A patient presents to the emergency department in a critical condition. The patient’s blood was tested and the concentration of carbonic acid (H2CO3) was found to be 4.0×10-4 M and bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) 3.062×10-3 M. Ka = 4.3 × 10-7 H2CO3(aq) ⇌ HCO3-(aq) + H+(aq) Show all calculations including equation(s) used. Calculate the pH of the patients’ blood. Based on your answer would you say the patient is suffering from Acidosis or Alkalosis

After three minutes, the concentration of drug Zip in the red blood cells is 10 mmoles l-1. What is the average rate of entry of drug Zip into the red blood cells in units of moles min-1 red blood cell-1 during the first three minutes after placing the red blood cells into the bathing solution? Assume that each red blood cell occupies about 1 x 10-13 liters.
Plasma or serum LDL-Cholesterol (LDL-C) can be calculated by determining concentrations of total plasma (serum cholesterol (T-C), HDL-Cholesterol (HDL-C) and total plasma (serum) triglycerides(TG) using Friedewald equation: LDL-C = (T-C) - (HDL-C) - TG/5. What is the scientific basis for this equation? What are the limitations of this equation?
