Answer:

Light is made up of wavelengths of light, and each wavelength is a particular colour. The colour we see is a result of which wavelengths are reflected back to our eyes. The visible spectrum showing the wavelengths of each of the component colours. The spectrum ranges from dark red at 700 nm to violet at 400 nm.The 'colour' of an object is the wavelengths of light that it reflects. This is determined by the arrangement of electrons in the atoms of that substance that will absorb and re-emit photons of particular energies according to complicated quantum laws.The reason that different waves of light appear to be different colors of light is because the color of a light wave depends on its wavelength. For example, the wavelength of blue light is about 450 nanometers, while the wavelength of red light is about 700 nanometers.

An intravenous infusion is to contain 15 mEq of potassium ion and 20 mEq of sodium ion in 500 mL of 5% dextrose injection. Using

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

To supply the required ions it is necessary to inject 5,6mL of 6g/30mL solution and 131,1 mL of 0,9% solution.

Explanation:

1mEq of sodium are 59mg of NaCl and 1mEq of potassium are 75mg KCl

in intravenous infusion 15 mEq of K are:

15x75mg KCl = 1,125g of KCl

And 20 mEq of Na are:

20x59mg NaCl = 1,18g of NaCl

To supply the potassium ion it is necessary to inject:

1,125g of KCl× $\frac{30mL}{6g}$ = 5,6mL of 6g/30mL solution

And, to supply the sodium ion it is necessary to inject:

1,18g of NaCl× $\frac{100mL}{0,9g}$ = 131,1 mL of 0,9% solution

I hope it helps!
