A children’s pain relief elixir contains 10.6 cg acetaminophen per 1 teaspoon. The dosage recommended for a child who weighs 34 lbs, is 1.5 teaspoons. What is the dosage of acetaminophen, expressed as mg acetaminophen/kg body weight, for a child weighing 34 lbs?(1 kg=2.205 lbs)

Dosage of acetaminophen = 15.9 cg acetaminophen

Explanation:

Given:

1 teaspoon = 10.6 cg acetaminophen

Dosage to 34 lbs child = 34 lbs

Given dose = 1.5 teaspoon

Find:

Dosage of acetaminophen

Computation:

⇒ Dosage of acetaminophen = 1.5 teaspoon × [10.6 cg acetaminophen]

Dosage of acetaminophen = 15.9 cg acetaminophen

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
