Micky Mo is a 64-year-old male admitted to the emergency room for asthma. His laboratory results are as follows: pH 7.31, pCO2 h

igher than normal, and total HCO3– also higher than normal. Classify his acid-base balance as acidosis or alkalosis, and as metabolic or respiratory. Is there evidence of compensation?

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.

Answer:

Explanation:

What you know is that the electrical energy comes from the wind turbine. Therefore the x must identify the type of energy that the wind turbine represents.

It must represent mechanical energy because blades of  the wind turbine turns to produce electrical energy.

How to find how many atoms are in grams.
professor190 [17]

Explanation:

To calculate the number of atoms in a sample, divide its weight in grams by the amu atomic mass from the periodic table, then multiply the result by Avogadro's number: 6.02 x 10^23.

Suppose you are trying to find the identity of an unknown pure substance. The valence electrons of the substance's atoms feel an
Vika [28.1K]

Answer: Correct option is (D).

Explanation:

Given that unknown element has larger atomic radii than potassium atoms and its valence electrons feel an effective nuclear charge of +1 which means that this unknown element belongs to group(I) of the periodic table.

In periodic table:

  • As we move down the group the value of ionization energy decreases down the group. This is due to increase in the size of an element.With increase in size valence electrons gets far away from the nucleus by which less energy will require to ionize the element.
  • Electronegative characters also decreases when we move down the group.This is due to increase in size of an element by which electrons present in valence shells are far away from the nucleus.

So,It would have lower ionization energies than K and a lower electronegativity value than K.
