      Determining the partial pressure of O2 in a cylinder of air.

    • D.

      Realizing that CO2 diffuses 20x faster than O2 due to increased solubility of CO2.

    Correct Answer
    D. Realizing that CO2 diffuses 20x faster than O2 due to increased solubility of CO2.
    Explanation
    CO2 diffusing 20 times faster than O2 due to its increased solubility is a good example of Graham's Law in Anesthesia practice. Graham's Law states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular weight. Since CO2 has a higher solubility than O2, it diffuses more rapidly through the respiratory membrane. This knowledge is important in anesthesia practice as it helps in understanding gas exchange and the transport of gases in the body.

    At 20 C the pressure inside your cylinder is 800 psi. If you increase your temp to 30 C what will your pressure be?

    • A.

      400 psi

    • B.

      1600 psi

    • C.

      530 psi

    • D.

      1200 psi

    Correct Answer
    D. 1200 psi
    Explanation
    When the temperature of a gas increases, its pressure also increases, assuming the volume and amount of gas remain constant. This relationship is described by the ideal gas law. Therefore, if the temperature is increased from 20°C to 30°C, the pressure inside the cylinder will also increase. The correct answer is 1200 psi, as it is the only option that represents an increase in pressure.

    How much air space should there be in a CO2 absorber?

    • A.

      Equal to Tidal Volume

    • B.

      2-3 times the Tidal Volume

    • C.

      2 L/min

    • D.

      Minimal air space should be allowed.

    Correct Answer
    B. 2-3 times the Tidal Volume
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 2-3 times the Tidal Volume. This is because the CO2 absorber is responsible for removing carbon dioxide from the patient's exhaled breath during anesthesia. By having 2-3 times the tidal volume of air space in the absorber, it ensures that there is enough capacity to effectively absorb the CO2 and prevent it from accumulating in the breathing circuit. This allows for proper ventilation and maintains the patient's respiratory function during the procedure.

    Explanation
    atmospheric pressure is 760. P1 x V1 = P2 x V2
    (760)(800) = (608) ( V2)
    608,000 = 608 ( V2)
    V2 = 1000

    • D.

      Blood Flowing into the heart

    Correct Answer
    A. Terminal Bronchioles
    Explanation
    Laminar flow refers to the smooth and orderly flow of a fluid, without turbulence or disruption. In the body, laminar flow can be found in the terminal bronchioles. These are the smallest airways in the respiratory system, where air flows in a steady and uninterrupted manner. Laminar flow is important in the terminal bronchioles as it allows for efficient gas exchange in the lungs. It ensures that oxygen is delivered to the alveoli and carbon dioxide is removed from the body without any disturbances or obstructions.

  • 14. 

    Which statement is NOT TRUE regarding the flow of solutions?

    • A.

      The greater the inflow is on one side of the tube than the outflow pressure is on the opposite side of the tube (pressure gradient)the greater the flow

    • B.

      Doubling the radius leads to 16-fold increase in flow

    • C.

      Halving of the radius decreases flow by half

    • D.

      Tripling the radius increases flow 81 fold

    Correct Answer
    C. Halving of the radius decreases flow by half
    Explanation
    The statement "Halving of the radius decreases flow by half" is not true because according to the Hagen-Poiseuille equation, the flow rate is directly proportional to the fourth power of the radius. Therefore, if the radius is halved, the flow rate will decrease by a factor of 16, not by half.

    Which one of the following is a good example of Bernoulli's law?

    • A.

      Being aware of how air flows through larger (turbulent) and smaller (laminar) airways within lungs.

    • B.

      The Venturi Mask effect where increasing velocity of flow decreases pressure exerted on walls of tube.

    • C.

      Determining the partial pressure of O2 in a cylinder of air.

    • D.

      Realizing that CO2 diffuses 20x faster than O2 due to increased solubility of CO2.

    Correct Answer
    B. The Venturi Mask effect where increasing velocity of flow decreases pressure exerted on walls of tube.
    Explanation
    The Venturi Mask effect is a good example of Bernoulli's law because it demonstrates the relationship between velocity and pressure in a fluid flow. According to Bernoulli's principle, as the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by the fluid decreases. In the case of the Venturi Mask, as the velocity of the flow increases through the narrow portion of the mask, the pressure exerted on the walls of the tube decreases. This principle is utilized in medical settings to deliver a controlled flow of oxygen to patients.

    • D.

      The total pressure of a mixture of gases in a closed container at a given temperature is equal to the sum of the pressure that each gas exerts

    Correct Answer
    B. The amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas over the liquid and indirectly proportional to temperature
    Explanation
    Henry's law states that the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas over the liquid and indirectly proportional to temperature. This means that as the partial pressure of a gas increases, more of that gas will dissolve in the liquid. Conversely, as the temperature increases, the solubility of the gas decreases, causing less of it to dissolve in the liquid.

    • A.

      Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

    • B.

      Hypocarbia

    • C.

      Administration of Methylene Blue dye

    • D.

