Answer:
b. potassium.
Explanation:
Potassium-sparing diuretics and salt substitutes are diuretics that eliminate salt and water but save potassium. They act by inhibiting the conducting sodium channels in the collecting tubule, such as amiloride and triamterene, or by blocking aldosterone, such as spironolactone.
Concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics together with salt substitutes may result in dangerously high blood levels of serum potassium. For this reason, it is important to consult a physician before taking these substances at the same time to avoid potential problems with potassium accumulation.
The initial concentration of the unknown acid is 0.1900 M.
Explanation:
Titration is a chemical method of analysis to know the concentration and volume of the unknown chemical or analyte.
The formula for the titration is:
Macid x Vacid = Mbase x V base
The volume must be in litres. The volume is given in ml it should be divided with 1000 to obtain values in litre.
Data given are:
volume of acid= 10 ml 0.01 L
Molarity of the acid = ?
volume of the NaOH or base = 15.4 ml or 0.0154 L (equivalence point of the base)
molarity of the base = 0.1234 M
Applying the formula and putting the values, we get
Macid x 0.01 = 0.1234 x 0.0154
Macid = 0.1900 M
The weak acid is having molarity of 0.1900 M against the strong base with molarity of 0.1234M.
