An individual is hospitalized and the initial blood work indicates high levels of HCO_{3} ^{-} in the blood and a pH of 7. 47. This would indicate the individual probably has compensated respiratory acidosis.

A chronic illness usually leads to compensated respiratory acidosis because the kidneys have time to adjust to the delayed onset. Even if the PCO_{2} is elevated in a compensated respiratory acidosis, the pH is within the usual range.

The kidneys counteract a respiratory acidosis by increasing the amount of HCO_{3} that tubular cells reabsorb from the tubular fluid, the amount of H^{+} that collecting duct cells secrete while also producing HCO_{3} , and the amount of NH_{3} buffer that is formed through ammoniagenesis.

Respiratory acidosis is frequently brought on by hypoventilation as a result of: breathing depression , paralysis of the respiratory muscles, diseases of the chest wall , abnormalities of the lung parenchyma and abdominal squeezing.

You must make 1 L of 0.2 M acetic acid (CH3COOH). All you have available is concentrated glacial acetic acid (assay value, 98%;
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is "11.44 ml".

Explanation:

Molarity,

= 0.2 M

Density,

= 1.05 g/ml

Volume,

= 1 L

As we know,

⇒  Molarity=\frac{No. \ of \ moles }{Volume \ of \ solution}

or,

⇒  No. \ of \ moles=Molarity\times Volume

On putting the values, we get

⇒                         =0.2\times 1

⇒                         =0.2 \ moles

Now,

⇒  No. \ of \ moles=\frac{Mass \ taken}{Molecular \ mass}

or,

⇒  Mass \ taken=No. \ of \ moles\times Molecular \ mass

⇒                      =0.2\times 60.05

⇒                      =12.01 \ gram

hence,

⇒  Density= \frac{Mass }{Volume}

or,

⇒  Volume=\frac{Mass}{Density}

⇒                =\frac{12.01}{1.05}

⇒                =11.44 \ ml

How many molecules are in 7V205?​
elixir [45]

Answer:

Calculate the number of moles you have by taking the Mass / molar mass. if you have 1000 grams ; then 1,000 g / 151.001 g/mol = X g moles. Then multiply by Avogadros # = 6.022140857 × 10^23 molecules per g mole. The result is the # of molecules of MnSO4
