Which statement is true regarding carbonic acid (H 2CO 3)? If body fluids are too alkaline, carbonic acid is excreted through th

e respiratory system in the form of carbon dioxide and water. If body fluids are too alkaline, carbonic acid is retained through the respiratory system in the form of carbon dioxide and water. If body fluids are too acidic, carbonic acid is retained through the respiratory system in the form of carbon dioxide and water. If body fluids are too acidic, carbonic acid is excreted through the respiratory system in the form of carbon dioxide and water.

Answer:

the correct option is : If body fluids are too acidic, carbonic acid is excreted through the respiratory system in the form of carbon dioxide and water.

Explanation:

Metabolic acidosis is compensated by two systems, the renal and respiratory systems.

In the case of the respiratory system, the mechanism it uses to compensate for this phenomenon is to release the carbonic acid molecule dissociated into its components, that is, in the form of water and carbon dioxide.

The greater the acidosis, the more hyperventilation the person will have, and this is because they seek to eliminate carbonic acid more efficiently and quickly, along with renal excision.

The metabolic acidosis generated by carbonic acid is lethal, since the proteins in our body are denatured and the homeostasis of all systems is corrupted.

A 62.6-gram piece of heated limestone is placed into 75.0 grams of water at 23.1°C. The limestone and the water come to a final
VMariaS [17]
M₁ = mass of water = 75 g
T₁ = initial temperature of water = 23.1 °C
c₁ = specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C

m₂ = mass of limestone = 62.6 g
T₂ = initial temperature of limestone = ?
c₂ = specific heat of limestone = 0.921 J/g°C

T = equilibrium temperature = 51.9 °C
using conservation of heat
Heat lost by limestone = heat gained by water
m₂c₂(T₂ - T) = m₁c₁(T - T₁)
inserting the values
(62.6) (0.921) (T₂ - 51.9) = (75) (4.186) (51.9 - 23.1)
T₂ = 208.73 °C
in three significant figures
T₂ = 209 °C

Ou have a 5 ml sample of a protein in 0.5 m nacl. you place the protein/salt sample inside dialysis tubing (see fig. 2-14) and p
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Procedure (2)  

Explanation:

Assume the dialyses come to equilibrium in the allotted times.

Procedure (1)

If you are dialyzing 5 mL of sample against 4 L of water, the concentration of NaCl will be decreased by a factor of

\dfrac{5}{4000} = \dfrac{1}{800}

Procedure (2)

For the first dialysis, the factor is

\dfrac{5}{1000} = \dfrac{1}{200}

After a second dialysis, the original concentration of NaCl will be reduced by a factor of  

\dfrac{1}{200} \times \dfrac{1}{200} = \dfrac{1}{40000}

Procedure (2) is more efficient by a factor of  

\dfrac{40000}{800} = \mathbf{50}

Which atom would it be most difficult to remove an electron from
Norma-Jean [14]
I would be difficult to remove an electron from a Noble or Inert Gas (also known as the group 8 or 0 elements).  This is because they all have filled outermost shells and as such the outermost shell would be held tightly to the nucleus and as such make it difficult to remove.  Examples Helium, Neon, Argon, Xenon, Krypton and Radon

1. Provide a definition of an Arrhenius acid and an Arrhenius base. What has science determined to be the limitations of these d
lara [203]

Answer:

See Explanation ( = same answer for earlier question)

Explanation:

The Arrhenius acid-base theory defines an acid as a compound which when added into water increases the hydronium ion (H₃O⁺) concentration and the base as a compound which when added into water increases the hydroxide (OH⁻) ion concentration. As such, an acid-base reaction is limited to proton transfer to only OH⁻ ions forming water. Such would imply that all acid-base reactions produce water only in addition to a salt. This is not always the case as conjugate base anions for many substances can receive proton transfer.

Example: The reaction HOAc + NaCN => HCN + OAc-  will occur in aqueous media because the proton (H⁺) on acetic acid (HOAc) will transfer to the cyanate ion forming hydrocyanic acid (HCN). Such occurs because the CN⁻ ion is a stronger conjugate base than the acetate ion (OAc⁻) and forms the more stable weak acid.  Such is the basis of the Bronsted-Lowry Acid-Base system and states that an acid (proton donor) will transfer its ionizable hydrogen to a conjugate base (proton acceptor) if the transfer forms a weaker acid.
