Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) are a group of substances that reduce blood clotting by reducing the action of vitamin K. They are used as anticoagulant medications in the prevention of thrombosis, and in pest control, as rodenticides. 1  1 Mechanism of action.  2 Coumarins (4-hydroxycoumarins)
Calculate the average atomic mass of oxygen. Solution: ((15.994915*99.757) + (16.999132*0.038) + (17.999160*0.205))/100 = 15.999405 . Using our equation for determining average atomic mass, we see that the average atomic mass for oxygen is 15.999405 amu. If we check the periodic table, we will see that our average atomic mass is the same as the atomic mass indicated on the element oxygen. Ã
About 98.5% of the oxygen in a sample of arterial blood in a healthy human breathing air at sea-level pressure is chemically combined with the Hgb. About 1.5% is physically dissolved in the other blood liquids and not connected to Hgb.lood accounts for 7% of the human body weight, with an average density of approximately 1060 kg/m 3, very close to pure water's density of 1000 kg/m 3. The average adult has a blood volume of roughly 5 litres (11 US pt), which is composed of plasma and several kinds of cells.
