2. An IV drip delivers medication at a rate of 40 drops per minute. Each drop contains 0.05 milliliters of the medication. How many milliliters of medication are delivered in one hour?

• A. 12 milliliters
• B. 24 milliliters
• C. 60 milliliters
• D. 120 milliliters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: First convert minutes to hours (1 hour * 60 minutes). Then, multiply the number of drops per minute (40 drops/minute) by the volume per drop (0.05 ml/drop) and by the conversion factor (60 minutes/hour) to find the total volume delivered: 40 drops/minute * 0.05 ml/drop * 60 minutes/hour = 24 milliliters.

Rationale: The electron configuration of an atom refers to the arrangement of electrons in the atom's orbitals. This arrangement determines the atom's chemical properties and behavior. The number of protons in an atom's nucleus (option B) is known as the atomic number, while the number of neutrons in an atom's nucleus (option C) contributes to the atom's mass number. The number of electrons in an atom's valence shell (option D) is important for understanding the atom's reactivity and bonding behavior.

The sign of the product is determined by the rule that states that a positive number multiplied by a negative number results in a negative number. Therefore, the statement that the product will always be negative is always true when multiplying positive and negative integers.
