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.

Which solution has the lowest pH? A. 1.0 M HNO2 B. 1.0 M CH3COOH C. 1.0 M HCOOH D. 1.0 M HNO3 E. 1.0 M HPO4–

denpristay [2]

The parameter pH is a measure of the substance's acidity or basicity. It is quantitatively equal to the negative logarithm of the concentration of H+ ions. So, the lower the pH, the more acidic the substance, Otherwise, the higher the pH the more basic the substance. The pH range runs from 1 to 14, with 7 being neutral.

So, if we are asked to distinguish which of those have the lowest pH, we have to know the moles of H+ ions. Since all of them have a concentration of 0.1 M, concentration is not a factor. Thus, we just have to identify the strongest acid among the list. That is easy to answer because you only have to remember 7 strong acid occurring in nature: HCl, H₂SO₄, HNO₃, HClO₄, HClO₃, HBr, and HI. Since only HNO₃ is included in the list among the choices, the answer would be letter D.
