Which scientist discovered the neutron?

Consider the calorimetry equation. Using the information in the following problem, set up the equation and include the correct units. *You do not need to solve the problem to set up the equation.  A student finds that the energy transferred to the water from the hot metal Iron rod is 3.14 Joules. The change in temperature of the rod was -9.87 Kelvin. The mass of the Iron rod was 7.04 grams.   *This question will be hand graded

Consider the polyatomic ion Chlorite. Determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in this ion when Cl-37 is used. Fill in the chart.  Total Protons = [p] Total Neutrons = [n] Total Electrons = [r] **Enter a numerical value only. No words.

Preanalytical errors can be prevented by:   Removing air from samples immediately   Placing the sample on ice for at least 20 minutes   Discarding frothy samples   Avoiding use of the femoral artery

Calculate the new anion gap and provide an interpretation of the results. 

For use in ABG syringes, the recommended form of heparin is:

Results of a room air ABG are pH 7.52, PaCO2 10 mmHg, PaO2 153 mmHg. A potential explanation for these values is:

Froth present in an arterial blood gas sample is indicative of:

Potential preanalytical sampling errors include:   Air bubbles in the sample   Venous admixture   Continued metabolism   Improper use of heparin

While do you initial ventilator check on a 6-year-old child you recognize that an infant sidestream capnography adapter was placed in the circuit. This would cause:
