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 ice cube measuring 5.80 cm by 5.80 cm by 5.80 cm has a density of 0.917 g/mL What is the mass?
OLga [1]

Answer: 178.9 g

Explanation:

Density = \frac{mass}{volume in mL}

find volume of the cube: (5.80 cm) (5.80 cm) (5.80cm) = 195.112 cm³

1.0 cm³ = 1.0 mL

so 195.112 cm³ = 195.112 mL

plug value into density equation:

0.917 g/mL = (mass) / (195.112 mL)

and solve for mass!

In redox half-reactions, a more positive standard reduction potential means I. the oxidized form has a higher affinity for elect
qwelly [4]

Answer:

The 1st and 4th options are correct

I.the oxidized form has a higher affinity for electrons

IV. the greater the tendency for the oxidized form to accept electrons

Explanation:

Half reaction can be described as the oxidation or reduction reaction in a redox reaction.it is In the redox rection there is a change in the oxidation states of Chemical species involved. the oxidized form in the redox has a higher affinity for electrons and the greater the tendency for the oxidized form to accept electrons.

Standard reduction potential which is also referred to as standard cell potential can be described as the potential difference that exist between cathode and anode of the cell. In the standard reduction potential most times the species will be reduced which is usually analysed in a reduction half reaction.

(Standard Hydrogen Electrode) is utilized when determining the Standard reduction or potentials of a chemical specie. this is because of Hydrogen having zero reduction and oxidation potentials, as a result of this a measured potential of any species is compared with that of Hydrogen, the difference helps to know the potential reduction of that particular specie.

At a given temperature, you have a mixture of benzene (vapor pressure of pure benzene = 745 torr) and toluene (vapor pressure of
swat32
Ideal solutions obey Raoult's law, which states that:

P_i = x_i*(P_pure)_i

where
P_i is the partial pressure of component i above a solution
x_i is the mole fraction of component i in the solution
(P_pure)_i is the vapor pressure of pure component i

In this case,

P_benzene = 0.59 * 745 torr = 439.6 torr
P_toluene = (1-0.59) * 290 torr = 118.9 torr

The total vapor pressure above the solution is the sum of the vapor pressures of the individual components:

P_total = (439.6 + 118.9) torr = 558.5 torr

Assuming the gas phase also behaves ideally, the partial pressure of each gas in the vapor phase is proportional to its molar concentration, so the mole fraction of toluene in the vapor phase is:

118.9 torr/558.5 torr = 0.213
