Blood samples for research or medical tests sometimes have heparin added. Why is this done?

1 answer:

8 0

It is essential for accurate results that the correct volume of blood is sampled to achieve a correct concentration (and dilution, if liquid heparin is used), and that blood and anticoagulant are well mixed immediately after sampling.

The half-life of a certain tranquilizer in the bloodstream is 5050 hours. how long will it take for the drug to decay to 8686%

Novosadov [1.4K]

Using the exponential decay model; we calculate "k"
We know that "A" is half of A0
A = A0 e^(k× 5050)
A/A0 = e^(5050k)
0.5 = e^(5055k)
In (0.5) = 5055k
-0.69315 = 5055k
k = -0.0001371
To calculate how long it will take to decay to 86% of the original mass
0.86 = e^(-0.0001371t)
In (0.86) = -0.0001371t
-0.150823 = -0.0001371 t
t = 1100 hours

The vapor pressure of water at 65oC is 187.54 mmHg. What is the vapor pressure of a ethylene glycol (CH2(OH)CH2(OH)) solution ma

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

173.83 mmHg is the vapor pressure of a ethylene glycol solution.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure of water at 65 °C= $p_o= 187.54 mmHg$

Vapor pressure of the solution at 65 °C= $p_s$

The relative lowering of vapor pressure of solution in which non volatile solute is dissolved is equal to mole fraction of solute in the solution.

Mass of ethylene glycol = 22.37 g

Mass of water in a solution = 82.21 g

Moles of water= $n_1=\frac{82.21 g}{18 g/mol}=4.5672 mol$

Moles of ethylene glycol= $n_2=\frac{22.37 g}{62.07 g/mol}=0.3603 mol$

$\frac{p_o-p_s}{p_o}=\frac{n_2}{n_1+n_2}$

$\frac{187.54 mmHg-p_s}{187.54 mmHg}=\frac{0.3603 mol}{0.3603 mol+4.5672 mol}$

$p_s=173.83 mmHg$

173.83 mmHg is the vapor pressure of a ethylene glycol solution.
