Question

a. Identify the functional groups in dicyclanil.

b. The recommended application for dicyclanil for an adult sheep is 65 mg / kg of body mass. If dicyclanil is supplied in a spray with a concentration of 50.mg/mL, how many milliliters of the spray are required to treat a 70.-kg adult sheep?

Short answer

part a) With the amine functional group as its functional group, dicyclanil is a powerful insect growth regulator.

part b) To treat a 70 kg adult sheep, you'll need -91 millilitres of spray.

Step-by-step solution

Step - 1  Introduction (part a) 

• Carboxylic acids are weak acids that neutralize bases by producing hydronium ions in water.
• The carbon atom of a carbonyl group is bonded to a hydroxyl group to generate a carboxyl group in carboxylic acids.
• An alkyl or aromatic group might bind to the carboxyl functional group.

Step - 2  Given information (part- a)

Dicyclanil is a strong insect growth regulator with the amine functional group as its functional group.

Step - 3  Explanation (part-a)

Step - 4 Given information (part-b)

• Dicyclanil is indicated for adult sheep at a rate of 65 mg / kg.
• The amount of spray needed to treat a 70.kg mature sheep is :

Step - 5 Explanation (part-b)

• Adult sheep require 70.kg. 4,550 mg (70 $\times$65) dicyclanil costs.
• The dicyclanil concentration in supplied sprays is 50.mg / ml
• 1 ml has 50.mg of dicyclanil in it.

$1\mathrm{ml}-50.\mathrm{mg}$

$?-4550mg$

$=4550\mathrm{mg}/50\mathrm{mg}$

$=91\text{milliliters.}$

• So you'll need -91 millilitres of spray to treat a 70.kg adult sheep.
