2200 mg of antibiotic

Explanation:

Given that 40 mg of antibiotic/kg of the bodyweight is given.

If patient is 55 kg then the dose of antibiotic will be

if 40/1000000 is done then we can get antibiotic in kg/kg of the weight

= 0.00004 kg of antibiotic per kg

0.00004*55 ( to know how much 55 kg person will require)

= 0.0022 kg

This 0.0022 value will be converted to mg

0.0022*10^6

= 2200 mg of antibiotic will be given to a 55kg patient.

Consider a general reaction A ( aq ) enzyme ⇌ B ( aq ) A(aq)⇌enzymeB(aq) The Δ G ° ′ ΔG°′ of the reaction is − 5.980 kJ ⋅ mol −

Grace [21]

Answer : The value of $K_{eq}$ is, 11.2

The value of $\Delta G_{rxn}$ is -9.04 kJ/mol

Explanation :

The relation between the equilibrium constant and standard Gibbs free energy is:

$\Delta G^o=-RT\times \ln K_{eq}$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = standard Gibbs free energy = -5.980 kJ/mol = -5980 J/mol

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/K.mol

T = temperature = $25^oC=273+25=298K$

$K_{eq}$ = equilibrium constant = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-RT\times \ln K_{eq}$

$-5980J/mol=-(8.314J/K.mol)\times (298K)\times \ln K_{eq}$

$K_{eq}=11.2$

Thus, the value of $K_{eq}$ is, 11.2

Now we have to calculate the $\Delta G_{rxn}$ .

The formula used for $\Delta G_{rxn}$ is:

The given reaction is:

$A(aq)\rightleftharpoons B(aq)$

$\Delta G_{rxn}=\Delta G^o+RT\ln Q$

$\Delta G_{rxn}=\Delta G^o+RT\ln \frac{[B]}{[A]}$ ............(1)

where,

$\Delta G_{rxn}$ = Gibbs free energy for the reaction = ?

$\Delta G_^o$ = standard Gibbs free energy = -30.5 kJ/mol

R = gas constant = $8.314\times 10^{-3}kJ/mole.K$

T = temperature = $37.0^oC=273+37.0=310K$

Q = reaction quotient

[A] = concentration of A = 1.8 M

[B] = concentration of B = 0.55 M

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:

$\Delta G_{rxn}=(-5980J/mol)+[(8.314J/mole.K)\times (310K)\times \ln (\frac{0.55}{1.8})$

$\Delta G_{rxn}=-9035.75J/mol=-9.04kJ/mol$

Therefore, the value of $\Delta G_{rxn}$ is -9.04 kJ/mol

If 5.61 g of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) is dissolved in 155 mL of water to make an instant cold pack, what is the molarity of the

kifflom [539]

Answer:

0.452 M

Explanation:

Remember that to get molarity, you have to go thru an equation:

M=mol/V (in liters)

So...

5.61 g NH4NO3 x 1 mol NH4NO3/80.043 g

=0.0701 mol NH4NO3

Convert mL to L

=155--->0.155 L

Plug in and divide.

0.0701/0.155

=0.452 M
