To increase the solubility of the anesthetic within the injection carrier solution, clinicians convert lidocaine to a salt by reacting it with:A.KOHB.Na2CO3C.HClD.LiCl

Lidocaine, a widely used local anesthetic, is available as a 1.0 %/wv solution for injection.Calculate the volume of this solution that contains 60. mg of lidocaine. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and is rounded to the correct number of significant digits.

Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that is used during invasive procedures like surgery, needle punctures, or insertions of catheter or breathing tubes. The maximum dose of lidocaine is 4.5 mg/ kg body weight. What is the maximum volume of a 1% (m/v) lidocaine solution that can be injected into a Filipino patient (average weight of a Filipino man is 46 kg).

Lidocaine is injected into infected tissue with a pH of 6.5. At the injection site, one would expect:A.higher [R3N]/[R3NH+] ratioB.increased duration of actionC.slower onset of actionD.increased R3NH+ diffusion rate across the membrane

Which structural change to lidocaine will increase its efficacy as an anesthetic?A.propyl amine groups instead of ethyl amine groups at the β positionB.1° β amineC.2° β amineD.Addition of a hydroxyl group to the aromatic ring
