Oxygen content of air
Objective: To measure the percent of oxygen in air and the percent of oxygen in an exhale of a breath
Hypothesis: Air has more oxygen content in it rather than the exhale of a human breath.
Procedure:
Wash hands to remove oils
Obtain 2 samples of steel wool (.7g each)
Expose one sample of the wool to 35mL of vinegar solution for 1 minute
Remove the wool from the solution and shake it to remove the vinegar
Place the steel wool in a syringe.
Put the plunger in the syringe at the 28mL mark
Place the syringe a 250mL beaker that is slightly filled with water
Pull the plunger until the water reaches the 0mL mark
Record observations every three minutes of the water level
Fill a balloon with the exhale from breath
Put 100mL of water in the balloon and shake for 5 minutes
Place the other sample of steel wool in another 35mL vinegar solution for one minute and clean it
Put the steel wool in another syringe and then release the air from the balloon into the syringe
Repeat steps 6 - 9 with this syringe.
Data and observations: (THE GRAPH WILL GO HERE!!!!!)
Conclusion: The oxygen combined with the steel wool in both syringes. This is apparent because rust was formed on both samples. The water came up to the 5.5mL mark on the syringe with the air in it, while the syringe with the breath only reached 4.5mL. Therefore, concluding that the oxygen content of air is higher than the oxygen content in a human breath.
Albertson’s Brand Condensed Chicken Noodle Soup has many different ingredients within the steel container. These ingredients are as follows: Water, enriched egg noodles (enriched wheat flour [niacin, ferrous sulfate, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid] , eggs) chicken, salt, modified corn starch, chicken fat, dextrose, soybean oil, monosodium glutamate, soy protein isolate, natural flavoring, garlic powder, beta carbonate, sodium phosphate, paprika, and onion concentrate.
Thiamine mononitrate, also known as Vitamin B, is a white crystalline powder. It has a positive reaction. The Chemical formula is C12H17N5O4S. “Thiamine Mononitrate is stable for at least 36 months when stored in the unopened container. It is stable in acid solutions at a pH less than 4.0 but deteriorates rapidly in neutral or alkaline solutions, especially when exposed to air. Moisture and contact with metal accelerates oxidation and reduction.
Step 4:Make sure the person holds the clothespin between their thumb and index finger and squeeze until the two ends meet.
the food sample on fire, once it catches, immediately place the small chamber on top with the rod,
2. Clean the surface of a 20 cm strip of magnesium ribbon using steel wool
Enriched Air Nitrox is often used in scuba diving, to reduce the proportion of nitrogen in the breathing gas mixture. Reducing the proportion of nitrogen by increasing the proportion of oxygen reduces the risk decompression sickness for the same dive profile. (see Appendix 2) Nitrox also allows for extended dive times without the need for decompression stops. (see Appendix 3) One of the more significant aspects of this application is the extended no-stop time when using the Nitrox mixtures. The exact values of the extended no-stop times vary on the decompression table used to derive the tables used for the no-stop times, varying on the percent Nitrox used. It is based on the partial pressures of nitrogen at the dive depth. This principle can be used to calculate an equivalent air depth with the same partial pressure as nitrogen. This depth is less than the actual dive depth for oxygen enriched mixtures. Nitrox is not a safer gas than the alternative, compressed air, in all aspects. Although it ...
Current Oxygen Device- The patient was intubated and was being mechanically ventilated and oxygenated via cuffed Endo-tracheal tube of size 4.0 mm as the patient weighed 10.5 kg (appropriate for the weight), which was secured on the left side at 13.0 cm at the gum (12 cm at the lips) (3 × 4 (ETT size) = 12 cm) with set FiO2 of 40% and PEEP of 5 cmH2O. A self-inflating Ambu bag and a mask were present at the bedside.
Mr. James Saunders is a 36 year old male who has been admitted with exacerbation of his asthma. It has also been noted that his respiratory rate appears moderately fast at 28 breaths per minute. In Mr. Saunders medical history it has been noted that he has struggled with disease for his whole life. He is presenting a degree of shortness of breath which he states as usual for him. Reflecting on this analysis, Mr. Saunders will require a respiratory assessment for further analysis and for diagnosis.
