How does the density of a gas affect the speed of sound

1 answer:

4 0

Increased density decreases the speed of sound in a medium. While increased density can mean increased rigidity, or stiffness, it is not always the case. Greater density can be due to each molecule or atom having more momentum, and being slower to respond to the vibration of its neighbor.

The client's lab values are sodium 166 mEq/L, potassium 5.0 mEq/L, chloride 115 mEq/L, and bicarbonate 35 mEq/L. What condition

Fantom [35]

Answer:

The anion value of 21mEq/L suggest the client will have metabolic acidosis

Explanation:

Anion gap is the interval or difference between measured cations (Sodium and Potassium) with the sum of measured anions (chloride and bicarbonate)

Using the above mentioned data

(166 + 5) - (115 + 35) = 21mEq/L

Therefore the Anion gap = 21mEq/L
