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.

How much energy is needed to warm 7.40g of water by 55 degress C?
zloy xaker [14]
<span>E = mCdT
E = energy, m = mass, C = specific heat capacity, dT = change in temperature.
526 = 0.074C x 17
E = 0.074C x 55
Divide the equations
E/526 = (0.074C x 55)/(0.074C x 17) = 55/17
E = (55 x 526)/17 = 1702 J</span>

A megamole of titanium contains __________ moles of titanium.
Gala2k [10]
Answer is: 1 megamole is equal to 1000000 (one million) mole or 10⁶<span> moles</span>.
The SI base unit for amount of substance is the mole. The SI prefix "mega" represents a factor of 10⁶, or in exponential notation, 1E6.
<span>The mole is the amount of substance of a system which contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 12 grams of carbon C-12.</span>

In the reaction N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3, what is the mole ratio of hydrogen to nitrogen?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer: The mole ratio of hydrogen to nitrogen is 3 mole: 1 mole, 3:1

Explanation:

•Mole ratios are determined using the coefficients of the substances in the balanced chemical equation. •Each coefficient represents the number of mole of each substance in the chemical reaction.

•The mole ratio can be determined by first writing out a balanced chemical equation for the reaction.

For this reaction the balanced chemical equation is

N2(g) + 3H2(g) ----> 2NH3(g)

1mol:3mol : 2mol

From the equation we can see that 1 mole of N2(g) reacts with 3 moles of H2(g) or 3 moles of H2(g) react with 1 mole of N2(g) to produce 2 moles of NH3(g).

Therefore, the mole ratio of hydrogen to nitrogen is 3 mole: 1 mole, 3:1
