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.

Write the balanced chemical equation for the reverse reaction. include physical states for all species.

This is a missing part of your question:
The equilibrium system between sulfur dioxide gas, oxygen gas, and sulfur trioxide gas is given.
So you need the equilibrium balanced equation of SO2, O2, SO3 reaction:
First, we will start with the original equation which is not balanced yet (to understand how we get it):
SO2 + O2 ↔ SO3 
Here the number of O atom is not equal at the to sides
So we will start to balance our equation by make the number of O atom equal each other on both sides:
So we will start to put 2SO3 instead of SO3 
and put 2SO2 instead of SO2 to balance also the S atom on both sides
So we will get this:
2SO2(g) + O2(g) ↔ 2SO3(g) (This is our equilibrium balanced equation)
know we have a number of O atom equals on each side = 6
and the sulfur equals on each side = 2

Edit the reaction by drawing all steps in the appropriate boxes and connecting them with reaction arrows. Add charges where need
gregori [183]

Answer:

Explanation:

Edit the reaction by drawing all steps in the appropriate boxes and connecting them with reaction arrows. Add charges where needed. Electron flow arrows should start on the electron(s) of an atom or a bond and should end on an atom, bond, or location where a new bond should be created. Include all free radicals by right-clicking on an atom on the canvas and then using the Atom properties to select the monovalent radical.

If you are playing pool and hit the cue ball at the stationary 8 ball, what should happen?
jolli1 [7]

Answer If a ball goes into a pocket and bounces back on to the playing surface, it is not considered pocketed. If it is the 8-ball, it is not a win. If it is the cue ball, it is not a scratch.
