9. Body surface area (BSA) is often used in place of body weight when determining medication dosages, since it serves as a better indicator of a patient's metabolic mass. BSA can be calculated in the following way, and gives an answer in units of meters squared (m²): (body mass in kg) × (height in cm) BSA = (gives units of m²) 3600 Calculate the BSA for a pediatric patient who is 25 pounds and 18 inches tall.

A student drinks a 16 oz bottle of Diet Cola. The student's stomach warms the soft drink from 2 °C to 37 °C, how many kcals were required. (16 fluid oz = 472 mL, assume the density of Diet Cola is equal to the density of water.
A student wants to determine the density of a metal object. They weigh it and find that its mass is 83.8 grams. They then place it in a graduated cylinder containing 20.0 mL of water, and observe that the water rises to a level of 23 mL. What is the density of the object in g/mL?
What is the Volume of 9.86 x 10^-2 pounds 7.90 g/mL steal ( hint use the determined density of steal to convert this mass to volume) (1lb=453.6g)
The density of a certain metal is (6.60x10^0) g/cm3. What is the mass in grams of a sample of this metal that has a volume of (8.460x10^-2) m3? Enter your answer in scientific notation with 3 sig figs. Do not include any units in your answer. Do not round any intermediate calculations. Note: Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible. Your Answer:
In the movie The Italian Job, thieves steal gold bullion. One plan is to carry the ingots of gold off in suitcases. If each suitcase were about 19 inches X 14 inches X 10 inches the volume would be 4.36x104cm3. Approximately, how much would each suitcase weigh, in pounds, when filled with gold? The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3and 1 pound = 453.59g . Assume the weight of the suitcase is negligible.
The mass of one atom or molecule of a substance is given in atomic mass units, also called Daltons (abbreviated D or Da). Thus one molecule of water has a mass of 18.015 atomic mass units, or 18.015 Daltons. The atomic mass unit is defined such that one mole of water weighs 18.015 g. Suppose a protein has a mass of 64 192 Daltons (or 64.192 kDa). What would be the mass of one mole of this protein? O A. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 3.866 x 1028 g/mol. B. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 1.0 g/mol. C. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 18.015 g/mol. D. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 64.192 g/mol. E. This question can't be answered without knowing the number of atoms in the protein. F. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 6.4192 x 10-2 g/mol. G. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 3.866 x 1025 g/mol. H. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 64 192 g/mol.

A chemist mixes two liquids, A and B, to form a homogeneous mixture. The densities of the liquids are 2.0514 g/mL for A and 2.6678 g/mL for B. When she drops a small object into the mixture, she finds that the object becomes suspended in the liquid; that is, it neither sinks nor floats. If the mixture is made of 41.37 percent A and 58.63 percent B by volume, what is the density of the metal? Group of answer choices 2.413 g/mL 1.753 g/mL 2.691 g/mL 2.015 g/mL 1.913 g/mL
