Page 14018 3) The second electron affinity of oxygen is positive, making the oxide not likely to form as a free ion. When oxygen gas reacts with potassium it forms the metal superoxide, while reaction of oxygen gas with lithium forms the metal oxide. a) What is the chemical formula of just superoxide? b) What is the chemical formula of potassium superoxide? c) Why does potassium form the metal superoxide but lithium forms the metal oxide? Give a complete explanation for this difference, using words (you may also include diagrams/drawings).

Ms. Tan came to the laboratory for blood tests because her physician suspected renal disease. The tests ordered were serum BUN, creatinine, and electrolytes. The blood specimen was obtained and processed. When the laboratory scientist received the serum to perform the tests, he noticed that the serum had a reddish tinge. What factor/s could cause this to happen to a serum specimen? 2. Is the sample acceptable for use? Elaborate your answer 3. What are the advantages of using plasma compared to serum in chemical analyses?
