Q

Avogadro’s equation …

A

v/n=K…. one mole is 6.022x 10^23 particles
one mole of gas at STP occupies 22.3 liters.
equal volumes of gas at same temp and pressure contain same number of molecules regardless of chemical nature or physical properties.

20
Q

Ficks law wording…

A

diffusion rate is directly proportional to partial pressure gradient, membrane area, and solubility. diffusion rate is indirectly proportional to membrane thickness

21
Q

Ficks law examples… (4)

A
  1. concentration effect
  2. second gas effect
  3. diffusional hypoxia
  4. expansion of gas spaces, increase in pressure of closed gas spaces when N20 is turned on
22
Q

Grahams Law equation…

A

Diffusion indirectly proportional to 1/ square of MW ?

23
Q

Grahams law examples… (3)

A
  1. the larger the gas molecule, the slower it diffuses across a membrane
  2. part of the second gas effect- the rapid uptake of a smaller molecule concentrates the larger molecule left behind
  3. diffusion hypoxia (reversing second gas effect)
24
Q

Pressure and force equation…

A

P= F/A

25
Q

pressure and force wording…

A
  1. force is anything that causes an object to undergo a change in movement, direction, or shape.
  2. One pascal is the pressure of piece of paper resing on a table
  3. 1 kPa= 1 bar= 1 atm = 14.7 psi = 760 mmHg
  4. a larger syringe requires greater force to generate the same pressure
  5. any spring + diaphragm valve, for example APL valve
26
Q

hagan- poiseuille law (laminar flow)

A

Q= pi r^4 x change in P / 8nL

27
Q

wording of hagan poiseuille law..

A

flow is direcly proportional to radius.

28
Q

examples of poiseuille law… (5)

A
  1. doubling radius increases flow 16x. tripling radius increase flow 81x
  2. increase flow by increasing diameter of needle or decreasing length of needle or by raising IV bag height
  3. larger ETT equals less resistance to flow
  4. tapered flowmeter with ball or bobbin
  5. viscosity of blood- polycythemic pt has decreased bloodflow through tissues( high viscocity of blood), anemic pt has increased bloodflow through tissues (low viscoscity of blood)
