The value that the nurse must obtain from the stomach is a pH of 5.

A nasogastric tube is a medical device that is inserted through the patient's nose into the stomach to introduce food and medicine directly.

To know that the probe is placed in the desired position (in the stomach) a pH dating method is used.

In this method, the location of the probe is verified by absorbing mucus and checking its pH. Depending on the location, both the pH and the color of the mucus will be different. For example:

  • Stomach mucus should have a pH of 1 to 5
  • Mucus in the airways has a pH of 6
  • Mucus in the small intestine has a pH of 6 or higher

This dating is used to avoid sending food or medicine to the wrong place in the body, which could put the patient's life at risk.

Use Boyle’s law to complete the following:
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 0.25 l

Explanation:

Data

P1 = 1 atm

V1 = 0.5 l

P2 =2 atm

V2 = ?

T = constant

Formula

          V1P1 = V2P2

Clear V2 from the formula

            V2 = V1P1/P2

Substitution

            V2 = (0.5)(1)/2  substitution

                  = 0.25 l       result

An iron pipe has a density of 7.86 g/mL and a volume of 324.4 mL. What is the mass of the iron pipe?
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Mass=2549.784 \ g

Explanation:

The equation for mass is:

Mass = Density * Volume

We plug in the given values into the equation:

Mass = 7.86 \ g/mL * 324.4 \ mL

Mass=2549.784 \ g

The vapor pressure of pure water at 296 K is 2778.5 Pa. The vapor forms an ideal gas. 1) In some oil, the equilibrium concentrat
Murljashka [212]

Explanation:

It is given that vapor pressure of pure water at 296 K is 2778.5 Pa.These vapors will result in the formation of an ideal gas.

Now, as water is covered with oil and contains only 1% molecules of water. Hence, the vapor pressure of this mixture will also be equal to the vapor pressure of pure water.

So, vapor pressure of mixture = 1% vapor pressure of pure water

Therefore, \text{(Vapor pressure)}_{mixture} = \frac{1}{100} \times 2778.5 Pa

                                                 = 27.785 Pa

Thus, we can conclude that the equilibrium vapor pressure of water above the oil layer is 27.785 Pa.

The diagram below shows the different phase transitions that occur in matter.
solmaris [256]

Answer:

# 5

Explanation:

The question describes silver being "poured" into a mold and cools to become a solid bar. This is the phase of liquid to solid. When a element cools down below it's freezing points to become a solid.

<u>Liquid to Solid Definition:</u>

Freezing, or solidification, is a phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered to or below its freezing point. All known liquids, except helium, freeze when the temperature is low enough.
