Answer:

Nitropruside

Explanation:

Shock is a serious medical condition where oxygen levels in the body are low,  causing a low blood pressure which can lead to organ damage and sometimes death. Shock can be caused by low blood volume or inadequate pumping action of the heart.

Nitropruside is a very potent vasodilator. It acts on the arterial and venous smooth muscles, causing smooth muscle relaxation and leading to decreased cardiac preload and afterload. A reduction in afterload gives rise to an increased cardiac output and blood supply to the cells is increased. This in turn reduces the need for the heart to pump more blood (a compensatory response by the heart due to the low oxygen levels), thereby reducing the oxygen demand of the heart.

PLEASE HELP<br> Why do atoms form bonds with other atoms? Provide example using octet rule
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

For Covalent bonds, atoms tend to share their electrons with each other to satisfy the Octet Rule. It requires 8 electrons because that is the amount of electrons needed to fill a s- and p- orbital (electron configuration); also known as a noble gas configuration

Which statement is correct about the rate of chemical reactions?
ratelena [41]

Answer:

It increases when a catalyst is added.

Explanation:

The following factors control reaction rates:

1. Nature of reactants

2. Concentration of the reactants or pressure of gaseous

3. Temperature

4. Presence of catalyst

5. Sunlight

The addition of a foreign body to a reaction may influence the speed of the reaction. If a foreign body increases the rate of reaction, it is a called a positive catalyst or simply a catalyst. A negative catalyst is called an inhibitor.

A catalyst is a substance that is introduced into a chemical reaction to change the rate of the reaction without itself being affected at the end of the reaction.

Catalysts helps to reduce reaction time of many slow reactions. Most catalysts are specific in their actions and works on certain reactions or substrates.

Temperature change has a considerable effect on reaction rates since temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of reacting particles. Generally, reaction rate varies as temperature directly.

A scientist is trying to determine whether a certain substance is radioactive. Which question would be most helpful to ask?
oksian1 [2.3K]
Well a question to ask would be if the mass of the material has changed significantly as that would determine that the substance is radioactive or if there have been any high readings found by a Geiger meter in certain period of time

hope that helps
