24. The dose of AUGMENTIN oral suspension for a patient is 5 mL b.i.d. Each
5 mL of suspension contains 400 mg of amoxicillin and 57 mg of clavulanic acid.
If the suspension is to be taken for 10 days and is available in 50-mL, 75-mL, and
100-mL containers, calculate (a) the least wasteful package size to dispense and
(b) total quantity of amoxicillin taken during the treatment period.

Over the last 200 years, scientists have increased
their knowledge of how to use chemicals to create
medicines. Which of the following are benefits of this
advancement?
Greenwashing is a major problem. Companies will say they are using practices that benefit the environment while really not taking any steps to do so. An example is Terracycle - a company that is supposedly able to recycle non-recyclable plastics and by-products - but which went over a year without collecting products from any of their customers. How can consumers navigate the labels to determine if products are actually sustainable.

In 1903, she shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with H. Becquerel and her husband Pierre for their discovery of radioactivity. (In 1911 she received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of two new chemical elements, radium and polonium, the latter named for her homeland, Poland.) They and others observed that a radioactive substance could emit three types of radiation: alpha (), beta (), and gamma (). If the radiation from a radioactive source is passed between electrically charged plates, some particles are attached to the positive plate, some to the negative plate, and others feel no attraction. Which particles are positively charged, which are negatively charged, and which have no charge? Of the two charged particles, which has the most mass? Radioactivity. Alpha (), beta I(), and gamma () rays from a radioactive element are separated by passing them between electrically charged plates.arrow_forward
