Chapter 1, Problem 18P
The virus called HIV causes AIDS, a devastating and often deadly disease. Several drugs are available to treat HIV infection, but all are expensive. Used separately and in combination, these drugs have resulted in a huge drop in AIDS deaths, An expensive new drug shows promise for treating HIV/AIDS patients, especially in preventing passage of the HIV virus from a pregnant woman to her fetus. What is the DQ for administering this drug to (a) a man who thinks he may be infected with HIV, (b) a pregnant woman who is HIV positive, and (C) an unborn child whose mother has AIDS?

The dishwasher broke down. You want to use chlorine bleach solution to sanitize you’re dishes at home. The label specifies to to add 10 mL of bleach to 3.8 L of water to create an affective sanitizing solution. If you’re sunk dimensions are 43 cm wide, 76 cm long and 26 cm deep, and you want to fill the sink one- quarter full with sanitizer solution, approximately how much bleach should you add to the solution?
Dimensional Analysis is a way of doing numerical "book-keeping"
when converting quantities or performing calculations.
• When converting quantities from one unit to another,
conversion factors are used.
Solving with Dimensional Analysis and Multiple Units:
If I am in Canada where the price of gas is $1.022 USD·L1, how
much will it cost me to fill up my gas tank if I travelled 125 km?
• Let's also assume that my car gets
an average of 30.0 miles/gallon.

- Potassium sulfate has a solubility of 15 g/ 100 g water at 40C. A solution is prepared by adding 39.0 g of potassium sulfate to 225 g of water, carefully heating the solution, and cooling it to 40C. A homogeneous solution is obtained. Is this solution saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated? The beaker is shaken, and precipitation occurs. How many grams of potassium sulfate would you expect to crystallize out?arrow_forwardWhich of the following represent physical properties or changes, and which represent chemical properties or changes?

- 1-12 The life expectancy of a citizen in the United States is 76 years. Eighty years ago it was 56 years. In your opinion, what was the major contributor to this spectacular increase in life expectancy? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardSome scientists think there are living things smaller than bacteria (New York Times, January 18, 2000, p. D1). Called nanobes, they are roughly cylindrical and range from 20 to 150 nm long and about 10 nm in diameter. One approach to determining whether nanobes are living is to estimate how many atoms and molecules could make up a nanobe. If the number is too small, then there would not be enough DNA, protein, and other biological molecules to carry out life processes. To test this method, estimate an upper limit for the number of atoms that could be in a nanobe. (Use a small atom, such as hydrogen.) Also estimate how many protein molecules could fit inside a nanobe. Do your estimates rule out the possibility that a nanobe could be living? Explain why or why not.arrow_forwardSuppose someone emptied ball bearings into a container of salt. Could you separate the ball bearings from the salt? How?

- This year, like many past years, you begin to feel very sleepy alter eating a large helping of Thanksgiving turkey. Some people attribute this sleepiness to the presence of the amino acid tryptophan in turkey. Tryptophan can be used by the body to produce serotonin, which can calm the brains activity and help to bring on sleep. a. What mass in grams of tryptophan is in a 0.25-lb serving of turkey? (Assume tryptophan accounts for 1.0% of the turkey mass.) b. What mass in grams of tryptophan is in 0.25 quart of milk? (Assume tryptophan accounts for 2.0% of milk by mass and that the density of milk is 1.04 kg/L.)arrow_forwardAn American tourist in Mexico was startled to see 259 on a menu as the price for a meal. However, that dollar sign refers to Mexican pesos, which on that day had an average rate of 13 pesos per American dollar.

- 1) A student measures 7.45 cm³ of chloroform using a glass syringe. Given that the density of chloroform is 1.48 g/mL, and the molar mass is 119.38 g/mol, how many moles of chloroform did the student measure?arrow_forward4. Gasoline can be reasonably approximated as C9H20 with a density of 0.718 g/mL. Diesel can be reasonable approximated as C14H30 with a density of 0.763 g/mL. (Both gasoline and diesel are complicated mixtures. These formulas are something like weighted averages of the formulas of the different components, where the weighting is based on various quantifiable behaviors. That is, using these artificial formulas for gasoline and diesel allows one to calculate average properties that match what petroleum engineers might measure.) The enthalpy change from burning one mole of gasoline is -6160 kJ. The enthalpy change from burning one mole of diesel is -7940 kJ. Determine which fuel generates the biggest enthalpy change per gram burned, and which generates the biggest enthalpy change per mL burned.arrow_forwarda) A swimming pool is 50.0 m long and 25.0 m wide, and it has an average depth of 7.00 ft.
