Chem/ Phys/ Math Review Flashcards
Molecular Theory of Matter
“matter is made up of minute particles called molecules, that exist in various states (solid, liquid, gas, plasma)”
Kinetic Molecular Theory of Matter
” molecules are in constant motion (random motion) and have a degree of attraction between them called van Der Waals forces”
Critical Temperature
“the temp above which a gas cannot be liquified regardless of how much pressure is applied”
Isomers
molecules with the same chemical formula but different structures
Structural Isomers
same molecular formula but atoms are located in different places. different molecules with diff chemical and physical properties
Stereoisomers
similar geometric arrangement of atoms but differ in their spatial position
Enantiomers
mirror images, not superimposable, possess similar chemical and physical properties, optically active
Diastereomers
not mirror images, may have diff chemical and physical properties
Levo
rotate polarized light in a counterclockwise fashion, (-)
Dextro
rotate polarized light in a clockwise fashion, (+)
Racemic
50% levo, 50% dextro
Atoms
building block of chemistry
Ion
atoms carrying positive or negative charge
Cation
atoms carrying a positive charge
Anion
atoms carrying a negative charge
Inverse
relationship of temp and solubility in a gas
Direct
relationship of pressure and solubility in a gas
Henry’s Law
at constant temperature: the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas in contact with the solution
0.003ml/100ml blood/mmHg partial pressure
O2 solubility coefficient
0.067ml/100ml blood/mmHg partial pressure
CO2 solubility coefficient
Henry’s Law
allows calculation of O2 and CO2 dissolved in blood
DO2= CO x ((1.34 x hgb x SpO2) + (PaO2 x 0.003)) x10
O2 delivery calculation
Henry’s Law
increasing FiO2 is an application of ???
PaO2
represents oxygen dissolved in blood
Henry’s Law
over pressurizing the vaporizer - we increase the concentration set on the vaporizer to speed up delivery to the blood, and therefore the brain
Graham’s Law
a gas diffuses at a rate that is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular weight… (as molecular weight increases, the ratio diffusion decreases). faster diffusion of smaller particles
Nitrous Oxide
gas that diffuses into air filled cavities
20-25
ETT cuff pressure
40-60
LMA cuff pressure
Apneic Oxygenation
continual diffusion of O2 into the blood is driven by a concentration gradient that continually diffuses O2 into the alveoli via the ventilator circuit
Fick’s Law
diffusion of a gas across a semipermeable membrane is directly proportional to the partial pressure gradient, the membrane solubility of the gas, and the membrane area, and is inversely proportional to the membrane thickness and the molecular weight of the gas.
- concentration gradient (direct)
- membrane surface area (direct)
- diffusion coefficient (solubility) (direct)
- thickness of the membrane (inverse)
- molecular weight (inverse)
the rate of diffusion of a substance across a membrane is related to…
Fick’s Law
allows determination of pulmonary gas exchange
Fick’s Law
diffusion hypoxia
Fick’s Law
COPD- reduced surface tension- slower induction
Fick’s Law
Placental drug transfer
2nd Gas Effect
the rapid uptake of high concentrations of N2O at induction of inhalation anesthesia produces an increase in alveolar concentrations of O2 and the accompanying volatile anesthetic agent
Fick’s Law
expansion of the ETT cuff when N20 is in use
Fick’s Law
expansion of air pockets when N2O is use
Bourdon Gauge
used to measure high pressures, such as in gas cylinders, are in zero referenced to atmospheric pressure (0= 760mmHg= 1 atm)
Gauge Pressure
absolute pressure minus atmospheric pressure
Boyle’s Law
pressure and volume held at constant temp. the volume of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the pressure (as pressure goes up, volume goes down)
Boyle’s Law

Boyle’s Law
