Bicarbonate buffer system in blood consists of carbonic acid and bicarbonate ion. H2CO3/HCO3-

When a base enters the body the acid part of the buffer reacts with the base.

Thats the carbonic acid (H2CO3) reacts with the base.

Answer:

The correct answer is carbonic acid.

Explanation:

The acid-base homeostatic mechanism known as the bicarbonate buffer system involves the balance of bicarbonate ion, carbonic acid, and carbon dioxide in order to sustain pH in the duodenum and in the blood, along with other tissues for maintaining adequate metabolic activities. As with the buffer system, the pH is monitored by the existence of both the weak acid, that is, the carbonic acid, and its conjugate base, like bicarbonate ion, so that any extra base or acid presented to the system getting neutralized. In the bicarbonate buffer system, the carbonic acid reacts with a base to balance the system.

You apply the same amount of heat to five grams of water and five grams of aluminum. The temperature of the aluminum increases m
Mashutka [201]
Specific heat is another physical property of matter. All matter has a temperature associated with it. The temperature of matter is a direct measure of the motion of the molecules: The greater the motion the higher the temperature:



Motion requires energy: The more energy matter has the higher temperature it will also have. Typicall this energy is supplied by heat. Heat loss or gain by matter is equivalent energy loss or gain.

With the observation above understood we con now ask the following question: by how much will the temperature of an object increase or decrease by the gain or loss of heat energy? The answer is given by the specific heat (S) of the object. The specific heat of an object is defined in the following way: Take an object of mass m, put in x amount of heat and carefully note the temperature rise, then S is given by



In this definition mass is usually in either grams or kilograms and temperatture is either in kelvin or degres Celcius. Note that the specific heat is "per unit mass". Thus, the specific heat of a gallon of milk is equal to the specific heat of a quart of milk. A related quantity is called the heat capacity (C). of an object. The relation between S and C is C = (mass of obect) x (specific heat of object). A table of some common specific heats and heat capacities is given below:

Some common specific heats and heat capacities: Substance S (J/g 0C) C (J/0C) for 100 g Air 1.01 101 Aluminum 0.902 90.2 Copper 0.385 38.5 Gold 0.129 12.9 Iron 0.450 45.0 Mercury 0.140 14.0 NaCl 0.864 86.4 Ice 2..03 203 Water 4.179 417.9   

Consider the specific heat of copper , 0.385 J/g 0C. What this means is that it takes 0.385 Joules of heat to raise 1 gram of copper 1 degree celcius. Thus, if we take 1 gram of copper at 25 0C and add 1 Joule of heat to it, we will find that the temperature of the copper will have risen to 26 0C. We can then ask: How much heat wil it take to raise by 1 0C 2g of copper?. Clearly the answer is 0.385 J for each gram or 2x0.385 J = 0.770 J. What about a pound of copper? A simple way of dealing with different masses of matter is to dtermine the heat capacity C as defined above. Note that C depends upon the size of the object as opposed to S that does not.

We are not in position to do some calculations with S and C.

Example 1: How much energy does it take to raise the temperature of 50 g of copper by 10 0C?



Example 2: If we add 30 J of heat to 10 g of aluminum, by how much will its temperature increase?

 



Thus, if the initial temperture of the aluminum was 20 0C then after the heat is added the temperature will be 28.3 0C.

If 5.00 mL of 1.00 M HCl is used to titrate the hydroxide ion produced by a piece of Sodium, What mass of Sodium is used in gram
suter [353]

Answer:

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

NaOH + HCl --> NaCl + H2O

Volume of HCl = 5 ml

Molar concentration = 1 M

Number of moles = molar concentration * volume

= 1 * 0.005

= 0.005 mol of HCl

By stoichiometry, 1 mole of HCl completely neutralizes 1 mole of NaOH

Therefore, number of moles of NaOH = 0.005 mol

Molar mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1

= 40 g/mol

NaOH --> Na+ + OH-

Mass = molar mass * number of moles

= 40 * 0.005

= 0.2 g of Na+

How many moles of hcl are present in 40.0 ml of a 0.035 m solution?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

0.0014 moles is present in 40cm³ of 0.035M of HCl solution

Explanation:

Molarity = 0.035M

V = 40.0mL

1mL = 1cm³

V = 40cm³

0.035 moles = 1000cm³

X moles is present in 40cm³

X = (40 * 0.035) / 1000

X = 0.0014moles

0.0014 moles is present in 40cm³ of solution

What part of a flowering plant becomes fruit?<br><br> seed<br> ovary<br> stem<br> spore
lord [1]

Answer:

the ovary

Explanation:

The fertilized ovule becomes the seed, and the ovary becomes the fruit. Petals are also important parts of the flower, because they help attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies and bats. You can also see tiny green leaf-like parts called sepals at the base of the flower.

Which molecule plays the greatest role in the thermal regulation of the troposphere?
makkiz [27]

Answer: The moon was 20 farms away from earth so If I ate a couch then went to my treadmile outside of my cow, I could add the letter Grammar to my checklist.

Explanation: You see, If there was a man who had no arms or legs he would be walking with his feet right? SO If I added chickens to my head and ate the eifel tower am I 50% a choclate bar. Hope this helps
