The kidneys will excrete increased quantities of acid.

Explanation:

The kidneys will excrete excess H+ ions in the blood (remember H+ ions are responsible for acidity) until the acid-base balance is restored in the blood. Bicarbonates, on the other hand, will be aggressively  reabsorbed by the renal tubules as the excess H+ are being excreted.

The acid base balance is mainly determined by the quantities of H⁺ and HCO₃⁻ ions in teh blood. These ions come from the dissociation of carbonic acid formed when carbon dioxide from tissues is dissolved in blood plasma.

5. A gas occupies 2000. Lat 100.0 K and exerts a pressure of 100.0 kPa. What volume will
Anna [14]

Answer:

4000 L

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This include the following:

Initial volume (V1) = 2000 L.

Initial temperature (T1) = 100 K.

Initial pressure (P1) = 100 kPa.

Final temperature (T2) = 400 K.

Final pressure (P2) = 200 kPa.

Final volume (V2) =..?

Step 2:

Determination of the new volume of the gas.

The new volume of the gas can be obtained by using the general gas equation as follow:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

100 x 2000/100 = 200 x V2/400

Cross multiply to express in linear form.

100 x 200 x V2 = 100 x 2000 x 400

Divide both side by 100 x 200

V2 = (100 x 2000 x 400)/(100 x 200)

V2 = 4000 L

Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 4000 L

Starting in the mouth, food follows a pathway through the digestive system. Describe how the mouth is involved in both mechanica
Rudiy27

Answer:

The mouth uses both mechanical and chemical digestion. Mechanical digestion involves physically breaking down the food into smaller pieces (using the jaw/teeth). However, chemical digestion then takes over and starts breaking down the food into simpler nutrients that can be used by the cells using saliva, which is naturally made within the mouth.

Hope this helps you! Have a great day! :D

What’s the correct answer
Fed [463]
The correct answer is: 
_________________________________________________________
    " F  and Br , because they are in the same group" .
_________________________________________________________
Note:
_________________________________________________________
Choice [B]:  "F and Br ; because they are in the same period" ; is incorrect; since  "F" and "Br" are not in the same "period" (that is, "row").
______________________________________________________
Choice [C]:  "Na and Mg; because they are in the same group {"column"} ;  is incorrect; since:  "Na" and "Mg are NOT in the same group {"column"].
_______________________________________________________
Choice [D]:  "Na and Mg" ; because they are in the same period {"row"}; is incorrect.  Note:  "Na" and "Mg" are, in fact,  in the same period {"row"}. However, as aforementioned, {Mg and Na} are not in the same group {"column".}.  

Note:  The similiarities in physical and chemistry properties among elements are determined and organized — or tend to be so—by "groups" {"columns"} — NOT by "periods" {rows}.
