(a) (6) If a patient is given a 100 mg dose at midnight, at what time should the patient take another dose such that the concentrationdoes not dip below 10 mg? (b) (4) You discover that the patient ate a grapefruit recently, which inhibits degradation of the drug, reducing the firstorder rate constant by 50%. If you want the drug to be effective for 24 hr(i.e., amount >10 mg), what dosage should you give the grapefruit-eating patient?arrow_forward
- What is the rate constant of a first-order reaction if the half-life is 5.32 min? \arrow_forward(a) In the reaction mechanisms given, there are some chemical species which will get produced in one step and get consumed in the other step and that are not in reactants nor in products of the total reaction. Such species are known as intermediates of a reaction as the name suggests. Therefore, in mechanism 1, the intermediates are (CH3)2CHOH2+, Cl-, (CH3)2CH+. and in mechanism 2: (CH3)2CHOH2+, Cl-. These ions are neither reactants nor products of the given total equation.arrow_forwardA first-order chemical reaction is observed to have a rate constant of 24 min-1.
