Children’s chewable tylenol contains 80 mg of acetaminophen per tablet. if the recommended dosage is 10 mg/kg, how many tablets are needed for a 53−lb child?

3 tablets are needed for a 53-lb child

Explanation:

1 lb = 0.4536 kg

So, 53 lb =

So, weight of the child is 24 kg

For 1 kg body, recommended dosage is 10 mg

Hence, for 24 kg body, recommended dosage is or 240 mg

80 mg of acetaminophen is present in 1 tablet

So, 240 mg acetaminophen is present in tablets or 3 tablets.

So, 3 tablets are needed for a 53-lb child

answer: - 3.) the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

solution: - as per the rules, oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2. the sum of oxidation numbers of all the elements of a molecule or compound is zero.

also, the oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

in no, the oxidation number of o is -2 so the oxidation number of n is +2 so that the sum is zero.

similarly, the oxidation number of c in co is +2 and o is -2.

on product side the oxidation number of n is 0 as it is in the elemental form() .

oxidation number of c in carbon dioxide is +4 as there are two oxygen in it and we know that each oxygen is -2.

so, oxidation number of n is changing from +2 to 0 and the oxidation number of c is changing from +2 to +4.

since nitrogen is reduced and hence no is acting as an oxidizing agent. carbon is oxidized and so co is acting as a reducing agent.

so, the right choice is number 3.)the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.
