An element is an atom or group of the same type of atom in a concentrated, pure form. A molecule is a group of atoms that aren't all necessarily the same type of element. For example, in a sample of elemental iron, every atom in the sample will be an iron atom whereas in table salt, NaCl, half of the atoms are sodium atoms and the rest are chlorine atoms. Atoms are composed of a nucleus which has neutrally charged neutrons and  positively charged protons, surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. Number of electrons and neutrons may vary from atom to atom of the same element, but the number of protons in the atom determine what element it is.

IRISSAK [1]

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.

Which is the average kinetic energy of the individual particles of a substance?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: Temperature

Explanation: Temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy of particles in an object. The hotter the substance, higher is the average kinetic energy of its constituent particles. When we heat a substance, the particles that constitute the substance gain some energy and begin to move faster.

When someone opens a bottle of carbonated drinks, the pressure inside the bottle decreases.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

When you open the bottle, there is a dramatic decrease in pressure over the liquid, so the CO2 starts to leave the liquid very rapidly, causing the mass exodus of gas, or "explosion" of bubbles. This also explains why soda goes flat.
