Which acid-base imbalance would be caused by overaccumulation of co2 in the blood?

1 answer:

4 0

This phenomenon is called respiratory acidosis. Carbon dioxide is acidic in nature. So, when there is an overaccumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood, it becomes acidic. The pH lowers and the partial pressure of carbon dioxide increases. This occurs during periods of hypoventilation.

The negatively charged particles of an atom are the

posledela

Answer:

Electron: A negatively charged particle found circling or orbiting an atomic nucleus. An electron, like a proton is a charged particle, although opposite in sign, but unlike a proton, an electron has negligible atomic mass. Electrons contribute no atomic mass units to the total atomic weight of an atom.

Write a net ionic equation to show that acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), hc9h7o4, behaves as a brÃ¸nsted-lowry acid in water.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

By definition, Bronsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor in the acid-base neutralization reaction. When a weak acid like acetylsalicylic acid is reacted with water, the water here acts as the Bronsted-Lowry base. This is possible because water has properties of amphoterism - can act as an acid or base. In this case, acetylsalicylic acid would have to donate its H+ atom to water, so that it would yield a hydronium ion, H₃O⁺. The complete net ionic reaction is shown in the picture.

So, in the reaction, the products yield are the acetylsalicylate ion and the hydronium ion.
