The ability for a given substance, the solute, to dissolve in a solvent.
Solubility
Measured in terms of maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium.
Solubility
The resulting solution is called
Saturated solution
Gas over a liquid at a particular temp
Henry's Law
At at a particular temperature the amount of a given gas dissolves in a given liquid is directly proportional to other partial pressure of the gas in equilibrium with the liquid
Henry's Law
Particularly relevant to scuba divers
Henry's Law
as you increase the pressure linearly for a gas dissolving in a liquid a proportional amount of gas will dissolve in a liquid
Henry's Law
Build up saturation of nitrogen, when you resurface to quickly, it comes out of solution in the jts and tissue, this is
The Bents or The Caisson's
Henry's Law only applies for
constant temperatures
as temperature increases gases dissolve
less
Pressure independent function
Ostwald solubility Coefficient
as the ratio of the amount of substance present in one phase compared with another, the two phase being equal volume and equilibrium
Partition Coefficients
Which gas is more soluble in the blood:gas coefficients?
N2O, ether, halothane
What are there bld:gas coefficients
Ether (12)
Halothane(2.3)
N20(0.47)
The greater the insolubility
(more equilibrium or speed)
the quicker induction rate
Advantage of N20
has a quicker induction rate
Disadvantage of N20
can lead to diffusion hypoxemia (reverse of 2nd gas effect)
tx: extubate with 100% o2
more soluble=more potent
oil:gas coefficient (effect)
less anesthetic to achieve desired clinical effect
potency
more insoluble=quicker induction rate
bld:gas coefficient(equilibrium or speed)
which gas is more potent in bld
Ether
which gas is more potent than ether
Halothane
on the log scale with gas is most potent on pg 7
methoxytilurane
Oxygen dissolves in blood at
0.003cc/100cc/mmHg partial pressure
C02 dissolves in blood at
0.067cc/100cc/mmHg partial pressure
rate of change of a quantity of any time is proportional to the quantity at that time
exponential process
process by which the molecules of a substance transfer through a layer or area such as the surface of a solution
Diffusion
smaller molecules diffuse
faster
rate of diffusion of a substance across a unit area is proportional to the concentration gradient
fick's law
this is affected by solubility of gas diffusing into liquid medium
rate of diffusion
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide rates of diffusion are different therefore more likely to become
hypoxemic
Do liquid or gases take longer to diffuse
liquids
Diffusion Rate= Reciprocal of the square root of the molecular weight
Graham's Law
what is Graham's law equation
1/√MW
1 divided by the square root of MW=molecular wt
