The pharmacy receives a prescription for 50 grams of 5% salicylic acid ointment. the pharmacy has a 30% salicylic acid ointment

and petrolatum available. using only these products, how much petrolatum should be used to compound the prescription? express the answer in grams. (answer must be numeric; no units or commas; include leading zero when answer is less than 1; round the final answer to the nearest one decimal place.)

In this problem, we can formulate two equations.

First, the overall mass balance of the ointment. The mass of 30% salicylic acid ointment plus the mass of petrolatum must be 50 grams.

x + p = 50

Where x is the mass of 30% salicylic acid ointment and p is the mass of petrolatum

Second, the component mass balance of salicylic acid:

0.3 * x = 50 * 0.05

x = 8.33 g

Therefore the mass of petrolatum to be used is:

x + p = 50

p = 50 – x

p = 50 – 8.33

p = 41.67 g

 

Answer:

41.7

Assuming ideal solution behavior, what is the freezing point of a solution of 9.04 g of I2 in 75.5 g of benzene?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

3.1°C

Explanation:

Using freezing point depression expression:

ΔT = Kf×m×i

<em>Where ΔT is change in freezing point, Kf is freezing point depression constant (5.12°c×m⁻¹), m is molality of the solution and i is Van't Hoff factor constant (1 For I₂ because doesn't dissociate in benzene).</em>

Molality of 9.04g I₂ (Molar mass: 253.8g/mol) in 75.5g of benzene (0.0755kg) is:

9.04g ₓ (1mol / 253.8g) = 0.0356mol I₂ / 0.0755kg = 0.472m

Replacing in freezing point depression formula:

ΔT = 5.12°cm⁻¹×0.472m×1

ΔT = 2.4°C

As freezing point of benzene is 5.5°C, the new freezing point of the solution is:

5.5°C - 2.4°C =

<h3>3.1°C</h3>

How are exothermic and endothermic reactions linked in the process of refining metal ore?
Alex777 [14]
The intended sense is that of a reaction that depends on absorbing heat if it is to proceed. The opposite of an endothermic process is an exothermic process, one that releases "gives out" energy in the form of heat

After passing through pyruvate dehydrogenase and the citric acid cycle, one mole of pyruvate will result in the formation of ___
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The answer to be filled in the respective blanks in question is

3 and 1

Explanation:

So, we know that the formation of cabon-dioxide mole and that of Adenosin-Tri-Phosphate (ATP) moles will be in the ratio of 3:1 i.e., three carbon-di-oxide moles and 1 ATP mole.

Therefore, we can say that one pyruvate mole when passed through citric acid cycle and pyruvate dehydrogenase yields carbon-di-oxide and ATP moles in the ratio 3:1

Hydrogen, a potential future fuel, can be produced from carbon (from coal) and steam by the following reaction: C(s)+2H2O(g)→2H2
madam [21]

The question is incomplete , complete question is:

Hydrogen, a potential future fuel, can be produced from carbon (from coal) and steam by the following reaction:

C(s)+ 2 H_2O(g)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+CO_2(g).\Delta H=?

Note that the average bond energy for the breaking of a bond in CO2 is 799 kJ/mol. Use average bond energies to calculate ΔH of reaction for this reaction.

Answer:

The ΔH of the reaction is -626 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

C(s)+ 2 H_2O(g)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+CO_2(g).\Delta H=?

We are given with:

\Delta H_{H-O}=459 kJ/mol

\Delta H_{H-H}=432 kJ/mol

\Delta H_{C=O}=799 kJ/mol

ΔH =  (Energies required to break bonds on reactant side) - (Energies released on formation of bonds on product side)

\Delta H=(4\times \Delta H_{O-H})-(2\times \Delta H_{H-H}+2\times\Delta H_{C=O})

=(4\times 459 kJ/mol)-(2\times 432 kJ/mol+2\times 799 kJ/mol

\Delta H=-626 kJ/mol

The ΔH of the reaction is -626 kJ/mol.
