Acid-base homeostasis

Bam homerun, the crowd goes wild. One day my family and I bought tickets for a baseball game it was at Dodger stadium. It was the Cubs Vs Dodgers and my dad’s favorite team is the cubs so we decided to surprise him with the tickets. He got excited and as the days past by before you knew it we were off to the game. So then we were ready to go to the game we drove to dodger stadium. We were still driving to dodger stadium we finally got there it took us like an hour to get there. We gave the…

sighed, watching the runners advance to the next base on the field. I tossed the softball into my right hand, getting ready for my next pitch. I swung my right arm back, forward and around my head, finally releasing the ball with my fingertips as I had been taught. I watched as the ball spun in the air, travelling higher and higher, and then as it dropped behind the umpire. “Ball one,” the umpire exclaimed. Three pitches later, the batter walked to first base, advancing the runners once again,…

There were 2 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game. Bases were loaded, and there were 2 outs. I was at the plate. We had played our hardest, but we knew it was all over. I was the Dodgers’ last hope of ever making it to the World Series. We were up against the Giants. Literally. We were all 8-10 year olds, and they were like 13. I had absolutely no chance. The score was 3-0, Giants. I was the little girl amongst boys. As I finally built up the courage to step into the box, that’s when I heard…

determining an unknown acid or base, anion and cation test were performed. These tests allowed for the components of the solutions to be identified, therefore, achieve the second goal. The pH was also used in to help find the identity of the unknown solutions and it was used to draw conclusions about the solutions. Dilutions were used to help understand the different behaviors of different concentrations. Household items were used to help apply basic theories about acids and bases such as pH.…

analyze how the addition of acid or base and dilution affected the measured pH. The results showed that when the buffer systems were under acidic conditions their pH values decreased and increased when exposed to a basic environment. The main goal of the ionization of the amino acid experiment was to titrate an unknown amino acid with a strong base in order to produce a titration curve. The titration curve was used to evaluate the molecular weight of unknown amino acid #1 and proved that its…

solution into an acid or a base. How do you tell if something is an acid or a base? You use a chemical called an indicator, which changes in color when it goes from an acidic to basic. There are many different types of indicators, some are liquids and some are concentrated…

PH levels are a measure of how acidic or basic your beverage is. They show what beverages are more acidic, like soda, and what beverages are more basic, like water. It’s measured on a scale from one to fourteen. One through six are the acid levels, seven is the only neutral level, and eight through fourteen are the basic levels. First, get 2 drinks of choice and pour them into two different cups. Then, record its pH level, as well as the room temperature. Next, take another liquid and mix it…

Acetic Acid or better known as vinegar is a compound formed by the chemical reaction of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The composition of vinegar is acetic acid (C2H4O2) and water. Also, the formula for this compound is CH3COOH. These elements are nonmetals,so the type of bond that this substance made is covalent. Vinegar has many kind of properties and utilization in several ways. For example, it can be use for food preparation, cleaning and health. When added in water it makes an acid…

“normal” range for the human body? If not, when was the pH value outside of the normal range, and what acid/base imbalance did this pH value indicate? No, acidosis occurred at 40 seconds when the pH dropped out of “normal” range to 7.29. 6. Did the PCO2 level change during the course of this run? If so, how? Yes, the Pco2 level elevated. 7. If you observed an acid/base imbalance during this run, how would you expect the renal system to compensate for this condition?…
