Answer is: They can help prevent a deadly change in blood pH.

A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H⁺ in a solution.

Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable.  

The normal pH in the mammals arterial blood is between 7.35 and 7.50, so acidosis occurs when arterial pH falls below 7.35. Acidosis is a process causing increased acidity (increased hydrogen ion or proton H⁺ concentration) in the blood and other body tissues.


Alkalosis occurs at a pH over 7.45.

In the reaction fecl2 + 2naoh fe(oh)2(s) + 2nacl, if 6 moles of fecl2 are added to 6 moles of naoh, how many moles of fecl2 woul
pychu [463]
The balanced chemical reaction would be 

<span>fecl2 + 2naoh =  fe(oh)2(s) + 2nacl

Initial amounts of the reactants are given, so, we need to determine which of the reactants is the limiting reactant and use this amount to determine what is asked. However, what is being asked is how many of the FeCl2 is used in the reaction, showing that it is NaOH that is the limiting reactants. Thus, we just use the initial amount of NaOH and relate the substances by the chemical reaction as follows:

6 mol NaOH ( 1 mol FeCl2 / 2 mol NaOH ) = 3 mol FeCl2

Therefore, 3 moles of FeCl2 is used up and 3 moles of FeCl2 is also left after the reaction.</span>

A 2.00 L sample of gas at 35C is to be heated at constant pressure until it reaches a volume of 5.25 L. To what Kelvin temperatu
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The sample will be heated to 808.5 Kelvin

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume before heating = 2.00L

Temperature before heating = 35.0°C = 308 K

Volume after heating = 5.25 L

Pressure is constant

Step 2: Calculate temperature

V1 / T1 = V2 /T2

⇒ V1 = the initial volume = 2.00 L

⇒ T1 = the initial temperature = 308 K

⇒ V2 = the final volume = 5.25 L

⇒ T2 = The final temperature = TO BE DETERMINED

2.00L / 308.0 = 5.25L / T2

T2 = 5.25/(2.00/308.0)

T2 = 808.5 K

The sample will be heated to 808.5 Kelvin
