Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
An electrochemical NO analyzer consists of three electrodes immersed in an electrolyte solution that contains a highly conductive concentrated acid or alkali solution. The electrodes are sepa-rated from the gas sample to be analyzed by a semipermeable membrane. NO and NO2, from the unknown gas sample, diffuse across a semipermeable membrane and react with the electrolyte solution near the sensing electrode. This generates electrons in the oxidation reaction: NO + 2H2O  HNO3 + 3H+ + 3e.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The accuracy of NO/NO2 electrochemical monitors can be altered by the presence of background gasessuch as CO2, CO, and NH2that have lower oxidation potentials than the sensor poten-tial.

Thanks for the timely response, appreciate it

 

Did you know?

Many of the drugs used by neuroscientists are derived from toxic plants and venomous animals (such as snakes, spiders, snails, and puffer fish).

Did you know?

Patients who have been on total parenteral nutrition for more than a few days may need to have foods gradually reintroduced to give the digestive tract time to start working again.

Did you know?

The human body's pharmacokinetics are quite varied. Our hair holds onto drugs longer than our urine, blood, or saliva. For example, alcohol can be detected in the hair for up to 90 days after it was consumed. The same is true for marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, methamphetamine, and nicotine.

Did you know?

In 1885, the Lloyd Manufacturing Company of Albany, New York, promoted and sold "Cocaine Toothache Drops" at 15 cents per bottle! In 1914, the Harrison Narcotic Act brought the sale and distribution of this drug under federal control.

Did you know?

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates’s recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth. However, overdosage of salicylates can harm body fluids, electrolytes, the CNS, the GI tract, the ears, the lungs, the blood, the liver, and the kidneys and cause coma or death.
