________is when the kidneys produce too much hydrogen or retain too much hydrogen which leads to an increase in carbonic acid pr
Setler [38]

Metabolic acidosis is when the kidneys produce too much hydrogen or retain too much hydrogen which leads to an increase in carbonic acid production. Or the kidneys excrete too much base.

<h3>What is metabolic acidosis?</h3>
  • The primary function of the kidney is to purge toxins from the blood and convert waste products into urine.
  • Around 160 grams of weight and one to one and a half litres of urine are excreted daily by each kidney.
  • When the kidneys do not properly eliminate acids from the blood into the urine, renal tubular acidosis (RTA) ensues.
  • The result is an excessively high blood acid level, or acidosis.
  • While having some blood acid is natural, having too much acid can cause numerous biological functions to become unbalanced.
  • When there is too much acid in the body's fluids, it is called acidosis.
  • When your kidneys and lungs are unable to maintain a healthy pH level in your body, acidosis results.
  • Acid is created by numerous bodily activities.

The concentration of N2 in blood at 37 °C (body temperature) and atmospheric pressure (partial pressure of N2 = 0.80 atm) is 0.0
devlian [24]

Answer:

volume  = 0.285 L

Explanation:

Henry constant is given as

Henry constant  =  \frac{C}{P}

Where C  is concentration

P is atmospheric pressure

Henry\ constant = \frac{0.00056}{0.80} = 0.0007 M/atm

when atmospheric pressure 4 atm

solubility = K_H\times P

              = 0.0007 \times 4 = 0.0028 M

In 5 litere blood , moles of N_2 = Molarity \times volume

                                                     = 0.0028 \times 5 = 0.014

At surface moles  = 0.0056 \times 5 = 0.0028

Moles of N_2 release = 0.014 - 0.0028 = 0.0112

Mass of N_2 = 0.0112 \times 28 = 0.314 g

T = 37 + 273 = 310 K

VOLUME = \frac{nRT}{P}

= \frac{0.0112\times 0.0821\times 310}{1}

volume  = 0.285 L
