A client comes to the emergency department with status asthmaticus. His respiratory rate is 48 breaths/minute, and he is wheezin

g. An arterial blood gas analysis reveals a pH of 7.52, a partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) of 30 mm Hg, PaO2 of 70 mm Hg, and bicarbonate (HCO3??') of 26 mEq/L. What disorder is indicated by these findings?

Answer:

The disorder is called Respiratory alkalosis

Explanation:

A client with asthma can hyperventilate (excess of O2). This oxygen excess can lead also to a lack of carbon dioxide (CO2) (acid substance) which can causes alkalosis (increasing the pH values in blood and body).

In this medical condition (respiratory alkalosis), the bicarbonate (HCO3-) hosted in the kidneys has a late response, so the  HCO3- level  in the client remains normal.

The PaCO2 (partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide) is low in comparison with normal values so that indicates loss of CO2 in the respiratory system.

B) convection

Explanation:

Once the sun's energy reaches the earth's atmosphere by radiation, it is circulated within the atmosphere and oceans through convection.

The energy of the sun on earth is moved between the ocean and the atmosphere by air around us.

  • Heat transfer in fluids is by convection.
  • It involves the actual motion of the particles of medium from one place to another due to differences in temperature and density.
  • Air close to the surface of the ocean is less dense and hot due to high temperature.
  • The air rises and it is replaced by colder air masses.
  • This exchange leads to the development of convective cells.
  • This moves the energy of the sun between the atmosphere and the ocean surface.

Hexane and octane are mixed to form a 45 mol% hexane solution at 25 deg C. The densities of hexane and octane are 0.655 g/cm3 an
avanturin [10]

Answer:

The required volume of hexane is 0.66245 Liters.

Explanation:

Volume of octane = v=1.0 L=1000 cm^3

Density of octane= d = 0.703 g/cm^3

Mass of octane ,m= d\times v=0.703 g/cm^3\times 1000 cm^3=703 g

Moles of octane =\frac{m}{114 g/mol}=\frac{703 g}{114 g/mol}=6.166 mol

Mole percentage of Hexane = 45%

Mole percentage of octane = 100% - 45% = 55%

55\%=\frac{6.166 mol}{\text{Total moles}}\times 100

Total moles = 11.212 mol

Moles of hexane :

45%=\frac{\text{moles of hexane }}{\text{Total moles}}\times 100

Moles of hexane = 5.0454 mol

Mass of 5.0454 moles of hexane,M = 5.0454 mol × 86 g/mol=433.9044 g

Density of the hexane,D = 0.655 g/cm^3

Volume of hexane = V

V=\frac{M}{D}=\frac{433.9044 g}{0.655 g/cm^3}=662.4494 cm^3\approx 0.66245 L

(1 cm^3= 0.001 L)

The required volume of hexane is 0.66245 Liters.

Answer:

The correct answers are:

• Softer, porous, or more permeable rocks weather faster than harder rocks.

• Rocks in warmer climates weather faster than rocks in colder climates.

• The more water present, the faster the rate of weathering.

Explanation:

Weathering is the process through which the surface minerals of rock are broken down and loosened. This occurs through the action of extreme temperatures, rainwater and biological activity.

Hope this helps- Good luck ^w