      Anemia

    Correct Answer
    C. Administration of Methylene Blue dye
    Explanation
    Administration of Methylene Blue dye will show a FALSE desaturation on your pulse ox monitor. Methylene Blue is a medication used to treat methemoglobinemia, a condition in which the blood is unable to carry oxygen effectively. However, pulse oximeters measure the oxygen saturation in the arterial blood, not the methemoglobin level. Methylene Blue causes a change in the light absorption properties of the blood, leading to inaccurate readings on the pulse oximeter. Therefore, it will falsely indicate a desaturation even though the actual oxygen levels may be normal.

In this process, the solvent molecules move from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration, in order to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane. This movement of solvent molecules allows for the balancing of solute concentrations and is a key process in maintaining osmotic balance in living organisms.

    Which other gas laws are part of Fick's law?

    • A.

      Charles, Gay-Lusaacs & Boyles Law

    • B.

      Nouba's & Lambert Beer's Law

    • C.

      Henry's & Grahams law

    • D.

      Ohm's & Daltons Law

    Correct Answer
    C. Henry's & Grahams law
    Explanation
    Fick's law is a fundamental principle in physics and chemistry that describes the diffusion of gases. It states that the rate of diffusion is directly proportional to the surface area and concentration gradient, and inversely proportional to the thickness of the barrier. Henry's law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. Graham's law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. Therefore, Henry's law and Graham's law are both related to the diffusion of gases and are part of Fick's law.

    Which of the following is not one of the four factors which may change Laminar to Turbulent flow?

    • A.

      High Gas Flows

    • B.

      Changes in Diameter

    • C.

      Volume of Solution

    • D.

      Branching of tubes

    Correct Answer
    C. Volume of Solution
    Explanation
    The volume of solution is not one of the four factors that may change laminar to turbulent flow. Laminar flow refers to smooth and orderly flow, while turbulent flow is characterized by chaotic and irregular motion. Factors that can cause laminar flow to transition to turbulent flow include high gas flows, changes in diameter, and branching of tubes. However, the volume of solution does not have a direct effect on the transition from laminar to turbulent flow.

    Define Suspension.

    • A.

      A solution in which a solute can not be dissolved

    • B.

      The substance which is dissolved in a solution

    • C.

      Homogenous mix of 2 or more substances in equal proportions.

    • D.

      The principal kicking you out of school.

    Correct Answer
    A. A solution in which a solute can not be dissolved
    Explanation
    Suspension refers to a solution in which a solute cannot be dissolved. In a suspension, the solute particles are larger and do not dissolve completely in the solvent. Instead, they remain suspended throughout the solution, giving it a cloudy or opaque appearance. This is different from a solution where the solute particles are smaller and evenly distributed in the solvent, resulting in a clear and homogeneous mixture. In a suspension, the solute particles may settle at the bottom over time and can be separated by filtration.

    Vaporization is NOT dependent upon...

    • A.

      Vapor Pressure of Agent

    • B.

      Temperature of environment

    • C.

      Amount of carrier gas used

    • D.

      Density of Agent

    Correct Answer
    D. Density of Agent
    Explanation
    Vaporization is the process of converting a substance from its liquid or solid state into a gas. It is primarily dependent on the vapor pressure of the agent, which is the pressure exerted by the vapor of a substance in equilibrium with its liquid or solid phase at a given temperature. The temperature of the environment also plays a crucial role as it affects the energy available to break the intermolecular forces and allow the substance to vaporize. The amount of carrier gas used can affect the rate of vaporization but is not a determining factor. However, the density of the agent does not directly impact the vaporization process.

    Which statement is NOT TRUE about water?

    • A.

      It is considered to be the universal solvent

    • B.

      Heat increases density

    • C.

      Cooling increases density

    Correct Answer
    C. Cooling increases density
    Explanation
    Water is known as the universal solvent because it has the ability to dissolve a wide range of substances. Heat decreases the density of water, causing it to expand and become less dense. However, cooling water increases its density, causing it to contract and become more dense. Therefore, the statement "Cooling increases density" is true, and the correct answer is "None of the statements are untrue" or "All of the statements are true."

    At room temp (20 C ) and at sea level the pressure reading on your O2 tank is 750 psi. There is a drastic change in temperature and now your tank reads 1275 psi. What temperature is it?

    • A.

      30 C

    • B.

      34 C

    • C.

      12 C

    • D.

      40 C

    Correct Answer
    B. 34 C
    Explanation
    Charles Law. V1 / T1 = V2 / T2
    (750)/ (20) = (1275) / (T2)
    I prefer to cross multiply and switch the equation up so it reads as such. P1 x T2 = P2 x T1 (750 ) (T2) = (1275) (20)
    (750) (T2) = 25, 500
    25, 500 / 750 = T2 = 34

      Occurs when the density of a solution is decreased, and the radius is small

    Correct Answer
    D. Occurs when the density of a solution is decreased, and the radius is small
    Explanation
    Turbulent flow is not caused by a decrease in solution density and a small radius. Turbulent flow occurs when there is a high flow rate, rough surfaces or obstacles in the system, and a high Reynolds number (>2000). It is characterized by a chaotic, random, and tumbling pattern of fluid motion.
