Look around your house or work for a medicine requiring dosage instructions.
Discuss the medicine’s name, use, concentration, or dosage.
Include a picture of the active ingredient in the drug.
Derive and solve a dosage problem based on the medicine that you choose.

For example, your physician ordered 2.4 g of folic acid. Folic acid is available at 800 mg per tablet. How many tablets should be taken?
Substitute your medicine to create your own problem and then solve it.
Make sure to show your work.

Lastly, create a dosage problem for a classmate to solve.  Do not solve it yourself.
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

Find 5 foods you eat regularly and determine the kilocalorie content according to the number of servings you eat at a time.
Use this information to calculate the calories and joules.
How do food scientists determine the number of kilocalories that are reported on food labels?
How does your body use this energy?
Explain if your body is able to use all of the energy.

Acids and bases can be found in many places, including the kitchen. Acids like lemon juice can make foods taste sour. Basic or alkaline foods such as peas or almonds may have more of a bland taste.  As we’ve learned this week, an acid donates a proton, and a base will accept a proton.
Choose three foods that you can find in your kitchen.
Describe how the food tastes, smells, and looks.
Using this week’s resource, what is the pH of the food you’ve consumed, and how do they contribute to the acidity or alkalinity of the body? Specifically, discuss an organ or system in the body. You should include outside resources and cite them according to APA.
Are there specific conditions that might benefit from consuming more acidic foods or alkaline foods?
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

Compare (similarities) and contrast (differences) ionic and covalent bonding.
Make sure to discuss the valence electrons and electronegativity of the atoms involved.
Give an example of a molecule formed with each type of bonding. In your example, give the chemical formula and the IUPAC name of each molecule.
Finally, list 1 additional ionic and 1 additional covalent molecule, but don’t indicate which is ionic and which is covalent.
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

Look around your house for an ionic compound. 
Around my house, I found NaHCO3 as my ionic compound.
Look around your work (or the internet) for an ionic compound in the medical field.
An ionic compound found in the medical field is NaOH.
Discuss each ionic compound, including the name and formula, and how it is used at home and in the medical field.
NaHCO3 is baking soda is used for baking or cleaning around the house.
NaOH is sodium hydroxide and is used to make different medicines.
Finally, list one additional ionic compound. Don’t name the compound, just list its molecular formula.
KBr

Look around your house for an ionic compound. 

Around my house, I found KOH as my ionic compound.

Look around your work (or the internet) for an ionic compound in the medical field.

I found MgSO4 as my ionic compound.

Discuss each ionic compound, including the name and formula, and how it is used at home and in the medical field.

KOH is known as potassium hydroxide.  It is used for cleaning. You can clean drains, ovens, etc. It is found in soaps and detergents.
MgSO4 is known as magnesium sulfate.  In the medical field, it is an IV solution or used as a medication for certain conditions.

Make sure to discuss how the cation and anion were formed.

K is in group 1 so it forms K+ when it loses an electron.
O is in group 16.
H is in group 1.
Mg is group 2 so it forms Mg2+ when it loses electrons.
S is in group 16.

Finally, list one additional ionic compound. Don’t name the compound, just list its molecular formula.

AgNO3
