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.

An aluminum ion has a charge of +3, and an oxide has a charge of -2. What would be the product of a reaction between these two e
kozerog [31]

The product of a reaction between these two elements is Al_{2} O_{3}.

Explanation:

The oxidation state of an ion in a compound is equal to its charge.

The aluminum having a charge of +3 because oxidation state is +3

The oxide is having charge of -2

The product of these reactants will produce a chemical compound.

The compound formed is Al_{2} O_{3}  i.e Aluminium oxide. The compound while getting formed will share the charge and cation A+ will have the charge of anion and anion will have the charge of cation. This will result in a compound as there should be a neutral charge on the compound formed.

The <em>+</em><em>3 charge of the cation Al+ will go to anion oxide O2- and the charge of anion -2 will go with cation Al+. </em>

What is the concentration of an alcl3 solution if 150. ml of the solution contains 550. mg of cl- ion?
valina [46]

The concentration of AlCl3 solution if 150 ml of the solution contains 550 mg of cl- ion is 0.0344 M


calculation


concentration = moles /volume in liters


volume in liters = 150 /1000= 0.15 L


number of moles calculation

write the equation for dissociation of Al2Cl3

that is AlCl3 ⇔ Al^3+ + 3 Cl ^-


find the moles of Cl^- formed

moles =mass/molar mass

mass in grams= 550/ 1000 =0.55 grams

molar mass of Cl^- =35.5 g/mol


moles is therefore= 0.55/35.5 =0.0155 moles


by use of mole ration betweem AlCl3 to Cl^- which is 1:3 the moles of AlCl3 is =0.0155 x 1/3= 5.167 x10^-3 moles



concentration of AlCl3 is therefore= 5.167 x10^-3/ 0.15 =0.0344 M

MaRussiya [10]

Answer: heat required to raise the temperature

Explanation: Heat equation is represented as:

Q= m\times c\times \Delta T

Q= heat required to raise the temperature

m= mass of the substance

c = heat capacity of substance    

\Delta T={\text{Change in temperature}}
