The recommended single dose for acetaminophen is 10.0 to 15.0 mg/kg of body weight for adults. Using this guideline, calculate the maximum single dosage for a person who weighs 153 lb .

1.041g is the maximum sigle dose for the person

Explanation:

The maximum dose for acetaminophen is 15.0mg / kg of body weight for adults

To find the maximum single dosage for a person who weighs 153lb we must convert the lb to kg (1lb = 0.4536kg):

153lb * (0.4536kg / 1lb) = 69.4kg is the mass of the person

As the maximum dose is 15.0mg / kg, the dose of the person is:

69.4kg * (15.0mg acetaminophen / kg) =

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
