A pediatric patient with a body mass of 75.0 lb is prescribed Propranolol for arrhythmia. The recommended dose is 3.0 mg per kg per day, given in divided doses every 6.00 hours. How many mg of Propranolol should be given for each dose? With the correct amount of Sig Figs.

1-86 The specific heats of some elements at 25oC are as follows: aluminum = 0.215 cal/g · oC; carbon (graphite) = 0.170 caI/g oC; iron = 0.107 cal/g mercury = 0.033 1 caI/g oC. (a) Which element would require the smallest amount of heat to raise the temperature of 100 g of the element by 10oC? (b) If the same amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of aluminum by 25oC were applied to 1 g of mercury, by how many degrees would its temperature be raised? (c) If a certain amount of heat is used to raise the temperature of 1.6 g of iron by 10oC, the temperature of 1 g of which element would also be raised by 10oC, using the same amount of heat?

Classify each pure substance represented below by a capital letter as an element or a compound. Indicate when such a classification cannot be made, and explain why. a. Two elements when mixed combine to form only substance L. b. An element and a compound when mixed form substances M and Q. c. Substance X is not changed by heating.

aIs the process of boiling water exothermic or endothermic with respect to the water? bA charged object is moved closer to another object that has the same charge. The energy of the system changes. Is it a change in kinetic energy or potential energy? Is the energy changes an increase or a decrease?

The photograph below shows a beaker of water and a sugar cube, the combined mass of which is balanced by the weights on the right pan. The sugar cube is then placed in the water, and it dissolves completely. Do weights need to be added to or taken away from the right pan to keep the system in balance? Explain.

A particulate-level illustration of the reaction AB+CDAD+CB is shown below. a Identify the reactants and products in this reaction. b Is the change shown chemical or physical? c Is the mass of the product particles less than, equal to, or greater than the mass of the reactant particles? d If the reaction takes place in a container that allows no energy to enter or leave, how does the total energy in the container after the reaction compare with the total energy in the container before the reaction?

During a recent winter month in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, it was necessary to obtain 3500 kWh of heat provided by a natural gas furnace with 89% efficiency to keep a small house warm (the efficiency of a gas furnace is the percent of the heat produced by combustion that is transferred into the house). (a) Assume that natural gas is pure methane and determine the volume of natural gas in cubic feet that was required to heat the house. The average temperature of the natural gas was 56 F; at this temperature and a pressure of 1 atm, natural gas has a density of 0.68 1 g/L. (b) How many gallons of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) would be required to replace the natural gas used? Assume the LPG is liquid propane [ C3H8 : density, 0.5318 g/mL; enthalpy of combustion, 2219 Id/mo for the formation of CO2(g) and H2O(l) ] and the furnace used to burn the LPG has the same efficiency as the gas furnace. (c) What mass of carbon dioxide is produced by combustion of the methane used to heat the house? (d) What mass of water is produced by combustion of the methane used to heat the house? (e) What volume of air is required to provide the oxygen for the combustion of the methane used to heat the house? Air contains 23% oxygen by mass. The average density of air during the month was 1.22 g/L. (f) How many kilowatt—hours ( 1kWh=3.6106 J) of electricity would be required to provide the heat necessary to heat the house? Note electricity is 100% efficient in producing heat inside a house. (g) Although electricity is 100% efficient in producing heat inside a house, production and distribution of electricity is not 100% efficient. The efficiency of production and distribution of electricity produced in a coal-fired power plant is about 40%. A certain type of coal provides 2.26 kWh per pound upon combustion. What mass of this coal in kilograms will be required to produce the electrical energy necessary to heat the house if the efficiency of generation and distribution is 40%?

Use molecular-level drawings to show the difference between physical and chemical changes.

Methane, CH4, is a major component of marsh gas. When 0.5000 mol methane burns to produce carbon dioxide and liquid water, 445.1 kJ of heat is released. What is this heat in kilocalories?

A 45-g aluminum spoon (specific heat 0.88 J/g C) at 24 C is placed in 180 mL (180 g) of coffee at 85 C and the temperature of the two become equal. (a) What is the final temperature when the two become equal? Assume that coffee has the same specific heat as water. (b) The first time a student solved this problem she got an answer of 88 C. Explain why this is clearly an incorrect answer.
