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.

SOLVE The density of a gas is 0.68 g/mL. What amount of space would 23.8 g of this gas occupy?
Contact [7]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 35 mL</h2>

Explanation:

Density of a substance can be found by using the formula

Density(\rho) =  \frac{mass}{volume}

From the question we are finding the amount of space the gas will occupy that's the volume of the gas

Making volume the subject we have

volume =  \frac{mass}{Density}

From the question

mass = 23.8 g/mL

Density = 0.68 g/mL

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve

That's

volume =  \frac{23.8}{0.68}

We have the final answer as

<h3>35 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

Joseph drives 25miles North in 15 minutes then he drives 40 miles east in 30 minutes, then he uses cruise control option for 1 h
Musya8 [376]

Answer: 1.25 miles per minute

Explanation:

Average speed is the rate of change of total distance covered per unit time.

i.e Average speed = (Total distance / Time taken)

Total distance covered = (25miles + 40 miles + 70 miles + 15 miles)

= 150 miles

Total time taken = ( 15 minutes + 30 minutes + 1 hour + 15 minutes) = 120 minutes

Since 60 minutes = 1 hour, the total time taken is 120 minutes

Now, apply Average speed = (Total distance / Time taken)

= (150 miles / 120 minutes)

= 1.25 miles per minutes

Thus, Joseph drove with an average speed of 1.25 miles per minute.

The electron configuration for an atom is 1s 2s 2p2. How many electrons does the atom have?
taurus [48]

Answer:

Four  

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em>superscripts</em> in an electron configuration tell us how many electrons are in a subshell.

If the electron configuration is 1s¹ 2s¹2p², the total number of electrons is

1 + 1 + 2 = 4

The atom contains four electrons.

<em>Note</em>: this atom is in an <em>excited state</em>, because the 1s and 2s subshells can each hold one more electron.
