Which statement is true regarding carbonic acid (H 2CO 3)? If body fluids are too alkaline, carbonic acid is excreted through th
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

the correct option is : If body fluids are too acidic, carbonic acid is excreted through the respiratory system in the form of carbon dioxide and water.

Explanation:

Metabolic acidosis is compensated by two systems, the renal and respiratory systems.

In the case of the respiratory system, the mechanism it uses to compensate for this phenomenon is to release the carbonic acid molecule dissociated into its components, that is, in the form of water and carbon dioxide.

The greater the acidosis, the more hyperventilation the person will have, and this is because they seek to eliminate carbonic acid more efficiently and quickly, along with renal excision.

The metabolic acidosis generated by carbonic acid is lethal, since the proteins in our body are denatured and the homeostasis of all systems is corrupted.

Draw the major organic product in the reaction scheme below. Be sure to clearly show stereochemistry (if applicable).
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

see explanation below

Explanation:

You are missing the reaction scheme, but in picture 1, I found a question very similar to this, and after look into some other pages, I found the same scheme reaction, so I'm gonna work on this one, to show you how to solve it. Hopefully it will be the one you are asking.

According to the reaction scheme, in the first step we have NaNH2/NH3(l). This reactant is used to substract the most acidic hydrogen in the alkine there. In this case, it will substract the hydrogen from the carbon in the triple bond leaving something like this:

R: cyclopentane

R - C ≡ C (-)

Now, in the second step, this new product will experiment a SN2 reaction, and will attack to the CH3 - I forming another alkine as follow:

R - C ≡ C - CH3

Finally in the last step, Na in NH3 are reactants to promvove the hydrogenation of alkines. In this case, it will undergo hydrogenation in the triple bond and will form an alkene:

R - CH = CH - CH3

In picture 2, you have the reaction and mechanism.

Which of the following compounds are soluble in aqueous solutions? Select ALL that are soluble.
sattari [20]
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • K₂S
  • CaSO₄ (slightly soluble in water)
  • Pb(ClO₄)₂
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Mg(OH)₂  and CoCO₃ are insoluble in water.
  • Solubility rules are used to determine whether a compound will be soluble or not soluble in aqueous form.
  • K₂S is soluble in aqueous solutions as all salts of Potassium are soluble in water.
  • Calcium (ii) sulfate is slightly soluble in water.
  • Hydroxides are insoluble in water except, KOH, NaOH and NH₄OH.and Barium hydroxide. Therefore, Mg(OH)₂ is an insoluble hydroxide.
  • CoCO₃ is insoluble since carbonates are insoluble except K₂CO₃, Na₂CO₃ and (NH₄)₂CO₃. .
  • Pb(ClO₄)₂ is soluble because all perchlorates are soluble.
