the horizon. Suddenly Adam’s world felt more suffocating than anything else, even though attached to his mouth was a perfectly functioning oxygen generator. The black mask engulfed his nose and mouth then narrowed into a smaller tube that extended to the pack that he carried upon his back, no larger than a medium knapsack, attached to his grey jumpsuit. The oxygen generator now felt like it might swallow him whole. Adam may…
that his body is not receiving enough oxygen. - ABG: Uncompensated respiratory alkalosis with hypoxia. Prabha is having 36 respirations per minute which is classified has hyperventilation. The lungs are offloading CO2 and unable to pick up and deliver oxygen. -Sinus tachycardia and pulse of 124, signs that the body is trying to compensate for hypoxemia.…
It occurs when oxygen levels decrease, which causes pH levels to rise and become alkaline. With respiratory alkalosis, the PCO2 is less than 35…
Moreover, you will cast more than one shadow when all three suns are in the sky! There could even be up to three shadows! The largest sun is Clotho whereas the two smaller stars are Lachesis and Atropos. These names are from the three Fates in Greek mythology that oversee the allegorical strands of life. For instance, Clotho spins our lifelines, Lachesis weaves the thread into the tapestry of our lives, and Atropos cuts the strings. Gnaritus is a Goldilocks planet in that it is just right…
The power of the human mind is limitless and cannot be measured in any shape or form. It has the power to create and innovate unimaginable structures and formulas. It has the power to learn and adapt from failure and to think outside the box. On the other hand, nature has the capability of being either: calm and beautiful or destructive and vicious. Nature is the most destructive force the humanity has ever seen, even more, powerful than an atomic bomb. So what happens when these two forces…
Imagine waking up every single morning and going to bed every single night knowing outside is toxic and unlivable. The only way people are even alive right now is that they are breathing through a gas mask to filter all the chemicals in the air. Visualize walking outside and all that could be seen is massive mountains of toxic garbage and pollution. That is what the future will be like if we do not start taking care of our home “the Earth”! Global warming causes many types of natural disasters.…
3Na2SO4 + 6CO2 + 5N2. This shows that Sodium Nitrate is reacting with Carbon/Charcoal and Sulfur to form Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Sodium Carbonate, and Sodium Sulfate. In gunpowder, the Sodium Nitrate is decomposed at a high temperature to produce oxygen for the gunpowder reaction. Since the Sodium Nitrate is able to…
AHHHH CHOO-DOEPHEDRINE Although, originally defined as the chemistry of biological structures, organic chemistry has since been redefined to refer specifically to organic (carbon based) molecules. The hydrocarbon is the very basic molecule of organic chemistry and by adding functional groups to the hydrocarbon we can manipulate the properties of the molecule. Through the manipulation of these organic compounds, organic chemistry can be used to chemically synthesise many products such as soaps,…
Do you dare to go out without masks? Many people in China will answer “No.” Rapid industrial development of China has improved people’s standard of living. However, it also brings some unwanted side effects, such as air pollution and water pollution. In order to develop industries, the consumption of fossil fuels increases. Burning of fossil fuels emits lots of air pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon dioxide, and other particles. Private cars and other vehicles also…
Ding dong. I rushed towards the door as soon as I heard the whistling sound of the doorbell. My neighbor and my best friend stood tall at the door with a soccer ball resting on his hips against his palms, inviting me to play soccer as he did every day. Once the fiercely hot burning sun started to set and the sky turned from bright yellow to a delightful mixture of orange and pink, I tied down my soccer shoes and rushed towards the ground with him, inviting our other friends on our way. We got…
