Question 30

Dalton’s Law

Answer 30

partial pressure of a gas = total pressure in that space x gas fraction

Question 31

How can you calculate how much gas dissolves in a solution?

Answer 31

Henry’s law

Question 32

Henry’s law

Answer 32

Cx = Px * K
concentration = partial pressure * constant

Question 33

what is alveolar dead space?

Answer 33

alveoli is ventilated but not perfused

Fraction of CO2 in alveolar is higher than fraction of exhaled CO2

Answer 34

a lot of dead space

Question 35

more dead space indicates more –

Answer 35

mixing of air that doesn’t get exchange
