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.

Answer:

Manganese decreases from 4+ to 2+ (reduced and oxidizing agent) and nitrogen increases from 2+ to 5+ (oxidized and reducing agent).

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given redox reaction, we rewrite it as a convenient first step:

2NO + 3MnO_2 + 4H^+ \rightarrow 2NO_3^- + 3Mn^{2+} + 2H_2O

Next, we assign the oxidation numbers as follows:

2N^{2+}O^{2-} + 3Mn^{4+}O^{-2}_2 + 4H^+ \rightarrow 2(N^{5+}O^{2-}_3)^- + 3Mn^{2+} + 2H^+_2O^{2-}

Thus, we can see that both manganese and nitrogen undergo a change in their oxidation number, the former decreases from 4+ to 2+ (reduced and oxidizing agent) and the latter increases from 2+ to 5+ (oxidized and reducing agent).

Regards!

Hydrochloric acid reacts with calcium to form hydrogen and calcium chloride. if 100 grams of hydrochloric acid reacts with 100 g
natita [175]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

2HCl + Ca = CaCl2 + H2

We are given the amount of the reactants to be used for the reaction. These values will be the starting point of our calculations.

100 g HCl ( 1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl ) = 2.74 mol HCl

100 g Ca ( 1 mol Ca / 40.08 g ) = 2.08 mol Ca

From the reaction, the mole ratio of the reactants is 2:1 where every 2 moles of hydrochloric acid, 1 mole of calcium is required. Therefore, the limiting reactant for this case is calcium.