VO2 max is defined as the maximum volume of oxygen that can be consumed per minute as a measure of fitness (Marlin). To accurately measure VO2 max a maximal amount of physical effort will be needed to fully tax the aerobic energy system. Exercise intensity will be increased while measuring ventilation and oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration of the the inhaled and exhaled air. VO2 max is achieved when oxygen consumption remains at steady state despite an increase in work intensity. Those who are deemed fit will have a higher VO2 max. Proper exercise and training can influence your VO2 max while age can cause your vo2 max to decrease. The mean value of VO2 max for male athletes is estimated at 3.5 litres/ minute and for a female athlete is about 2.7 litres/minute these number are referred to as the absolute value. Physical limitations and physiological factors will affect the Vo2 max testing. Using the modified Bruce protocol and analysis the results, Dr. Burt Staniar and Abby Hughes determined their respective VO2 maxes. VO2 max is reported
The rubber tube was connected to the water aspirator to form a vacuum suction which would help filter the pure aspirin out. By the 25-mL of chilled distilled water added to the flask would break up crystal lumps utilizing the stirring rod. The filter paper was moistened by adding 2-mL of chilled distilled water after applying the filter paper to the Büchner funnel and turn on the aspirator. The reaction mixture was then gradually added to the Büchner funnel and the water aspirator was disconnected. Then 15-mL of chilled distilled water was added to the Büchner funnel and the aspirator was turned on for 15 minutes and was disconnected when the crystals looked
Have you ever wondered how breathing works? I have found out from over time that working your lungs can build your ability to breathe better during a workout. My science fair project is about your lung capacity and how it can change. I think it would be fascinating to find out what your own lung capacity is, and you can do that by measuring it with a balloon. I believe that learning more about your lung capacity will help to explain why athletes breathe better than non-athletes.

Please explain the physiologic concepts surrounding composition of alveolar versus atmospheric gas. The composition of atmospheric gas includes almost all N2 and O2 which is different than alveolar gas. Alveolar gas includes more CO2 and H2O, and less O2. The physiologic concepts that explain this difference is because of:
The respiratory system is a complex organ structure of the human body anatomy, and the primary purpose of this system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood vessels to carry the precious gaseous element to all parts of the body to accomplish cell respiration. The respiratory system completes this important function of breathing throughout inspiration. In the breathing process inhaling oxygen is essential for cells to metabolize nutrients and carry out some other tasks, but it must occur simultaneously with exhaling when the carbon dioxide is excreted, this exchange of gases is the respiratory system's means of getting oxygen to the blood (McGowan, Jefferies & Turley, 2004).
Increases in carbon dioxide and decreases in oxygen result in respiratory acidosis, or a decrease in pH of the blood, while decreases in carbon dioxide and increases in oxygen result in respiratory alkalosis, or an increase in blood pH (Workman, 2016). The metabolic component looked at by the arterial blood gas test is the amount of bicarbonate in the blood. Bicarbonate works with the hydrogen ions to balance pH, and decreases in bicarbonate can create metabolic acidosis while an increase in bicarbonate can result in metabolic
Ascertaining the adequacy of gaseous exchange is the major purpose of the respiratory assessment. The components of respiratory assessment comprises of rate, rhythm, quality of breathing, degree of effort, cough, skin colour, deformities and mental status (Moore, 2007). RR is a primary indicator among other components that assists health professionals to record the baseline findings of current ventilatory functions and to identify physiological respiratory deterioration. For instance, increased RR (tachypnoea) and tidal volume indicate the body’s attempt to correct hypoxaemia and hypercapnia (Cretikos, Bellomo, Hillman, Chen, Finfer, & Flabouris, 2008). The inclusive use of a respiratory assessment on a patient could lead to numerous potential benefits. Firstly, initial findings of respiratory assessment reveals baseline data of patient’s respiratory functions. Secondly, if the patient is on respiratory medication such as salbutamol and ipratropium bromide, the respiratory assessment enables nurses to measure the effectiveness of medications and patient’s compliance towards those medications (Cretikos, Bellomo, Hillman, Chen, Finfer, & Flabouris, 2008). Thirdly, it facilitates early identification of respiratory complications and it has the potential to reduce the risk of significant clinical
Carbon Dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas that occurs in small quantities in the earth's atmosphere naturally. The earth's ocean, soil, plants and animals release CO2. The formula of Carbon Dioxide is CO2. The CO2 molecule contains 2 oxygen atoms that each share 2 electrons with a carbon atom to form 2 carbon - oxygen double bonds. The atoms are arranged as so (OHT). This is called a 'linear molecule'.
