<span>I think the pKa for acetic acid is about 4.74. Therefore Acetic
acid/acetate buffer will work best at 4.74 +/- 1 pH unit and so the pH 8 is far
removed from that. Hence it would not buffer at that pH at all.</span>
C. Is the answer for sure
Answer: A low pCO2 indicates respiratory alkalosis which may be primary or secondary to a primary metabolic acidosis. Bicarbonate is calculated from measured [H+] and pCO2 values. A high standard [HCO3- ] indicates either primary metabolic alkalosis or a compensatory response to a primary respiratory acidosis.
Explanation: an increase in PCO2 causes a decrease in pH, which will increase minute ventilation and therefore increase alveolar ventilation to attempt to reach homeostasis. The higher the minute ventilation, the more exchange and loss of PCO2 will occur inversely.
The correct answer is <span>C. You cannot view live specimens because the necessary preparation kills cells. </span>
The answer is pretty self-explanatory. Unlike it, regular microscopes can view living creatures such as bacteria or similar.
