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.

What phenomenon in nature do scientists use to define the length of a meter? Why is this a better definition than “the length of
sergey [27]

Answer:

The natural phenomenon used to describe the length of a meter is the speed of light. The length of a meter is the length a light path travels in 1/(299792458) seconds through a vacuum.

The definition is better due to the uncertainty involved in the use of the length of a standard meter stick because the length of the meter stick could change due to atmospheric conditions from place to place

A 10 gram sample of iron reacts with oxygen to form 18.2 grams of ferric oxide. How many grams of oxygen reacted?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 8.2 \ grams}}

Explanation:

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the mass of the products must equal the mass of the reactants.

  • mass products = mass reactants

In this problem, the reaction is:

iron + oxygen = ferric \ oxygen

  • The reactants are iron and oxygen. We know the mass of the iron sample is 10 grams.
  • The product is ferric oxide. The mass of the ferric oxide sample is 18.2 grams.

10 \ g + oxygen=18.2 \ g

We want to find how many grams of oxygen reacted. We have to get the oxygen by itself. 10 is being added to oxygen. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation.

10 \ g - 10 \ g+ oxygen = 18.2 \ g - 10 \ g

oxygen= 18.2 \ g - 10 \ g

oxygen= 8.2 \ g \\

<u>8.2 grams of oxygen </u>reacted with 10 grams of iron to form 18.2 grams of ferric oxide.
