Bicarbonate

out acid from the blood when fluids are excreted. Lastly hyperchloremic acidosis can also cause high levels of acid in the blood as problems within the body cause a lack of bicarbonate production. Bicarbonate therapy may be used to treat metabolic acidosis because bicarbonate can serve as a buffer in the blood system. Bicarbonate is an anion in solution and has the ability to pick up a hydrogen cation or act as a proton acceptor. This thus prevents dramatic rates of pH change in the blood as…

physical properties without undergoing any changes in its chemical composition. Different materials have different melting points and thus, they can be identified with ease. Clearly, it was observed that the residue comprised a combination of sodium bicarbonate extracts once the ether had evaporated from the hood. How to Remove Water that was dissolved in Diethyl Ether Water that was dissolved in diethyl ether can be removed using a commercial drying agent such as MgSO4 salt. The salt…

Introduction The gastrointestinal tract (GI) comprises of the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and the anus. Also, digestion process start from the mouth; the ingestion of food stimulate the salivary secretion (mouth), the food is chewed before its passage through the esophagus down to the stomach where mechanical and chemical digestion takes place. Pepsinogen from the chief cells helps with the digestion of protein, amylase from the saliva and…

The condition of respiratory acidosis means that the lungs cannot remove all the carbon dioxide the body produces (Hadjiliadis, 2014) resulting in the partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide to create an imbalance in the carbon dioxide and bicarbonate ratio. The opposing condition, respiratory alkalosis means that there exist low levels of carbon dioxide in the blood due to excessive breathing (Dugdale, 2012). The conditions encompass symptoms that directly impact the brain. Consequently,…

The purpose of the experiment was to form ketones by electrophilic aromatic substitution through a Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction of an aromatic compound. In the synthesized Friedel-Craft acylation reaction mechanism, the double bond on the nucleophile anisole (methoxybenzene) attacks the acetyl electrophile. The acetyl compound is then bound to the anisole in the para position, which created the product p-methoxyacetophenone. Since anisole is an activator (electron donor), the acetyl could…

ESS Internal Assessment: Lab Report Aim: The aim is to measure the rate of photosynthesis of an aquatic plant (Cabomba species) at different light intensities. Hypothesis: If the distance between the lamp and the plant increases the rate of photosynthesis decreases because the plant requires light for photosynthesis to occur. Variables: Independent: The independent variable for this experiment is light intensity. In each trial the distance between the plant and the lamp will be increased,…

They did not rise as they were not receiving a carbon source; therefore, photosynthesis did not occur, and oxygen was not released in the leaves to allow them to float. In sodium bicarbonate solution, leaves were exposed to a higher level of carbon dioxide. This higher level corresponds to a faster rate of photosynthesis as carbon dioxide is a reactant in this process. Thus, oxygen(product) was released more quickly in the leaf allowing…

Plants are essential for life on earth; they are the backbone of all life. Plants are considered as autotrophic organisms, seeing as they are able to produce their own food. They are a crucial resource for many different uses, as plants are primary producers; everything we eat comes directly or indirectly from them (Schaffner, 2010). They provide a whole range of useful products, including food, fibres for cloth, and energy sources. Wood, coal and natural gas are all sourced from plants, these…

from Wissinger laboratory manual.1 The only deviation from this procedure was that the Variac outlet for the Reflux condenser was set at sixty for fifty minutes rather than at forty-five to fifty for sixty to seventy-five minutes. For the sodium bicarbonate washes, four washes were completed before the solution was deemed no longer acidic. As well, for the NaCl wash, 10mL of aqueous NaCl solution was used. Observations and Results: There were a variety of physical observations that could be…

wooden test tube holder. With your ruler measure 50cm from the plant to the heat lamp- start with the natural white light. Place the heat sink directly in front of the plant. Once you are completely set up fill each test tube with 0.25% sodium bicarbonate, just enough to completely submerge the plant into the solution. Start timing and count the total number of bubbles that appear after every minute for 5 minutes. Record your results and start over after taping a blue color filter onto the heat…
