Why would a patient need to be in prone position?

1 answer:

5 0

Reduced stroke volume and cardiac index results in a drop in blood pressure often seen when a patient is turned from supine to prone. Respiratory changes include a 30% to 35% decrease in respiratory compliance and increase in peak airway pressure. This in turn decreases venous return and cardiac output.

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

At elevated temperature, nitrogen dioxide decomposes to nitrogen oxide and oxygen gas

$NO_2\rightarrow NO+\frac{1}{2}O_2$

The reaction is second order for $NO_2$ with a rate constant of $0.543M^{-1}s^{-1}$ at 300°C. If the initial [NO₂] is 0.260 M, it will take ________ s for the concentration to drop to 0.150 M

a) 1.01 b) 5.19 c) 0.299 d) 0.0880 e) 3.34

<u>Answer:</u> The time taken is 5.19 seconds

<u>Explanation:</u>

The integrated rate law equation for second order reaction follows:

$k=\frac{1}{t}\left (\frac{1}{[A]}-\frac{1}{[A]_o}\right)$

where,

k = rate constant = $0.543M^{-1}s^{-1}$

t = time taken = ?

[A] = concentration of substance after time 't' = 0.150 M

$[A]_o$ = Initial concentration = 0.260 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.543=\frac{1}{t}\left (\frac{1}{(0.150)}-\frac{1}{(0.260)}\right)\\\\t=5.19s$

Hence, the time taken is 5.19 seconds

Sheena has a lump of sodium, a lump of potassium and a lump of lithium, but they’ve got mixed up and she doesn’t know which one

Arada [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Just saw your request regarding answering this so here it is:

All of them belong of Group 1 in periodic table and thus are highly reactive! Pattern of reactivity for Group 1 (Alkali metals) increases as you move down the group as their radius keeps increasing and thus electrons can be easily lost. Thus, to ID the lumps, Sheena should look at their reactivity and she should get the following trend:

Most reactive: Potassium (K)

Intermediate: Sodium (Na)

Least reactive: Lithium (Li)

Hope it helps!
