Hydrogen ion secretion leads to bicarbonate ions reabsorption in order to maintain proper blood pH balance. Hydrogen ion secreti

Chemistry

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is transported by the blood in the dissolved form. carbonic anhydrase is the enzyme which is a metalloenzyme having zinc at active site converts carbon dioxide into carbonic acid which dissolves in the blood.

Thus,  

H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g) ⇔ H⁺(aq) + HCO₃²⁻(aq)

The kidneys in the body help to control the acid base balance. The hydrogen ion secretion in the body leads to the generation and reabsorption of the bicarbonate ions to form carbon dioxide in order to nullify the effect of the acid generated and thus the pH of the blood is maintained.

Which property of a liquid increases with increasing temperature?
Nina [5.8K]
When temperature of liquid is increased, liquid gets thinner and thinner and hence it's viscosity decreases.

Density = mass/volume.

As we increase the temperature, volume of the liquid starts to increase but mass of the liquid remains constant. As a result, density of liquid decreases.

Hope this helps!

Why is the electron in a Bohr hydrogen atom bound less tightly when it has a quantum number of 3 than when it has a quantum numb
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: An electron having a quantum number of one is closer to the nucleus

Explanation:

The Bohr model relies on electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and orbital electron. Hence, the closer an electron is to the nucleus the more closely it is held by the nucleus and the lesser its energy (the more stable the electron is and the more difficult it is to ionize it). The farther an electron is from the nucleus ( in higher shells or energy levels), the less the electrostatic attraction of such electron to the nucleus due to shielding effect. Hence it is less tightly held.
