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.

When H2(g) reacts with Cl2(g) to form HCl(g) , 185 kJ of energy are evolved for each mole of H2(g) that reacts. Write a balanced
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

H₂(g) + Cl₂(g) → 2HCl(g) + 185kJ

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, enthalpy of reaction ΔH is a thermodynamic constant that gives information if the reaction is exothermic (Produce heat if reacts) or endothermic (Consume heat if reacts).

In the reaction:

H₂(g) + Cl₂(g) → 2HCl(g) ΔH = -185kJ

As ΔH <0, the reaction is exothermic, that means, <em>produce heat</em>, writing a balanced thermochemical equation:

<em>H₂(g) + Cl₂(g) → 2HCl(g) + 185kJ</em>

<em></em>

The enthalpy is as a product beacause an exothermic reaction produces heat.

I hope it helps!

The force against a solid object moving through a gas or a liquid
statuscvo [17]

A force or a type of friction?

Force: Resistance--> If you go swimming, you feel the water pushing against you, making it harder to walk in water and even to swim unless you are doggy pattling or front strokes. Resistance is a force going against a solid object.

Friction: Fluid friction which is friction that occurs after a solid object travels through a liquid or gas

Elden [556K]

Answer:

When copper(II) chloride and sodium carbonate solutions are combined, solid copper(II) carbonate precipitates, leaving a solution of sodium chloride. Write the conventional equation, total ionic equation, and net ionic equation for this reaction.

Explanation:

The word equation for the reaction is:

Copper (II) chloride(aq) + sodium carbonate (aq) ->sodium chloride (aq) +           copper carbonate(s)

The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is:

CuCl_2(aq)+Na_2CO_3(aq)->2NaCl(aq)+CuCO_3(s)

The complete ionic equation is:

Cu^2+(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)+2Na^+(aq)+CO_3^2^-(aq)->2Cl^-(aq)+2Na^+(aq)+CuCO_3(s)\\

The net ionic equation is obtained from the complete ionic equation after removing the spectator ions:

Cu^2^+(aq)+CO_3^2^-(aq)->CuCO_3(s)
