"which electrolyte concentration has the potential to precipitate dysrhythmias and cardiac arrest in a client

1 answer:

6 0

The electrolyte concentration that has the potential to precipitate dysrhythmias and cardiac arrest in a client is Serum potassium of 7.2 mEq/L (7.2 mmol/L). Hyperkalemia causes dysrhythmias and cardiac arrest. The normal serum potassium concentration ranges between 3.5 and 5.0 mEq/L (7.2 mmol/L) indicates hyperkalemia. The normal concentration of sodium in the serum ranges between 135 and 145 mEq/L . The normal chloride concentration ranges between 96 and 106 mEq/L and the normal serum calcium level ranges between 9 and 10.5 mg/dL.

Assume a gasoline is isooctane, which has a density of 0.692 g/ml. What is the mass of 3.8 gal of the gasoline (1 gal = 3.78 l)?

sveticcg [70]

Density is the ratio of mass to the volume.

The mathematical expression is given as:

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

Now, density of isooctane = $0.692 g/mL$

Volume = $3.8 gal$

Since, 1 gallon = 3.78 L

So, 3.8 gal = $3.78 L\times 3.8$

= $14.364 L$

As, 1 L = 1000 mL

Therefore, $14.364 L$ = $14.364 L\times 1000 mL$

Volume in mL = $14364 mL$

Put the values,

$0.692 g/mL=\frac{mass}{14364 mL}$

$m = 0.692 g/mL\times 14364 mL$

= $9939.888 g$

Hence, mass of 3.8 gal of the gasoline is $9939.888 g$ .

Which of the following is true regarding a voltaic (or galvanic) cell? a) It can only be used with hydrogen. b) It produces elec

N76 [4]

Answer:

b) It produces electrical current spontaneously.

Explanation:

Cells capable of converting chemical energy to electrical energy and vice versa are termed Electrochemical cells. There are two types of electrochemical cells viz: Galvanic or Voltaic cells and Electrolytic cells. Voltaic cell is an elctrochemical cell capable of generating electrical energy from the chemical reaction occuring in it.

The voltaic cell uses spontaneous reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions to generate ions in a half cell that causes electric currents to flow. An half cell is a part of the galvanic cell where either oxidation or reduction reaction is taking place. Hence, the spontaneous production of electric currents is true about Voltaic/Galvanic cells.

Give the name and formula of the compound formed from the following elements: (a) sodium and nitrogen; (b) oxygen and strontium;

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

For a: The chemical name and chemical formula formed is sodium nitride and $Na_3N$

For b: The chemical name and chemical formula formed is strontium oxide and $SrO$

For c: The chemical name and chemical formula formed is aluminium chloride and $AlCl_3$

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

For a: Sodium and nitrogen:

Sodium is the 11th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^1$

To form $Na^{+}$ ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Nitrogen is the 7th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^3$ .

To form $N^{3-}$ ion, this element will gain 3 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for sodium nitride is $Na_3N$

For b: Oxygen and strontium

Strontium is the 38th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Kr]5s^2$ .

To form $Sr^{2+}$ ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^4$ .

To form $O^{2-}$ ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for strontium oxide is $SrO$

For c: Aluminium and chlorine

Aluminium is the 13th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^1$

To form $Al^{3+}$ ion, this element will loose 3 electrons.

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^5$

To form $Cl^{-}$ ion, this element will gain 1 electron.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for aluminium chloride is $AlCl_3$
