I just started a class and dont have a book yet,
An order for medication reads: give 00.5o mL per kg of body weight. How much medication should be given to a patient weighing 161 lbs. How do i go about solving this. I have no clue. Thank you.

First you must convert lbs to kg...the conversion ratio is 2.2 lbs = 1 kg so you divide your 161 lbs by 2.2 to get your weight in kgs... then you would multiply this kg weight by the 0.05 ml/kg of body weight to get the dose you should give.

this is very easy. 161 lbs is about 0.454 Kg. So 161 x .454 = 73.09kg. therefore 0.5 ml x 73.09 = 36.547ml.

1 lb = 0.454 kg
Patient weight: 161lbs = 161lbs * 0.454kg/lb = 73.1 kg
0.5 mL/kg * 73.1 kg = 36.55 mL must be administered

C2H5OH + (9/2)O2 = 2CO2 + 3H2O from the equation, applying ratios.. while a million mol of ethanol reacts, 2 moles of carbon-dioxide is produced while 8.3 moles of ethanol reacts, x moles of carbondioxide is produced as a result.. x = (8.3*2)/a million x = sixteen.6 moles. the splendid answer is C
