Answer:

Micky Mo is suffering from respiratory acidosis.

Explanation:

The pCO2 level in micky"s body is higher than normal it means the excess amount of  CO2 will reacts with water to generate carbonic acid(H2CO3).

  On the other hand according to the question total HCO3- also higher than normal.As a result the excess HCO3- will react with proton to form carbonic acid which is in turn dissociate to generate CO2 and H2O to maintain normal acid base homeostasis.

 From that point of view it can be said Micky Mo is suffering from respiratory acidosis.

Periodic Table: Why are group 1A elements called alkali metals?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The elements in Group I of the periodic table are called alkali metals. They are called alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali solutions. These metals are very reactive; hence they have to be stored under oil to protect them from corrosion by air and waterwaterwater

For which of the following activities might you want to hire a chemist?
Basile [38]

Answer:

OPTION (A) : Testing a rock sample for gold content

Explanation:

For testing a rock sample of gold content you will need a Chemist. To test the material, the sample is rubbed on black stone which will leave a mark on the stone. This mark is tested by applying aqua fortis i.e nitric acid on the mark. If the mark gets dissolve then the material is not gold. If the mark sustain the it is further tested by applying aqua regia i.e nitric acid and hydrochloric acid which will prove the sample is of gold if it gets dissolve on using hydrochloric acid. The purity of the sample can be checked by differing the concentration of the aqua regia and comparing it with the gold material of the known purity.

Determine the mass of 9.2 x 10^18 molecules of dinitrogen tetroxide.
steposvetlana [31]

Answer: 1.4x10-3 g N2O4

Explanation: First convert molecules of N2O4 to moles using Avogadro's Number. Then convert moles to mass using the molar mass of N2O4.

9.2x10^18 molecules N2O4 x 1 mole N2O4 / 6.022x10²³ molecules N2O4

= 1.53x10-5 moles N2O4

1.53x10-5 moles N2O4 x 92 g N2O4/ 1 mole N2O4

= 1.4x10-3 g N2O4
