Part of the unburned marshmallow fell off before the final mass was determined. c. The food would not keep burning and had to be relit several times. d. The thermometer got stuck in the aluminum foil while the food was burning and the final temperature was made with the thermometer in the air above the water and not in the water.arrow_forward
- Two students measured the freezing point of a sample of pure benzene. Student A used an ordinary laboratory thermometer calibrated in 0.1 ℃ units. Student B used a thermometer certified by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and calibrated in 0.01 °C units. Their results were as follows: Student A: 52 °C, 5.7 °C, 5.5 °C, 5.2 °C Student B: 5.48 °C, 5.52 °C, 5.50 °C, 5.54 °C Calculate the average value for A and B and, knowing the freezing point of benzene is 5.50 °C (and using kelvins for temperature), calculate the percent error for each student. Which student has the smaller error?arrow_forwardPart B: Place the following household units in order from smallest to largest. 30 teaspoons 12 tablespoons 3 cups 19 ounces 1 pint 3 quartsarrow_forwardExpress each of the following products as a power of 10: (a) 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 (b) 1/10 × 1/10 × 1/10 × 1/10arrow_forward
