Unit 12 - Chemistry & Physics Flashcards
complete transfer of valence electrons
ionic bond
equal sharing of valence electrons
covalent bond
unequal sharing of valence electrons
polar covalent bond
3 components of an atom
- protons
- neutrons
- electrons
what 2 components of an atom make up the nucleus?
protons and neutrons
what determines an atom’s atomic number
number of protons
the predictable orbit electrons travel in is called a
shell
electrons in the outermost shell are called
valence electrons
what makes the atom non-reactive (inert)
full shell
what is a molecule?
2 or more atoms bonded together
what gives an atom a neutral charge
electrons = # protons
what gives an atom a positive charge
protons > # electrons
what gives an atom a negative charge
electrons > # protons
what is an ion?
an atom that carries a positive or negative charge
what is a cation
an atom with a positive charge (it has lost electrons)
what is an anion
an atom with a negative charge (it has gained electrons)
which tends to ionize, metals or non-metals?
metals
bond that involves the complete transfer of valence electron(s) from one atom to another
ionic bond
bonding common among acids and bases
ionic bond
key example of a polar covalent bond
water - region near oxygen atom is relatively negative and region near hydrogen atom is relatively positive
what explains why a hydrophilic solute dissolves in water
since water is a polar molecule, it’s also attracted to other polar molecules and ions
what describes a very weak intermolecular force that holds molecules of the same type together
Van der Waals Forces
molecular bonds in decreasing order of strength
covalent > ionic > polar covalent > Van der Waals
Dalton’s law of partial pressures
total pressure is equal to the sum of the partial pressures exerted by each gas in the mixture
how to convert partial pressure to volumes percent for a liquid
volumes % = (volume of solute/volume of solution) / 100
how to convert partial pressure to volumes percent for a gas
volumes % = (partial pressure / total pressure) * 100
convert volumes percent to a partial pressure
partial presure = (volumes %/100) * total pressure
Henry’s law
at a constnt temperature, the amount of gas that dissolves in a solution is directly proportional to partial pressure of that gas over the solution
Or - the higher the gas pressure, the more it will dissolve into a liquid (assuming constant temp)
which law explains why emergence is prolonged in hypothermic patients
why?
Henry’s law
the solubility of the gas is increased and less of it leaves the body per unit of time
according to Henry’s law, how does partial pressure affect solubility?
decreased pressure = decreased solubility
increased pressure = increased solubility
how does temperature affect solubility
decreased temp = increased solubility
increased temp = decreased solubility
solubility of CO2 vs O2
CO2 is ~20 times more soluble than O2
oxygen delivery calculation
DO2 = CO * [(1.34 * Hgb * SpO2) + (PaO2 * 0.003)} * 10
how to calculate the amount of CO2 dissolved in the blood
PaCO2 x 0.067 mL/dL/mmHg
how is most CO2 transported in the blood
in the form of bicarbonate or bound to hgb
how does “overpressurizing” during induction work
if you significantly increase the concentration of volatile anesthetic at the alveolocapillary interface, can hasten its transfer into the bloodstream and ultimately the brain
gas law that describes the transfer rate of gas through a tissue medium
Fick’s law of diffusion
according to Fick’s law, rate of transfer is directly proportional to:
- partial pressure difference (driving force)
- diffusion coefficient (solubility)
- membrane surface area
