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.

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and velocity ?

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object and to the square of its velocity: K.E. = 1/2 m v2. If the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.

Burning 12.00 g of an oxoacid produces 17.95 g of carbon dioxide and 4.87 g of water. Consider that 0.25

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: The molecular formula will be $C_6H_6O_6$

Explanation:

Mass of $CO_2$ = 17.95 g

Mass of $H_2O$ = 4.87 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 17.95 g of carbon dioxide, = $\frac{12}{44}\times 17.95=4.89g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 4.87 g of water, = $\frac{2}{18}\times 4.87=0.541g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (12.00) - (4.89+0.541) = 6.57 g

Mass of C = 4.89 g

Mass of H = 0.541 g

Mass of O = 6.57 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{4.89g}{12g/mole}=0.407moles$

Moles of H= $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.541g}{1g/mole}=0.541moles$

Moles of O= $\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{6.57g}{16g/mole}=0.410moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = $\frac{0.407}{0.407}=1$

For H = $\frac{0.541}{0.407}=1$

For O = $\frac{0.410}{0.407}=1$

The ratio of C : H : O = 1: 1 : 1

Hence the empirical formula is $CHO$ .

Hence the empirical formula is $CHO$

The empirical weight of $CHO$ = 1(12)+1(1)+1(16)= 29 g.

If 0.25 moles has mass of 44.0 g

Thus 1 mole has mass of = $\frac{44.0}{0.25}\times 1=176g$

Thus molecular mass is 176 g

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{176g}{29g}=6$

The molecular formula will be= $6\times CHO=C_6H_6O_6$
