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.

A student drew a diagram of the quantum model of an atom, as shown. A small circle is shown. Six light gray spheres and six dark
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The diagram is incorrect because there is only a single type of particle at the center of the atom.

Explanation:

The small circle at the centre of the sphere which contains six light gray spheres and six dark gray spheres represents the nucleus of the atom which is found at the centre of the atom.

The nucleus contains only one type of particle which is the proton. Hence the representation of two particles at the centre of the circle makes the model incorrect.

Write the balanced molecular chemical equation for the reaction
Ierofanga [76]

The balanced molecular chemical equation for the reaction will be expressed as Cs₂CO₃ + Mg(NO₃)₂ -> 2CsNO₃ + MgCO₃

  • For any chemical equation to be balanced, the number of moles of elements in the reactants must be equal to that of the product.

  • According to the question, we are to write a balanced equation for the reaction  in aqueous solution for cesium carbonate and magnesium  nitrate
  • The chemical formula for Cesium carbonate is Cs₂CO₃
  • The chemical formula for magnesium  nitrate is Mg(NO₃)₂

Hence the balanced molecular chemical equation for the reaction will be expressed as Cs₂CO₃ + Mg(NO₃)₂ -> 2CsNO₃ + MgCO₃

What is the mass of sodium (Na) in 50 grams of table salt (NaCl)? Show your work.
Margaret [11]

Answer:

19 g

Explanation:

Data Given:

Sodium Chloride (table salt) = 50 g

Amount of sodium (Na) = ?

Solution:

Molecular weight calculation:

NaCl = 23 + 35.5

NaCl = 58.5 g/mol

Mass contributed by Sodium = 23 g

calculate the mole percent composition of sodium (Na) in sodium Chloride.

Since the percentage of compound is 100

So,

Percent of sodium (Na) = 23 / 58.5 x 100

Percent of sodium (Na) = 39.3 %

It means that for ever gram of sodium chloride there is 0.393 g of Na is present.

So,

for the 50 grams of table salt (NaCl) the mass of Na will be

mass of sodium (Na) = 0.393 x 50 g

mass of sodium (Na) = 19 g
