Answer:

Explanation:

a) The pH can be define as the measurement of the hydrogen or hydroxide ion concentration in a solution. The pH for blood is 7.4. In severe acidosis condition the pH of blood is 7.35 or lower.

b) Severe acidosis is a condition which is caused due to the overproduction of acid and building up of acid in the blood. This occurs due to the excessive loss of bicarbonate from the blood or buildup of carbon dioxide  in the blood. This leads to poor functioning of the lungs and depressed breathing.

The severe acidosis is critical condition because because it can adversely affect the cell membranes, muscle contraction, and function of the kidneys and neural activity of the body.

A sample of SO2 gas occupies 45.6 L at 373 K and 3.45 atm. This sample contains how many moles of oxygen atoms?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

10.28 mol

Explanation:

S + 2O = SO2

(atm x L) ÷ (0.0821 x K)

(3.45 x 45.6) ÷ (0.0821 x 373)

=5.13726

Then round it to significant figures

=5.14

5.14 mol SO2 x (2 mol O ÷ 1 mol SO2)

=10.28 mol O

yan [13]

Answer:

long range order

Explanation:

A crystal consists of atoms, ions or molecules having both short range and long range order. The atoms, ions or molecules are arranged in a regular pattern throughout the lattice both at immediate vicinities and across the entire crystal structure.

This order accounts for the definite shape and unique properties of crystals which include their sharp melting and boiling points which distinguishes them from amorphous substances.
