Blood is a buffer solution of bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). The Henderson equation which relates the concentration of HCO₃⁻ and CO₂ is given below:
=
.
Respiring cell releases CO₂ in blood stream and that CO₂ on reaction with water molecule produces H₂CO₃ which is a weak base and its conjugate base is HCO₃⁻.
CO₂ + 2H₂O⇄ HCO₃⁻ + H₃O⁺
pH of the buffer solution (the blood) depends only on the ratio of the amount of CO₂ to the amount of HCO³⁻. [So, due to respiration produced CO₂ will get dissolved in water and favours the equilibrium towards forward direction. Then immediately HCO₃⁻ reacts with HCO₃⁻ and starts producing CO₂.]This ratio remains relatively constant because the concentrations HCO3- and CO2 are very large compared to the amount of CO₂ produced to the blood from respiring cells. So,
of blood does not change.
Answer:
Heat lost to the surroundings
Heat lost to the thermometer
Explanation:
All changes in heat, or energy, can be explained. Many of the reactions or changes we see in the world involve the conversion of energy. For example as we heat up a substance (eg. water), the amount of energy we put in should give us an exact temperature. However, this is a "perfect world" scenario, and does not occur in real life. Whenever heat is added to a substance like water, we always need to account for the energy that is going to be lost. For example, heat lost to evaporation or even the effect of measuring the temperature with a thermometer (the introduction of anything including a thermometer will affect the temperature).
Na is cation so it loses electron to be positive and become stable losing one valence shells one electron so it's oxidation number is +1 ie A is correct
Answer:
To increase surface area of the platinum electrode which results in superior quality and action of the electrodes as opposed to normal platinum electrodes.
Explanation:
Platinization of Platinum is the process of covering platinum electrode with a layer of platinum black. Platinum black is a finally divided form of platinum, optimized for catalysing the addition of hydrogen to unsaturated organic compound. This increases the surface area of the platinum electrodes and therefore exhibits action superior to that of normal electrodes.
The wall would absorb extra heat during the day when the sun is out, then release the heat back into the room when the sun goes down.
