116mmHg (550 x 0.21)

25
Q

What does relative humidity measure?

A

measures the saturation of water in air

26
Q

Warmer air will hold _____ water

A

more

27
Q

If temperature goes down, relative humidity goes ___

A

up

28
Q

When relative humidity reaches 100%, what happens?

A

some moisture will evaporate out - dew

29
Q

Kinetic Theory of Gases - assumes that the molecules are very _____ relative to the distance between molecules. The molecules are in _______, random motion and frequently ______ with each other and with the walls of any container.

A

small
constant
collide

30
Q

In kinetic theory of gases, there are no attractive nor repulsive forces between the gas particles, thus collisions are

A

elastic

31
Q

Average kinetic energy depends on

A

temperature

32
Q

internal energy =

A

kinetic energy + potential energy

cylinder

33
Q

What is average speed?

A

Relationship between kinetic energy and temperature

KE= 3/2 kT

34
Q

What is the average speed of oxygen molecules at room temp? (25*C)

A

1,078 mph

35
Q

What does Grahams law discuss?

A

diffusion principales

36
Q

What is diffusion?

A

movement of a substance from higher concentration to area of lower concentration

37
Q

What is effusion?

A

movement of gas through a small opening

38
Q

What is an example of Grahams Law of Effusion?

A

when you give a patient Isoflurane, high concentration in lungs – it wants to diffuse to lower concentrations in the blood, same thing with brain until it reaches equilibrium

39
Q

What is Ficks Law?

A

Rate of diffusion depends on chemical nature of membrane, partial pressure gradient, thickness of the membrane

40
Q

Diffusion rate directly proportional to

A

o Partial pressure gradient
o Membrane area
o Solubility of gas in membrane

41
Q

Diffusion rate inversely proportional to

A

o Membrane thickness

o Sq. root of molecular weight

42
Q

What gas displays a rapid diffusion rate across the alveolar membrane

A

nitrous oxide

43
Q

What is perfusion limitation?

A

Principal factor limiting blood transport of N2O away from the lungs is merely the rate of blood flow through the pulmonary capillaries

44
Q

Ficks Law describes what 4 effects?

A

o Concentration effect
o Second gas effect
o Diffusion hypoxia
o Why N2O leads to increase in volume or increase in pressure in gas spaces in the body

45
Q

Even though CO2 is larger than O2, CO2 diffuses 20x faster across the alveolar and capillary membranes because it is 20x more

A

Soluble

46
Q

The process by which the fetus receives O2 and drugs is

A

Simple diffusion

47
Q

Diffusion of a gas from alveoli to blood (or back out) requires

A

A difference in partial pressure

48
Q

What is Henreys Law?

A

Amount of gas that dissolves in a liquid is directly proportional to PP of the gas as long as temp remains constant

49
Q

According to Henreys Law, the colder the liquid, the _____ gas that will dissolve in the liquid
