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.

What volume will a sample of F2 gas occupy in a syringe at 5.5 atm if the f2 has volume of 30 ml at 1.2 atm?
padilas [110]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 6.54 mL</h3>

Explanation:

To find the new volume we use the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Since we are finding the new volume

V_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}  \\

From the question we have

V_2 =  \frac{30 \times 1.2}{5.5}  =  \frac{36}{5.5}  \\  = 6.54545454...

We have the final answer as

<h3>6.54 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

Why do elements that have positive ions occur on the left side of the periodic table?
HACTEHA [7]
The elements on the left side of the periodic table are positive ions because they all lose electrons to find balance, thus leaving them with a positive charge.
