Which buffer system is found in the human body?

Chemistry
1 answer:
aivan3 [116]3 years ago
8 0

The correct answer is the bicarbonate buffer system.  

The bicarbonate buffer system refers to an acid-base homeostatic mechanism taking part in the balance of bicarbonate ion, carbonic acid, and carbon dioxide in order to sustain the pH in the duodenum and blood, among other tissues, to support the entire metabolic activities.  

The bicarbonate buffer system plays a vital role in the human body systems. In the duodenum and the stomach, the bicarbonate buffer system functions to both neutralize gastric acid and steady the intracellular pH of epithelial cells through the secretion of bicarbonate ion into the gastric mucosa.

A 2.026g sample of a hydrate of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is heated to remove water. After heating, the mass of the sample is 0.
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

62.98 % of the sample of hydrate is water

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the sample of a hydrate of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) = 2.026 grams

After heating, the mass of the sample is 0.750 g

Molar mass H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate mass of water

Mass water = mass of hydrate - mass of sample after heating

Mass water = 2.026 grams - 0.750 grams

Mass water = 1.276 grams

Step 3: Calculate mass % percent of water

Mass % of water = (mass of water / total mass hydrate) * 100 %

Mass % of water = (1.276 grams / 2.026 grams) *100 %

Mass % of water = 62.98 %

62.98 % of the sample of hydrate is water

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Final concentrations:

Cu²⁺ = 0

Al³⁺ = 3.13 mmol/L = 84.51 mg/L

Cu = 4.7 mmol/L = 300 mg/L

Al = 0.57 mmol/L = 15.49 mg/L

Explanation:

2Al (s) + 3Cu²⁺ (aq) → 2Al³⁺ (aq) + 3Cu (s)

Al: 27 g/mol ∴ 100 mg = 3.7 mmol

Cu: 63.5 g/mol ∴ 300 mg = 4.7 mmol

3 mol Cu²⁺ _______ 2 mol Al

4.7 mmol Cu²⁺ _____ x

x = 3.13 mmol Al

4.7 mmol of Cu²⁺ will be consumed.

3.13 mmol of Al will be consumed.

4.7 mmol of Cu will be produced.

3.13 mmol of Al³⁺ will be produced.

0.57 mmol of Al will remain.

An unknown compound has the following chemical formula: Mg_xCl_2
Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

number of moles magnesium = 6.80mol

number of moles of chlorine = 13.56mol

To find the complete chemical formula, we should obtain the formula of the compound.

                                Mg                            Cl

Number of

moles                      6.8                           13.56

Dividing

by the smallest      6.8/6.8                    13.56/6.8

                                    1                                2

  The formula of the compound is MgCl₂

This is an ionic compound in which Magnesium loses two electrons that would be gained by Cl atoms requiring just an electron each to complete their octet.
