Find the oxidation states of Cr in $[\text{Cr(H}_2\text{O)}_6]\text{Cl}_3$, $[\text{Cr(C}_6\text{H}_6)_2]$, and $\text{K}_2[\text{Cr(CN)}_2(\text{O})_2(\text{O}_2)(\text{NH}_3)]$ respectively.
$[\text{Cr(H}_2\text{O)}_6]\text{Cl}_3$: H$_2$O is neutral, Cl$^-$ is $-1$, complex has charge 3+. So Cr = +3.
$[\text{Cr(C}_6\text{H}_6)_2]$: Benzene is a neutral ligand (0 charge). Complex is neutral. So Cr = 0.
$\text{K}_2[\text{Cr(CN)}_2(\text{O})_2(\text{O}_2)(\text{NH}_3)]$: K$^+$ gives $+2$ outside; complex ion has $-2$ charge. CN$^-$ ($-1$ each, $2\times-1=-2$); O$^{2-}$ ($-2$ each, $2\times-2=-4$); O$_2^{2-}$ (peroxo, $-2$); NH$_3$ (0). Let Cr = $x$: $x + (-2) + (-4) + (-2) + 0 = -2 \Rightarrow x - 8 = -2 \Rightarrow x = +6$.
Oxidation states: +3, 0, +6.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) β Diagnostic criteria in children:
- Blood glucose \(>11\,\text{mmol/L}\) (or known DM)
- pH \(<7.3\) or bicarbonate \(<15\,\text{mEq/L}\)
- Ketonemia/ketonuria
Severity classification:
| Severity | pH | HCOβ |
|---|---|---|
| Mild | 7.20β7.29 | 10β15 |
| Moderate | 7.10β7.19 | 5β9 |
| Severe | <7.10 | <5 |
This child: pH 7.14, HCOβ 10 = Moderate-Severe DKA
Management (ISPAD/BSPED guidelines):
- Fluid resuscitation FIRST (not insulin first): \(10{-}20\,\text{mL/kg}\) of 0.9% NaCl over 1β2 hours if shocked
- Replace fluid deficit over 24β48 hours with 0.9% NaCl
- Start insulin infusion: \(0.05{-}0.1\,\text{units/kg/hr}\) IV (NEVER bolus in children β risk of cerebral edema)
- Add dextrose to IV fluid when BG \(\leq 14\,\text{mmol/L}\)
- Monitor for cerebral edema (most feared complication β headache, bradycardia, \(\downarrow\) consciousness)
Bicarbonate is NOT recommended in pediatric DKA β worsens cerebral edema.
Le Corbusier's Five Points of a New Architecture (1927):
- Pilotis β columns lifting the building off the ground β
- Free plan β open floor plan enabled by structural columns β
- Free facade β non-load-bearing exterior walls β
- Horizontal windows (ribbon windows) β long panoramic windows β
- Roof garden (flat roof with terrace garden) β
Exposed concrete (bΓ©ton brut) is associated with Brutalism (a later movement). Le Corbusier used it but it's not one of the original Five Points.
