(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether knowing the plasma concentration of sodium ion tells about its concentration in the extracellular fluid (ECF) and intracellular fluid (ICF).

Introduction: The body fluid is divided into two compartments. The two body fluid compartments are ECF and ICF. ECF is the extracellular fluid, and ICF is the intracellular fluid.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether knowing the plasma concentration of potassium ion tells about its concentration in the extracellular fluid (ECF) and intracellular fluid (ICF) and the reason for this.

Introduction: Intracellular fluid is two-thirds of the total body fluid. The extracellular fluid is the buffer between the cells and the environment outside the body.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether knowing the plasma concentration of water tells about its concentration in the extracellular fluid (ECF) and intracellular fluid (ICF) and the reason for this.

Introduction: The body has two compartments: cells and the fluid that surrounds cells. The fluid compartment outside the cell is known as ECF, and the fluid compartment inside the cell is the intracellular fluid.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether knowing the plasma concentration of proteins tells about its concentration in the extracellular fluid (ECF) and intracellular fluid (ICF) and the reason for this.

Introduction: Plasma is the yellowish liquid matrix of the blood. Plasma carries water, salt, nad other material in the body. The main function of plasma is to transport hormones, nutrients, and proteins..

A 1500 mL bag of 0.9% NaCl needs to have 9 grams of vancomycin added. How much water should the vancomycin be dissolved in prior to addition to ensure the resulting solution is isotonic with plasma? (SCE 0.06)
Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃(s)) is an important building material (limestone) and a quick cure for acid indigestion (TUMS). Ksp = 8.7x10⁻⁹ for CaCO₃(s). What, if any, is the effect of lowering the pH (as occurs in acid rain and acid indigestion) on the solubility of CaCO₃(s). (hint: use Le Chatelier's principle) A) there is no effect from lowering pH on CaCO₃(s) solubility B) lowering pH increases the CaCO₃(s) solubility C) additional information is required to determine the outcome D) lowering the pH lowers the solubility
Muzolimine is a diuretic. Pure muzolimine (mp 127-129°C) is a crystalline solid at room temperature. Nifenazone is an analgesic. Pure nifenazone (mp 252-253°C) is a crystalline solid at room temperature. Which one of the following statement is correct? O A melting point of 212-217°C is consistent with a sample of nifenazone contaminated with a small quantity of muzolimine O A melting point of 212-217°C is not consistent with a sample of nifenazone contaminated with a small quantity of muzolimine
