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.

Answer:

Reducing sugars are absent

Explanation:

Benedict's solution is an substance used in testing sugars. It is mixture of sodium carbonate, sodium citrate and copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate. It can be used instead of Fehling's solution in testing for the presence of reducing sugars.

Reducing sugars contain the -CHO group. If there is no colour change after the addition of Benedict's solution, then we can conclude that reducing sugars are absent.

3. What is the mass of HI used to create 2.50L of a 0.48 M solution of hydroiodic acid?
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Mass = 153.48 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of solution = 2.50 L

Molarity = 0.48 M

Mass required = ?

Solution:

Molarity = number of moles / volume in litter

Number of moles = Molarity × volume in litter

Number of moles = 0.48 M  × 2.50 L

Number of moles =  1.2 mol

Mass of HI:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Mass = Number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.2 mol × 127.9 g/mol

Mass = 153.48 g
