Chemistry

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.

Soloha48 [4]

The new pressure inside the syringe will be 1.25 atm

<h3>Gas law</h3>

At constant temperatures, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

Thus:   P1V1 = P2V2

In this case, P1 = 3.0 atm, V1 = 89.6 mL, V2 = 215 mL

P2 = P1V1/V2

                         = 3 x 89.6/215

                              = 1.25 atm

Consider dissolving sugar in water and magnesium sulfate in water. is any new substance being produced? what happens after sodiu
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

1. Sugar

(a) Dissolving in water

The white solid dissolves in water to give a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.

(b) Addition of sodium hydroxide

Adding the colourless solution of sodium hydroxide to the colourless sugar solution gives a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.

2. Magnesium sulfate

(a) Dissolving in water

The colourless crystals dissolve in water to give a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.

(b) Addition of sodium hydroxide

Adding the colourless solution of sodium hydroxide to the colourless solution of magnesium sulfate gives a white precipitate (see image). This is evidence that a new substance is being produced.
