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.

What is the value that corresponds to the number of atom
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

6.022 x 10²³

Explanation:

Data Given:

mass of carbon = 12.01 g

individual particles = 6.02 x 10²³

number of atoms = ?

Solution:

Formula used to find the number of atoms

                no. of moles = number of atoms / 6.022 x 10²³ . . . . . (1)

So, first we have to find number of moles

Formula to find no. of moles

               no. of moles = mass in grams/ molar mass. . . . . (2)

molar mass of Carbon = 12.01 g/mol

Put values in eq.2

            no. of moles = 12.01 g / 12.01 g/mol

            no. of moles = 1 mol

Now put the values in eq. 1

                no. of moles = number of atoms / 6.022 x 10²³ . . . . . (1)

                    1 mol = number of atoms / 6.022 x 10²³

Rearrange the above equation

               number of atoms = 1 mol x 6.022 x 10²³

                number of atoms = 6.022 x 10²³

So it is 6.022 x 10²³ atoms in 12.01 grams of carbon. This 6.022 x 10²³ also Known as Avogadro's number that is one mole of any substance consists this number of atoms.

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

H2O2 →  H2O  + 1/2O2

Explanation:

0.0800 mol of H2O2 decomposed into 0.0800 mol of H2O and 0.0400 mol of O2

H2O2 →  H2O  + 1/2O2 - Descomposition reaction.
