Answer:the correct option here is C

Explanation:

Ok, the correct equation for the reaction is given below;

H^+ + HCO3^- <------------> H2CO3.

This reaction do occur in the blood in the tissues.

THE REACTION STEPS:

(1). Carbondioxide, CO2 goes into the blood stream and combines with water to form the carbonic acid, H2CO3.

CO2 + H2O <------------------> H2CO3.

Although, this reaction reaction is slow, it is catalyzed by a protein enzyme, carbonic anhydrase in the red blood cells.

(2). The carbonic acid,H2CO3 dissociates into H^+ and HCO3^-

H^+ + HCO3^- <--------------> H2CO3.

The HCO3^- acts as buffer in the blood.

The Carbonic acid is then converted into Carbondioxide back for expulsion in the lungs.

Answer:

The tissue cells

Explanation:

I think you mean this

H^{+}+HCO^{3} ^{-}  H_{2}CO_{3}

It all starts from Carbondioxide. This Carbondioxide is dissolved in the blood and taken by red blood cell and converted into carbonic acid. It then dissociates to form a bicarbonate ion HCO^{3} ^{-} and a hydrogen ion H^{+}

This <--> means that the whole process is reversible. It is a buffer system to maintain the pH in the blood and duodenum. And also to support proper metabolic function.

An unknown compound, X is thought to have a carboxyl group with a pKa of 2.0 and another ionizable group with a pKa between 5 an
Westkost [7]

Answer:

7.3

Explanation:

By Henderson Hasselbalch equation we can calculate the pH or the pOH of a solution by its pKa. Remember that pH = -log[H^{+}], and pKa = -logKa. Ka is the equilibrium constant of the acid.

Henderson Hasselbalch equation :

pH = pKa - log \frac{[HA]}{[A^{-}]}

Where [HA] is the concentration of the acid, and [A^{-}] is the concentration of the anion which forms the acid.

So, acid X, has two ionic forms, the carboxyl group and the other one. First, we have 0.1 mol/L of the acid, in 100 mL, so the number of moles of X

n1 = (0.1 mol/L)x(0.1 L) = 0.01 mol

When it dissociates, it forms 0.005 mol of the carboxyl group and 0.005 mol of the other group. Assuming same  stoichiometry.

Adding NaOH, with 0.1 mol/L and 75 mL, the number of moles of OH^- will be

n2 = (0.1 mol/L)x(0.075 L) = 0.0075 mol

So, the 0.0075 mol of OH^- reacts with 0.005 mol of carboxyl, remaining 0.0025 mol of OH^-, which will react with the 0.005 mol of the other group. So, it will remain 0.0025 mol of the other group.

The final volume of the solution will be 175 mL, but both concentrations (the acid form and ionic form) have the same volume, so we can use the number of mol in the equation.

Note that, the number of moles of the acid form is still 0.01 mol because it doesn't react!

So,

6.72 = pKa - log \frac{0.01}{0.0025}

6.72 = pKa - log 4

pKa - log4 = 6.72

pKa = 6.72 + log4

pKa = 6.72 + 0.6

pKa = 7.3

A sample of gas contains 0.1800 mol of CO(g) and 0.1800 mol of NO(g) and occupies a volume of 23.2 L. The following reaction tak
baherus [9]

Answer:

The volume of the sample is 17.4L

Explanation:

The reaction that occurs requires the same amount of CO and NO. As the moles added of both reactants are the same you don't have any limiting reactant. The only thing we need is the reaction where 4 moles of gases (2mol CO + 2mol NO) produce 3 moles of gases (2mol CO2 + 1mol N2). The moles produced are:

0.1800mol + 0.1800mol reactants =

0.3600mol reactant * (3mol products / 4mol reactants) = 0.2700 moles products.

Using Avogadro's law (States the moles of a gas are directly proportional to its pressure under constant temperature and pressure) we can find the volume of the products:

V1n2 = V2n1

<em>Where V is volume and n moles of 1, initial state and 2, final state of the gas</em>

Replacing:

V1 = 23.2L

n2 = 0.2700 moles

V2 = ??

n1 = 0.3600 moles

23.2L*0.2700mol = V2*0.3600moles

17.4L = V2

<h3>The volume of the sample is 17.4L</h3>
