If a patient\'s blood pressure is 145 over 65 mmHg, what is it in atmospheres (atm)

Converting mmHg to atm is solved by division.

Example: Convert 745.0 to atm.

Solution- divide the mmHg value by the 760.0 mmHg / atm.

745 mmHg over 760.0 mmHg/atm

atm value is 0.980263

Now, I am a medical student and we have never had to convert a BP (blood pressure) to atm from mmHg, only ever kPA. SO, I am going to take a guess here and say that when you do the work to solve this, you are going to convert the Systolic (upper #) which is the 145. You should get 0.190789 and then convert the Diastolic (lower #) which is 65. You should get 0.08552632.

So your fraction so to speak should read, 0.190789/0.08552632 or 0.190789 over 0.08552632

(Just to note that is way to low of a BP, although it is irrelevant) Best wishes and good luck. "Remember, never just look for the right answer, look for why it is the right answer!"

Answer:

0.191/0.086 atm

Explanation:

Blood pressure is expressed with two numbers:

The first number is the systolic pressure which is the pressure when the heart beats.

The second number is the diastolic pressure which is the pressure when the heart rests between beats.

So, we must convert the two numbers to atm. Since 1 atm is equal to 760 mmHg we have:

145 mmHg x (1 atm/760 mmHg) = 0.191 atm

65 mmHg x (1 atm/760 mmHg) = 0.086 atm

The patient’s blood pressure is 0.191/0.086 atm

Use the amount (mol) of solute and amount (mol) of solvent to calculate the mole fraction. An aqueous solution of ethanol, CH3CH
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

%m/m = 0.9975%

Xₐ = 0.0039

Explanation:

In order to do this, we need various data. First to all, we need tje molecular mass of the ethanol. this can be obtained in handbooks, or simply taking the atomic weights of carbon (12 g/mol), Hydrogen (1 g/mol) and oxygen (16 g/mol) and summing those values:

MM C₂H₆O = (2*12) + (6*1) + (16*1) = 46 g/mol

Now, there is an expression that is commonly used to determine the molarity of a solution given the mass percent and density, and assuming of course, 1 liter of solution:

M = d * %m/m * 1000 / MM * 100     (1)

From here, we can solve for %m/m:

%m/m = M * MM * 100 / d * 1000

As the problem is not saying the volume of solution, we can easily assume we have 1 liter of solution. Therefore, the %m/m replacing the given data is:

%m/m = 0.216 *46 * 100 / 0.996 * 1000

<h2>%m/m = 0.9975%</h2>

To get the mole fraction, we first need to get the volume of solvent. From the density, we can get the mass of solution:

m = V * d

m = 1000 * 0.996 = 996 g of solution.

The mass of solute is:

m = 0.216 mol/L * 46 g/mol

m = 9.936 g/L, or simply we have 9.936 g of ethanol in 1 L of solution.

The mass of solvent:

solvent = 996 - 9.936 = 986.064 g

The molecular mass of water, so we can get the moles is 18 g/mol so:

moles water = 986.064 / 18 = 54.78

Finally the mole fraction:

Xₐ = 0.216 / (0.216 + 54.78)

<h2>Xₐ = 0.0039</h2>

Hope this helps

Dimethyl sulfoxide [(ch3)2so], also called dmso, is an important solvent that penetrates the skin, enabling it to be used as a t
Bas_tet [7]

The molecular formula of dimethyl sulfoxide is (CH_{3})_{2}SO. Molar mass of dimethyl sulfoxide is 78.13 g/mol. Calculate number of moles as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}=\frac{7.14\times 10^{3} g}{78.13 g/mol}=91.38 mol

From the molecular formula, 1 mole of dimethyl sulfoxide contains 2 moles of Carbon, 6 moles of Hydrogen, 1 mole of Sulfur and 1 mole of oxygen.

Thus, 91.38 moles of dimethyl sulfoxide will have:

Carbon :

n_{C}=2\times 91.38 moles=182.77 moles

Hydrogen:

n_{H}=6\times 91.38 moles=548.28 moles

Sulfur:

n_{S}=1\times 91.38 moles=91.38 moles

Oxygen:

n_{O}=1\times 91.38 moles=91.38 moles

Since, 1 mole of an element equals to 6.023\times 10^{23} atoms thus, number of atoms can be calculated as:

Carbon:

1 mole\rightarrow 6.023\times 10^{23} atoms

Thus,

182.77 moles\rightarrow 182.77\times 6.023\times 10^{23} atoms=1.10\times 10^{26} atoms

Hydrogen:

1 mole\rightarrow 6.023\times 10^{23} atoms

Thus,

548.28 moles\rightarrow 548.28\times 6.023\times 10^{23} atoms=3.30\times 10^{26} atoms

Sulfur:

1 mole\rightarrow 6.023\times 10^{23} atoms

Thus,

91.38 moles\rightarrow 91.38\times 6.023\times 10^{23} atoms=5.50\times 10^{25} atoms

Oxygen:

1 mole\rightarrow 6.023\times 10^{23} atoms

Thus,

91.38 moles\rightarrow 91.38\times 6.023\times 10^{23} atoms=5.50\times 10^{25} atoms

Therefore, number of C, S, H and O atoms are 1.10\times 10^{26}, 5.50\times 10^{25}, 3.30\times 10^{26} and 5.50\times 10^{25} atoms respectively.

What mass of precipitate will be produced from the reaction of 50.0 mL of 2.50 mol/L sodium hydroxide with an excess of zinc chl
amid [387]

2NaOH + ZnCl2 → 2NaCl + Zn(OH)2

Zn(OH)2 is your precipitate.

No. of moles of NaOH = 2.50X50.0÷1000 = 0.125mol

2mol of NaOH reacted to produce 1 mol of Zn(OH)2.

No. of moles of Zn(OH)2 produced when 0.125mol of NaOH reacted

= 0.125 x 1 ÷ 2

= 0.0625mol

Mass of Zn(OH)2 = 0.0625 x [65.4+2(16+1)] = 6.21g
