Answer:

Most likely a mixed acidosis

Explanation:

Mixed acidosis is when you have metabolic acidosis and respiratory acidosis, the concentration of bicarbonate, that must be between 19.1 and 24.7, is 15, so it is below the lesser  value. The partial pressure of carbon dioxide should be between 28.3 and 38.7, and client's partial pressure of carbon dioxide is slightly above the upper limit. Finally, pH sould be between 7.39 and 7.47, and client's pH is below the lesser limit. This all means that the blood is too acid.

How does the difference in electronegativity values determine the type of bond that occurred? Ionic or covalent
Alenkasestr [34]
The more electronegativity atom attracts electrons more strongly and gains a slightly negative charge, the less electronegative atom has a slightly positive charge.

Suppose that 3.33 g of acetone at 25.0 °C condenses on the surface of a 44.0-g block of aluminum that is initially at 25 °C. If
jeyben [28]

Answer:

68.6 °C

Explanation:

From conservation of energy, the heat lost by acetone, Q = heat gained by aluminum, Q'

Q = Q'

Q = mL where Q = latent heat of vaporization of acetone, m = mass of acetone = 3.33 g and L = specific latent heat of vaporization of acetone = 518 J/g

Q' = m'c(θ₂ - θ₁) where m' = mass of aluminum = 44.0 g, c = specific heat capacity of aluminum = 0.9 J/g°C, θ₁ = initial temperature of aluminum = 25°C and θ₂ = final temperature of aluminum = unknown

So, mL = m'c(θ₂ - θ₁)

θ₂ - θ₁ = mL/m'c

θ₂ = mL/m'c + θ₁

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

θ₂ = 3.33 g × 518 J/g/(44.0 g × 0.9 J/g°C) + 25 °C

θ₂ = 1724.94 J/(39.6 J/°C) + 25 °C

θ₂ = 43.56 °C + 25 °C

θ₂ = 68.56 °C

θ₂ ≅ 68.6 °C

So, the final temperature (in °C) of the metal block is 68.6 °C.

Which graph represents what happens to the solubility of baco3 as hno3 is added?
slavikrds [6]
If we have in mind the following procedure:
BACo3(s) + H +1  -> Ba +2  + HCO3 -1
CO3 - 2 + H+1 -> HCO3  -1 
As nitric acid is added then {CO3 -2 } decreases meaning that more BaCo3 can dissolve. The graph you need to use is the one that the curve goes down and closer to solubility and goes up on conc.
