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.

How many moles of helium are needed to fill a balloon to a volume of 5.3 L at 22 ℃ and 632 mmHg?
son4ous [18]

Answer:

0.18 moles

Explanation:

Applying,

PV = nRT................... Equation 1

Where P = pressure, V = volume, n = number of moles, R = molar gas constant, T = temperature.

make n the subject of the equation

n = PV/RT............... Equation 2

Given: V = 5.3 L, T = 22 °C = (22+272) K = 295 K, P = 632 mmHg = (0.00131579×632) = 0.8316 atm,  R = 0.083 L.atm/K.mol

Substitute these values into equation 2

n = (0.8316×5.3)/(0.083×295)

n = 0.18 moles
