Your veterinarian is administering a sedative to your 50 pound dog. The sedative is mixed in saline solution. Unfortunately the solution is pre-mixed at 10% for a horse and it needs to be a 2.5% concentration to be administered at 0.7 ml per pound for your dog. How much saline water needs to be added to the current solution to reduce the concentration to 2.5% and have the correct dosage for the dog

26.25 mL

Explanation:

This is a dilution problem. First, let us calculate the volume of final solution needed:

The dog weighs 50 pounds and the sedative is administered at 0/7 ml per pound. Hence:

50 x 0.7 = 35 mL

A total volume of 35 mL, 2.5% solution of the sedative will be needed.

But 10% solution is available. There needs to be a dilution with saline water, but what volume of the 10% solution would be diluted?

initial volume = ?

final volume = 35 mL

initial concentration = 10%

final concentration = 2.5%

Using dilution equation:

initial concentration x initial volume = final concentration x final volume

initial volume =

                     = 2.5 x 35/10 = 8.75 mL

Hence, 8.75 mL of the 10% pre-mixed sedative will be required.

But 35 mL is needed? The 8.75 mL is marked up to 35 mL with saline water.

35 - 8.75 = 26.25 mL

Therefore, 26.25 mL of saline water will be added to 8.75 mL of the 10% pre-mixed sedative to give 2.5%, 35 mL needed for the dog.

chemists can use the electron cloud model to assign electrons to different atomic orbitals. atomic orbitals also explain the patterns in the periodic table

explanation:

answer: option (4) is the correct answer.

explanation:

areas which are at low altitudes and near the equator tend to receive direct sunlight from the sun. hence, heat energy or radiations from the sun make these areas warmer and they have warmest water.

whereas areas which are at high altitudes and away from the equator do no receive direct sunlight. hence, no direct contact from the sun makes these regions colder and thus, they have colder water.

thus, we can conclude that the statement areas at low latitudes near the equator have the warmest water because they receive the most direct sunlight best explains the relationship between an area's geography and the temperature of its surface water.
