Answer:
<em>C: After 1 hour, the pH of the solution in the PEPCID AC beaker was 9.2 and the pH of the solution in the Alka-Seltzer beaker was 8.3</em>
Explanation:
The degree of acidity or alkalinity/basicity of a substance is its pH. The value of pH ranges from 1 to 14 with the former being extreme acidity and the latter being extreme alkalinity while pH 7 is considered neutral.
Hence, any pH below 7 is considered acidic and above 7 is considered alkaline.
Reactions involving equal volumes of an acid and a base can end in acidic, alkaline or neutral pH depending on the strength of the acid/base involved;
- Equal volumes of strong acid with strong base will result in neutral pH
- Equal volumes of weak acid with strong base will result in alkaline pH
- Equal volume of strong acid with weak base will result in acidic pH
If substance A and B reacts with equal volume of the same acid under the same condition and the end result of A is a solution with pH of 9.2 and that of B is a pH of 8.3, it simply means substance A is a stronger base than substance B.
<em>Hence, the only outcome that supports the hypothesis that a tablet of PEPCID AC can neutralize more stomach acid than a tablet of Alka-Seltzer is that the pH of the solution in the PEPCID AC beaker was 9.2 and the pH of the solution in the Alka-Seltzer beaker was 8.3 after being subjected to the same condition.</em>
If an indigestion is due to excess stomach acid, the only way to reduce the acidity is to consume a substance that will decrease the degree of acidity in the stomach. This means that the patient will need to consume something that is alkaline in order to increase the pH.
The reading of the blood pH value of 6.4 indicates a health issue because of the pH value. It is because the concentrations of H+ ions in the body becomes 10 times more than the usual level in the body.
The pH of the blood becomes less than 7.35 due to enhanced production of hydrogen ions by the body or the incapability of the body to produce bicarbonate ions in the kidney, the condition is known as metabolic acidosis that eventually results in acidemia.
D. Your body stores it as insulin
The primary consumers like rabbits or other small animals that are normally eaten by the secondary consumers (snakes) would over populate and eat all of the producers (plants) and the plants would die out. This would eventually lead to the decrease of the primary consumer (rabbit/small animals) population.
Answer:
Fungi
Explanation:
Fungi is a eukaryotic organism that is re-evaluating its position in the tree of life.
Fungi are closely related to the animal kingdom in comparison to the plant kingdom. Because of the presence of the chitin in their cell walls, fungi is different from plant, bacteria, and protists. But fungi have cell wall while animal cells do not contain cell wall, so not classified as animals.
So, fungi is re-evaluating its position in the tree of life and in present there is a individual kingdom for fungi.
