Bicarbonate

ABG, complete metabolic profile (CMP), complete blood count (CBC) with differential, urine electrolytes and urinalysis should have been obtained to evaluate the patient’s status and what further treatment was needed. Some antacids contain sodium bicarbonate (Alka-Seltzer) so that could have contributed to the acid-base disturbance (Kahn & Cherney. 2017). Since she was dehydrated and vomiting, contraction alkalosis occurred. This is when hydrochloric acid (HCL) is reduced in the stomach and the…

The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is home to hundreds of species of coral, fish, and other animals. Its total area is roughly the same as that of Italy or Germany. As the world’s largest coral reef ecosystem, the GBR supports more species per unit area than any other marine ecosystem. The reef also contributes around 6 billion dollars annually to Australia’s economy. However, the reef is under considerable stress due to a recently increasing trend in sea temperature, ocean acidification, sea level,…

Comparisons: Effect of crushed vs. whole tablet: The crushed tablet reacted faster because its surface area is smaller, allowing the particles to react faster with the water. The crushed tablet also produced frothy bubbles all over the water, whereas the reaction (bubbles) of the whole tablet was primarily around the tablet in the water. Temperature effect: The reaction was extremely slow in the cold water as molecules do not move as fast in cold water. Once you increased the temperature you…

reactant that is produced? This experiment tested why mixing reactants in different mole ratios affected the amount of the product and the amount of each reactant that is left over. To solve the problem, the lab contained reacting sodium bicarbonate(baking soda) and acetic acid(vinegar) in different ratios and seeing if the product changed. The data suggests that the higher ratio of baking soda to vinegar creates the most product. For the ratio 3:1, the final grams of sodium…

for excretion. This function of the blood makes sure that there will be no accumulated waste in the cells that will lead the cell to its death. Third, it maintains homeostasis of pH, temperature and water content of the body. The blood has its bicarbonate buffer that will maintain blood pH at 7.4 which is the physiologic pH. Throughout its circulation, the blood will distrubute the free energy change from metabolism which is present as heat all through out the body.…

The negative and positive charges balance each other. The (cl-) balances with (h+). The fourth step is on the opposite side of the partial cell the exchanger balances this loss of (cl-) chloride ions by getting it from the blood in exchange for bicarbonate ions…

CHAPTER-V FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF LEVODOPA FLOATING TABLETS FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF LEVODOPA FLOATING TABLETS Several approaches are currently used to retain the dosage form in the stomach. The principle of the floating tablets is simple and practically approach to achieve increased gastric residence time to obtain controlled release floating tablets designed based on the gas generating principle needs a strong floating matrix former. In this regard HPMC K4M,…

The simple reaction between two substances (Mg and HCL) was performed to determine how different factors such as, temperature, and concentration effects the rate of reaction. There were noticeable differences while determining the effects of concentration of HCL on the rate of reaction. Increasing in the concentration of the HCL, bottom of the test tube became hotter; it’s an exothermic reaction because energy is being released during the reaction in the form of heat. Another, increasing in…

PHOTOSYNTHESIS: WAVELENGTHS VS. DISTANCE Introduction: Every living being on Earth can be categorized by either autotroph or heterotroph. What do I mean autotroph or heterotroph? Humans and most animals are considered heterotrophs. Heterotrophs gain their energy from harvesting the energy that other living things have stored. An example of this would be a human having a turkey dinner or a rabbit enjoying some leafy greens. Each example shows a living thing, consuming another once living thing…

heartburn etc. It is an antacid. When it is dissolved in water, it produces carbon dioxide filled air bubbles. It is represented by CO2.(1) Alka-Seltzer consists of citric acid and aspirin. Bicarbonates are formed when the tablet is dissolved. When it is mixed with citric acid, then the acid reacts with bicarbonates and water, carbon dioxide are formed.(1) When Carbon and oxygen bonded, then carbon dioxide gas is produced.(2) It is colorless, odorless gas. when fossil fuels are burned, this gas…
