Many different gases are useful in treatment. N2O gas is one of them and is used as a common anesthetic in dentistry. Explain how it is mixed with other gases and used as an anesthetic.

Expert Solution

N2O Nitrous oxide is also called as laughing gas is used as an anaesthetic for surgery. It is colourles, odourles gas. It was used alone in the early 18th century afterwards they started using this with ether or chloroform as Nitrous oxide alone was not efiicient for surgery. so Gas- ether inhaler invented by clover came into use which gave mixture of Nitrous oxide and ether in gaseous before giving stronger aneashesia this clover instrument helped in giving correct mixture of ether and Nitrous oxide. Modern anaesthesia instruments are more advanced still they use the same principal of clover gas ether inhaler. starting with Nitrous oxide and then administering more heavy anaesthetic.

Hydrogen gas is a very useful reagent with many uses in the petroleum, food, and chemical industries. Most hydrogen exists in covalently bonded molecules, and atmospheric air contains less than 1 ppm of diatomic hydrogen. Therefore, hydrogen gas is produced on a large scale for these uses, where steam reforming with methane and electrolysis of water are two of the primary methods. The more economic reaction of steam reforming is the reverse of the reaction depicted in Carbon Monoxide and...

Many radioactive isotopes are used in medicine for imaging and treatment purposes. The specific isotopes used depends on the particular organ or body system being studied (for example, Xe-133 is used to image lung function and blood flow.) For thyroid imaging, isotopes of iodine are used, commonly I-123 and I-131, which have half-lives of 13.2 hours and 8.0 days, respectively. Why is iodine used for thyroid imaging (as opposed to any other element)? I-129 is an extremely rare isotope of...
