Answer: 50 to 80mmHg

Explanation:

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is described as an ocular condition associated with O2 administration to premature infants. Excessive blood O2 levels produce retinal vasoconstriction, which (if prolonged) can result in permanent blindness. This risk poses a serious management problem, for the premature infant is often in need of supplemental O2. The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that keeping PaO2s between 50 to 80mmHg is the best way to minimize the risk of Retinopathy of Prematurity.

Devices that mix air or oxygen with flammable gasses cannot be used unless approved by

Feliz [49]

Flammable gases are gases that have the tendency to explode (burst into flames) when they come in contact with the appropriate quantities of air, oxygen, or any suitable oxidant.

Devices that mix air or oxygen with flammable gasses cannot be used unless approved by an authorized or approved personnel.

Examples of flammable gases are hydrocarbons such as Propane, Acetylene, e.t.c.

Flammable gases are dangerous to humans and the environment and if they are not handled properly, can cause severe damages and even death.

During the preparation and usage of flammable gases, safety precautions should be properly enforced such as the wearing of appropriate safety gear and goggles.

Devices that mix air or oxygen with flammable gases cannot be used unless approved by an authorized or approved personnel.

Write the net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous copper(II) chloride with aqueous sodium phosphate. Remember to include

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

3 Cu²⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq) ⇒ Cu₃(PO₄)₂(s)

Explanation:

Let's consider the molecular equation between aqueous copper(II) chloride and aqueous sodium phosphate.

3 CuCl₂(aq) + 2 Na₃PO₄(aq) ⇒ 6 NaCl(aq) + Cu₃(PO₄)₂(s)

The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and insoluble species.

3 Cu²⁺(aq) + 6 Cl⁻(aq) + 6 Na⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq) ⇒ 6 Na⁺(aq) + 6 Cl⁻(aq) + Cu₃(PO₄)₂(s)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction (not spectator ions) and insoluble species.

3 Cu²⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq) ⇒ Cu₃(PO₄)₂(s)
