How do buffers work in the human body?

Chemistry

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.

g All of the molecules below have polar bonds but only one of the molecules is a polar molecule. Which one is a polar molecule?
lbvjy [14]

Answer: NF_3

Explanation:

Geometrical symmetry of the molecule and the polarity of the bonds determine the polarity of the molecule.

The molecule that has zero dipole moment that means it is a geometrically symmetric molecule and the molecule which has some net dipole moment means it is a geometrically asymmetric molecule.

As the molecule is symmetric, the dipole moment will be zero as dipole moments cancel each other and the molecule will be non-polar.

As the molecule is asymmetric, the dipole moment will not be zero and the molecule will be polar.

Example: NF_3

Thus, we can say that NF_3 is a polar molecule.

I need the answers to this and to see if what I put is right so far
klemol [59]

1) B+3 is ok. The exercise already put B+3. What

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) Ge is a neutral atom because it doesn't have any charge.

Germanium has 32 electrons and 32 protons because its atomic number is 32.

Be careful with that.

Neutral atoms have the same numbers of electrons and protons.

Select the correct answer.
rewona [7]
We can use the formula P=IV to calculate the current, where “P” is power (measured in watts), “I” is current (measured in Amps), and “V” is voltage. Simply plug and solve:

P = IV
(3.5 Watts) = I(120 volts)
I = 0.0292 Amps

The current flowing through the bulb is approximately 0.0292 Amps.

Hope this helps!
