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.

When HCl(g) reacts with NH3(g) to form NH4Cl(s) , 176 kJ of energy are evolved for each mole of HCl(g) that reacts. Write a bala
Orlov [11]

Answer:

q = -176kJ

Explanation:

HCl and NH3 reacts as following to NH4Cl

HCl(g) + NH3(g)=========>NH4Cl(s)   : ΔH = -176 KJ

Clearly,

ENERGY IS EVOLVED MEANING IT IS A EXOTHERMIC REACTION .

therefore, the value of heat evolved as q = -176kJ

Which of the following species contains manganese with the highest oxidation number?
ioda

In NaMnO₄, Mn has the highest oxidation number.

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Which of the following species contains manganese with the highest oxidation number?

A) Mn

B) MnF₂

C) Mn₃(PO₄)₂

D) MnCl₄

E) NaMnO₄

In order to ascertain the specie that contains manganese with the highest oxidation number, we must calculate the oxidation number of manganese in each of the species one after the other.

1) For Mn, the oxidation number of Mn is zero because the atom is uncombined.

2) For MnF₂;

Mn has an oxidation number of +2

3) For Mn₃(PO₄)₂

Mn has an oxidation number of +2

4) For MnCl₄

Mn has an oxidation number of +4

5) For NaMnO₄

Mn has an oxidation number of +7

Hence in NaMnO₄, Mn has the highest oxidation number.

At higher elevations, the boiling point of water decreases, due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure. As a result, what could
amid [387]
When we say decrease in boiling point, that means, we achieve boiling at a more lower temperature (lower than 100deg C). This is due to the lower atmospheric pressure. Boiling happens when the vapor pressure is equal the atmospheric pressure. Lower atmospheric pressure takes lower temperature for vapor pressure to equate with the atmospheric pressure. The answer here is letter B. 
At higher elevations, it would take longer to hard boil an egg, because there is a lower boiling point, so the egg is boiling in water at a lower temperature.

What is the density of 2.5 g of gaseous sulfur held at 130. kPa and 10.0 degrees Celsius?
worty [1.4K]
Use ideal gas equation: pV = nRT

Now pass n to mass: n = mass / MM .... [MM is the  molar mass]

pV = [mass/MM]*RT =>mass/V = [p*MM] / RT  and mass / V = density

p= 130 kPa = 130,000 Pa = 130,00 joule / m^3
T = 10.0 ° + 273.15 = 283.15 k
MM of sulfur (S) = 32 g/mol  = 32000 kg/mol

density = 130,000 Pa * 32000kg/mol / [8.31 joule / mol*k * 283.15 k] = 1.77*10^6 kg/m^3 = 1.77 g/L  ≈ 1.8 g/L

Then, I do not get any of the option choices.

Is it possbile that the pressure is 13.0 kPa instead 130. kPa? If so the answer would be 18 g/L

Note that the mass is not used. You do not need it unless you are asked for the volume, which is not the case.
