A student extracted starch from a 2.5g sample of banana. The total volume of banana extract she collected was 22.5ml . The weight of the filter paper alone was 0.172g. The wet weight of the filter paper with starch was 1.158g. The dry weight of the filter paper with starch was 0.894g. What is the weight percentage of starch in the banana ?

One way to lose weight is to exercise! Walking briskly at 4.0 miles per hour for an hour consumes about 400 kcal of energy. How many hours would you have to walk at 4.0 miles per hour to lose one pound of body fat? One gram of body fat is equivalent to 7.7 kcal of energy. There are 454 g in 1 lb.
A normal fasting blood sugar level is 0.0039 – 0.0055 mol / L. For a 3.0 x 10-4 mL sample of blood, calculate the maximum mass of glucose, C6H12O6, (in grams) that corresponds to a normal result.
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.

One of the most common types of kidney stones are composed of calcium oxalate. In addition to calcium oxalate another product is also formed in the formation of kidney stones in the body. Certain foods are high in oxalate and lead to an increase of forming kidney stones in the human body. These high-risk foods are as follows: Spinach Swiss Chard Almonds (nuts in general) Sesame Seeds Soy Products (such as soy-based milk, cheese, yogurt) Sweet Potatoes Okra Beets Chocolate Black Tea Another risk factor to developing kidney stones is not drinking enough water. Males have a higher chance than females of developing kidney stones, with the average age being 30. Oxalate in food binds to calcium during digestion in the stomach and intestines and then is excreted in the body as waste. If too much oxalate appears in the urine and not enough liquid (due to not drinking enough water), then calcium oxalate crystals form, which are the kidney stone. A 35 year old male was taken to the hospital…
