Term
Boyle's Law
Definition
At a Constant Temperature, the volume of a given mass of gas varies inversely with the absolute pressure

V=1/P

V1P1=V2P2
Term
Charles Law
Definition
At constant pressure the volume of a given mass varies directly with the temperature.

V=T or V/T=k

V1/T1=V2/T2
Term
Gay Lussac's Law
Definition
At constant Volume, the absolute pressure of a given mass varies directly with the absolute temperature

P=T

P1/T1=P2/T2
Term
Ideal Gas or Perfect Gas
Definition
Is Hypothetical
Consists of identical particles of zero volume
No intermolecular forces
Constituent atoms or molecules undergo perfectly elastic collisions with the walls of the container
Term
Combined Law
Definition
The product of the volume of a gas and its pressure over the temperature is equal to a constant.

PV/T=k

P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2
Term
Avagadro's Hypothesis
Definition
Equal volumes of gasses at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of particles.

Avagadros law together with the combined gas law forms teh ideal gas law
Term
Avagadro's Number
Definition
6.022x10^23 particles per mole
Term
Ideal Gas Law
Definition
PV=nRt
Term
Gas Constant (R)
Definition
8.314472 pa.m^3/mol.K

0.0821 L.atm/mol.K
Term
Dalton's Law
Definition
the total pressure exerted by a gaseous mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each individual component in a gas mixture.
Term
Critical Temperature
Definition
Temperature above which a substance cannot be liquified no matter how much pressure is exerted.
Term
N2O critical Temperature
Definition
36.5 C
Term
Adiabatic Heating
Definition
occurs when the pressure of a gas is increased
Term
Adiabatic Cooling
Definition
Occurs when the pressure of a gas is decreased
Term
Joule Thompson Effect is an example of what?
Definition
Adiabatic Cooling - cryoprobe
Term
Oxygen cylinder
Definition
Green 1900-2200 psi 660L
Term
Nitrous Oxide Cylinder
Definition
Blue 745psi 1590L (400L left when all liquid is gone)
Term
Air Cylinder
Definition
Yellow 1900 psi 625L
Term
Exponential Process
Definition
Rate of change of a quantity at any time is proportional to the quantity at that time
Term
Half Life
Definition
Time that it takes the quantity measured to reach 50%

t1/2=time constant x 0.693
Term
Time Constant
Definition
Time it takes for the process to end assuming the first rate of change continued
Term
Solubility
Definition
The ability for a given substance, the solute, to dissolve in a solvent. It is measured in terms of the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium. The resulting solution is called a saturated solution.
Term
Henry's Law
Definition
At a particular temperature the amount of a given gas dissolves in a given liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas in equilibrium with the liquid.
Term
Ostwald Solubility Coefficient
Definition
PRESSURE INDEPENDENT
Term
Partition Coefficient
Definition
the ratio of the amount of substance present in one phase compared with another, the two phases being of equal volume and equilibrium.
Term
Diffusion
Definition
Process by which the molecules of a substance transfer through a layer of area such as the surface of a solution
Term
Fick's Law
Definition
Rate of diffusion of a substance across a unit area is proportional to the concentration gradient
Term
Graham's Law
Definition
Diffusion rate is equal to the reciprocal of the square root of the molecular weight.
Term
Osmolarity
Definition
Moles per liter
Term
Osmolality
Definition
Moles per Kilogram
Term
Oncotic Pressure
Definition
osmotic pressure related to proteins
Term
Colligative Properties that are affected by osmolarity
Definition
Osmotic Pressure
Boiling point elevation
Freezing point depression
Vapor pressure reduction
Term
What in Anesthesia do Washout Curves apply?
Definition
Dye Dilution Technique
Thermodilution Technique (PA cath)
Cardiac Output L/Min
Measure Concentration of drugs in body
Nitrogen Washout Curve
Term
How Many Liters in one Mole
Definition
22.4 L
Term
What the the Nitrogen Washout curve a measure of?
Definition
FRC Functional residual capacity
Term
As temperature increases, do gases dissolve more or less?
Definition
Less
Term
What would an ideal anesthetic be like in regards to solubility, and partition coefficients?
Definition
Act quickly = highly insoluble in blood = low blood gas partition coefficient

Achieve anesthesia at very low concentrations = be very potent = highly soluble in fat(brain) = high oil gas partition coefficient.
Term
The amount of gas, which dissolves in a liquid, depends on 4 things:
Definition
The partial pressure of the gas,
The temperature of the liquid,
The nature of the gas,
The type of liquid.
Term
Equilibrium and Speed relate to what partition coefficient?
Definition
Blood-Gas Partition Coefficient
Term
What is true about highly insoluble gases?
Definition
Equilibrates quickly
Less Potent
Term

Definition
0.003cc/100cc/mmHg partial pressure
Term
Co2 dissolves in blood at what partial pressure?
Definition
0.067cc/100cc/mmHg partial pressure
Term

Definition
N20 = 1.4
Ether = 65
Halothane = 224
Term
