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.

An identified risk factor for osteoporosis is the intake of excessive amounts of vitamin A. Dietary intake of approximately double the recommended daily amount of vitamin A, by women, has been shown to reduce bone mineral density and increase the chances for hip fractures compared with women who consumed the recommended daily amount (or less) of vitamin A.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
