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.

The solubility of potassium chromate is 65.7 g per 100 g of water. In an experiment , a student had 762 mL of water available. What mass of potassium chromate, in grams, could be dissolved in that water?
During their lifetime, a person will consume approximately 1.2 × 104 gallons of water. An Olympic-size swimming pool, which has a volume of 2.5 million liters (L), can provide a lifetime of water for how many people? Recall that 1 gallon (gal) = 3.785 × 10-3 m3, and 1 mL = 10-6 m3
At 25.0 ºC the density of dichloromethane is 1.325 x 103 kg / m3. If 10.0g of dichloromethane at 25.0ºC can completely fill a container, what is the maximum mass of water, in grams, that can be added to the same container at 25.0°C?
Blood alcohol content is a measure of alcohol in the blood as a percentage. It is calculated in grams per 100 mL of blood, so a BAC of 0.08 means your blood is 0.08% alcohol by volume. what is the total mass of alcohol (in grams) that is present for the same adult male whose total blood volume is 5.6L?
Liquid Tylenol has 325 milligrams of acetaminophen per 12.5 milliliters of liquid medicine (a fact that would be commonly abbreviated as 325 mg/ 12.5 ml). It means that if you could pour Liquid Tylenol into a 12.5 milliliter cup and separate all of the ingredients, you would find that it contains 325 milligrams of acetaminophen (the active ingredient that relieves pain) along with some inactive ingredients like flavorings. The doctor orders 260 milligrams of acetaminophen for a patient. If the patient takes the medicine in the form of Liquid Tylenol, how many milliliters of Liquid Tylenol would he need to take to get the prescribed amount of acetaminophen?
The speed of light is (2.998e8m/s) How far does light travel in 4.0μs? Set the math up. But don't do any of it. Just leave your answer as a math expression. Also, be sure your answer includes all the correct unit symbols.
The recommended single dose for acetaminophen is 10.0 10.0 to 15.0 mg/kg 15.0 mg/kg of body weight for adults. Using this guideline, calculate the maximum single dosage for a person who weighs 195 lb.
In 1999, scientists discovered a new class of black holes with masses 100 to 10,000 times the mass of our sun, but occupying less space than our moon. Suppose that one of these black holes has a mass of 8×103 suns and a radius equal to one-half the radius of our moon. What is its density in grams per cubic centimeter? The mass of the sun is 2.0×1030kg and the radius of the moon is 2.16×103mi. (Volume of a sphere =43πr3.)
One gallon of gasoline in an automobile's engine produces on average 9.50 kg of carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas; that is, it promotes the warming of Earth's atmosphere. Calculate the annual production of carbon dioxide in kilograms if there are exactly 40.0 million cars in the United States and each car covers a distance of 7210 mi at a consumption rate of 18.6 miles per gallon. Enter your answer in scientific notation.
In 1999, scientists discovered a new class of black holes with masses 100 to 10,000 times the mass of our sun, but occupying less space than our moon. Suppose that one of these black holes has a mass of 1×10^3 suns and a radius equal to one-half the radius of our moon. What is its density in grams per cubic centimeter? The mass of the sun is 2.0×10^30 kg and the radius of the moon is 2.16×10^3 mi (Volume of a sphere =4/3πr^3)
A student is asked to make up a 16% sodium chloride solution. She makes the solution by weighing an empty beaker (which has a mass of 98.5g). Sodium chloride is added to the beaker. The mass of the beaker and sodium chloride is 114.71 g. Lastly, the student added 84 mL of distilled water to the beaker. Reweighing the beaker she finds that the mass of the beaker, sodium chloride, ad distilled water is 196.14 g. What is the weight percentage of sodium chloride in this solution? Show all work.
the mass of fuel in an airplane must be determined before takeoff. A jet contains 11505L of fuel after it has been filled with fuel. What is the mass of the fuel in kilograms if the fuels density is 0.765 g/cm^3?
