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.

An unknown diprotic acid (H2A) requires 44.391 mL of 0.111 M NaOH to completely neutralize a 0.58 g sample. Calculate the approx
Anna [14]

Answer:

M=235.42g/mol

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, given this is an acid-base neutralization and we are considering a diprotic acid, we can write the following mole-mole relationship:

2n_{acid}=n_{base}

It means that the moles of acid can be computed given the volume and concentration of NaOH:

n_{acid}=\frac{M_{base}V_{base}}{2} =\frac{0.044391L*0.111mol/L}{2} \\\\n_{acid}=2.46x10^{-4}mol

It means that the approximate molar mass of the acid is:

M=\frac{m_{acid}}{n_{acid}} \\\\M=\frac{m_{acid}}{n_{acid}} =\frac{0.58g}{2.46x10^{-3}mol}\\\\M=235.42g/mol

Best regards!

Write a double replacement precipitation reaction A precipitate forms when aqueous solutions of nickel(II) chloride and silver(I
harkovskaia [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The balanced chemical equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which exchange of ions takes place.

AB+CD\rightarrow CB+AD

Precipitation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an insoluble salt is formed when two solutions are mixed containing soluble substances. The insoluble salt settles down at the bottom of the reaction mixture.

When nickel (II) chloride reacts with silver (I) nitrate, it leads to the formation of white precipitate of silver chloride and an aqueous solution of nickel (II) nitrate.

The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction follows:

NiCl_2(aq.)+2AgNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2AgCl(s)+Ni(NO_3)_2(aq.)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aqueous solution of nickel (II) chloride reacts with 2 moles of aqueous solution of silver (I) nitrate to produce 2 moles of solid silver chloride and 1 moles of aqueous solution of nickel (II) nitrate

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.
