Answer:

They indicate the condition called Respiratory acidosis

Explanation:

The blood pH in a human range from 7.35 to 7.45 which makes it naturally basic.

The normal range for PCO_{2} is 35 - 45mmHg.

Having a pH of 7.25 indicates acidosis and PCO_{2} is 60mmHg which is higher than the normal PCO_{2}

This, therefore, indicates respiratory acidosis as the condition of the client because respiratory acidosis is measured by the function of CO_{2} (that is having too much of CO_{2} in the body)

TRUE OR FALSE?<br><br> An exothermic reaction could be written as: <br> heat + A + B -----&gt; AB
sukhopar [10]
The correct answer for this statement would be FALSE. It is considered false since exothermic reactions release energy, therefore, this energy can be considered more of a product, instead of the reactant. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.

Kepler and Newton studied the movement of planets. Kepler studied the speed of the planets while Newton studied the forces that
nasty-shy [4]
Kepler did not study the speed of the planets, rather, he studied how the planets move in the solar system. He proposed three laws. As a summary, he described that the planets move around the sun in the shape of an ellipse (orbit), and the Sun being one of the foci. Then, he proposed the period for the planet to complete one revolution around the Sun. 

On the other hand, Newton studied the forces acting on the planet (or any object in space) that explain how the planets move around the solar system as described by Kepler. Also, Kepler's observations only apply to planets and not the moons or satellites. Thus, Kepler only made laws from observations, while Newton based it from underlying principles that led him to mathematical equations such as the law of universal gravitation.
