Using the Fick equation, calculate cardiac output if a person is consuming 1.41 L O2/min, has an arterial O2 content of 190 ml O2/L, and a venous O2 content of 25 ml O2/L.

Cardiac output (CO) = 8.54 l / min

Explanation:

Given:

Oxygen consumption (V) = 1.41 l O2/min

Oxygen in arterial (Ca) = 190 ml O2/L = 0.19 l O2/L

Oxygen in venous (Cv) = 25 ml O2/L = 0.025 l O2/L

Find:

Cardiac output (CO)

Computation:

Cardiac output (CO) = V / (Ca - Cv)

Cardiac output (CO) = 1.41 / (0.19 - 0.025)

Cardiac output (CO) = 8.54 l / min

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
