Which one would be expected to happen? If one of the buffers that contribute to pH stability in human blood is carbonic acid (H2

CO3). Carbonic acid is a weak acid that when placed in an aqueous solution dissociates into a bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) and a hydrogen ion (H+). Thus, H2CO3 HCO3- + H+ If the pH of the blood increases.
(A) A decrease in the concentration of HC03- and an increase in the concentration of both H2CO3 and H2O
(B) An increase in the concentration of H2CO3 and a decrease in the concentration of H2O
(C) An increase in the concentration of HCO3- and a decrease in the concentration of H2O
(D) A decrease in the concentration of H2CO3 and an increase in the concentration of H2O
(E) A decrease in the concentration of HCO3- and an increase in the concentration of H2O

Answer:

Option (D) is definitely the answer.

Explanation:

Before going further, it is important to know what buffers and pH represent, which are keywords to answering this question.

Buffers is a special solution that can withstand or resist changes due to pH levels which may be as a result of an introduction of acidic or basic components into the blood. In other words, they maintain the stability of pH level in the human blood.

pH blood levels on the other hand, can be grouped into three: acidity, neutrality and alkalinity. Using a pH scale, one can determine its current level. In the human blood the pH level is near neutral and needs to be on a level near 7.4 in order to avoid a high rise or a drastic fall even if acidic or basic components come in or departs the blood stream.

Therefore, if one of the buffers that contributes to pH stability in human blood is carbonic acid, which is as a result of a combination of carbon dioxide and water in the blood stream. On getting to the lungs it is converted to water and subsequently released as waste. Maintaining this stability will definitely be to decrease the concentration of carbonic acid and increase that of water instead.

A 800N mountain climber scales a 160m cliff. How much work is done by the mountain climber?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Work done, W = 128 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of a mountain climber, F = 800 N

It climbs to a cliff that is 160 m high.

We need to find the work done by the mountain climber. The work done by an object is given by the formula as follows :

W = Fd

Put the values of F and d.

W = 800 N × 160 m

W = 128000 J

or

W = 128 kJ

So, 128 kJ of work is done by the mountain climber.

Which parts of atoms can interact (react) to form chemical bonds?
EastWind [94]
The valence electrons are the parts of an atom that make interactions and make chemical bonds.
Every atom is made of three different components, a positively charged proton, neutrally charged neutron and negatively charged electron. The protons and the neutrons make up the atom's core and the electrons orbit around that core.
The electrons that orbit around the atom's core in its outer-most orbit (the one that is the furthest from the atom's core) can interact with electrons of other atoms, forming different kinds of chemical bonds.
If there is an exchange of the electrons (one atom donates its electrons to another atom), that results in forming of ions, then those two atoms can be linked in an ionic bond.
If an electron is shared between two atoms, then that bond is called a covalent bond.
