Multiple choice

A patient is given a dose of a drug that is absorbed into the bloodstream at a constant rate of $r$ milligrams per hour. The drug is eliminated from the body at a rate proportional to the amount of drug in the bloodstream. If the initial amount of drug in the bloodstream is $Q_0$ milligrams, what is the maximum concentration of the drug in the bloodstream?

  1. $Q_{max} = \frac{r}{k}$
  2. $Q_{max} = \frac{r}{2k}$
  3. $Q_{max} = \frac{r}{3k}$
  4. $Q_{max} = \frac{r}{4k}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The maximum concentration of the drug in the bloodstream is given by $Q_{max} = \frac{r}{k}$. This can be obtained by solving the differential equation $\frac{dQ}{dt} = r - kQ$ for $Q$.

Multiple choice

What is the pH of a buffer solution?

  1. The pH of a buffer solution is equal to the pKa of the weak acid.

  2. The pH of a buffer solution is equal to the pKb of the weak base.

  3. The pH of a buffer solution is equal to the average of the pKa and pKb of the weak acid and weak base.

  4. The pH of a buffer solution can be calculated using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The pH of a buffer solution can be calculated using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation: pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA]), where [A-] is the concentration of the conjugate base and [HA] is the concentration of the weak acid.
