Question

The concentration of a drug in the body is often expressed in units of milligrams per kilogram of body weight. The initial dose of a drug in an animal was 26.3 mg/kg body weight. After 2.49 hours, the concentration had dropped to 15.1 mg/kg body weight. If the drug is eliminated metabolically by a first-order process, what is the rate constant for the process in units of min-1? Enter your answer in scientific notation: k = ______ × 10^ min-1

The rate at which a certain drug is eliminated by the body follows first-order kinetics, with a half life of 60 minutes_ Suppose in a particular patient the concentration of this drug in the bloodstream immediately after injection is 1.0 ug/mL. What will the concentration be 300 minutes later? Round your answer to 2 significant digits_

The following chemical reaction: A → products shows first-order kinetics with respect to A; rate = k[A]. Assume k = 8.79 x 10^-4 s^-1. If the initial concentration of A is 0.55 mol L^-1, what is the concentration of A (in mol L^-1) after 58.1 minutes? Remember: if you want to express an answer in scientific notation, use the letter "E". For example "4.32 x 10^4" should be entered as "4.32E4".
