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.

The teacher shows students a pictorial model of an atom. Which element is
frutty [35]

Answer:

C. Fluorine because the model has 9 protons which is represented by the atomic number

Explanation:

We usually identify an element by the number of protons in them. The number of protons is the atomic number of an atom.

  • Every atom has a specific number of protons in them.
  • This number of protons is the atomic number.
  • According to the periodic law, atoms are arranged on the periodic table based on their atomic number.
  • The given fluorine atom has 9 protons which represents the atomic number of the atom.
  • This way, the given number clearly shows the right model for identifying the chemical specie.

The charges and sizes of the ions in an ionic compound affect the strength of the electrostatic attraction holding that compound
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

order = SrS > SrCl2 > RbCl > CsBr

Explanation:

Comparison of the melting points of compounds is basically dependent on the charge on their cation and anion, the more the charges on the cation and anion, the stronger and greater the force of attraction and as such the melting point will be relatively higher as well.

The ionic radii is also another factor to be considered, the more the distance between ions, the lesser the bond strength and the lesser the melting point.

from the options, in terms of ionic radii SrS > SrCl2 and RbCl > CsBr

also both SrS and SrCl2 have more charges on their ions compared to RbCl and CsBr and as such the arrangement of the highest melting point will be in the order SrS > SrCl2 > RbCl > CsBr.
