Micky Mo is a 64-year-old male admitted to the emergency room for asthma. His laboratory results are as follows: pH 7.31, pCO2 h

igher than normal, and total HCO3– also higher than normal. Classify his acid-base balance as acidosis or alkalosis, and as metabolic or respiratory. Is there evidence of compensation?

Answer:

Micky Mo is suffering from respiratory acidosis.

Explanation:

The pCO2 level in micky"s body is higher than normal it means the excess amount of  CO2 will reacts with water to generate carbonic acid(H2CO3).

  On the other hand according to the question total HCO3- also higher than normal.As a result the excess HCO3- will react with proton to form carbonic acid which is in turn dissociate to generate CO2 and H2O to maintain normal acid base homeostasis.

 From that point of view it can be said Micky Mo is suffering from respiratory acidosis.

A line in the Brackett series of hydrogen has a wavelength of 1945 nm. From what state did the electron originate?
fiasKO [112]
Rydberg Eqn is given as:
 1/λ = R [1/n1^2 - 1/n2^2] 
<span>Where λ is the wavelength of the light; 2626 nm = 2.626×10^-6 m </span>
<span>R is the Rydberg constant: R = 1.09737×10^7 m-1 </span>
<span>From Brackett series n1 = 4 </span>
<span>Hence 1/(2.626×10^-6 ) = 1.09737× 10^7 [1/4^2 – 1/n2^2] </span>
<span>Some rearranging and collecting up terms: </span>
<span>1 = (2.626×10^-6)×(1.09737× 10^7)[1/16 -1/n2^2] </span>
<span>1= 28.82[1/16 – 1/n2^2] </span>
<span>28.82/n^2 = 1.8011 – 1 = 0.8011 </span>
<span>n^2 = 28.82/0.8011 = 35.98 </span>
<span>n = √(35.98) = 6</span>

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

O FX will be greater than FY

Explanation:

<em>Surface tension</em> can be defined as the force required to stretch one film of a given fase (usually with liquids).

This required force is proportional to the liquid's surface tension. This means that the higher the surface tension, the higher the required force to stretch it is.

A 360mg sample of aspirin, C9H8O4, (molar mass 180g), is dissolved in enough water to produce 200mL of solution. What is the mol
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Molarity is 0.04M

Explanation:

First of all, let's determinate the moles of aspirin in that sample

Mass / Molar mass = Moles

360 mg = 0.360 g

0.360 g / 180 g/m = 0.002 moles

This moles that are included in 200 mL of solution, are also in 50 mL.

So molarity is mol/L

50 mL = 0.05 L

0.002 m / 0.05 L = 0.04M
