| alveolar gas equation | The equation defining the steady state relation of the alveolar oxygen pressure to the barometric pressure, inspired gas composition, alveolar carbon dioxide pressure, and respiratory exchange ratio; the equation is used in various forms depending upon which simplifying assumptions are acceptable for different applications. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arrhenius equation | This equation expresses the logarithmic relationship between the rate constant of a reaction and the reciprocal of the temperature (expressed in K). (09 Oct 1997) |
| Bohr's equation | An equation to calculate the respiratory dead space from the fact that gas expired from the lungs is a mixture of gas from the dead space and gas from the alveoli, i.e., the dead space volume divided by the tidal volume equals the difference between alveolar and mixed expired gas composition, divided by the difference between alveolar and inspired gas composition; gas composition can be expressed in any consistent units of concentration or partial pressure of oxygen or carbon dioxide.

| boltzmann equation | <radiobiology> Fundamental equation in kinetic theory which describes the evolution of the distribution function. (See also Vlasov equation.) The actual equation is given in most texts covering plasma kinetic theory. (09 Oct 1997) |
| van't Hoff's equation | Equation for osmotic pressure of dilute solutions. See: van't Hoff's law. For any reaction, d(ln Keq/d(1/T) equals -dH/R where Keq is the equilibrium constant, T the absolute temperature, R is the universal gas constant, and dH is the change in enthalpy; thus, plotting ln Keq vs. 1/T allows the determination of dH.
