Bicarbonate

World War I is seen as the dawn of modern chemical warfare, with multiple chemical agents being used on a large scale. The variety of poisonous gases resulted in 1,240,000 injuries and 91,000 fatalities. Chemical weapons in World War I were primarily used to subdue, injure, and kill enemy soldiers who were in the trenches, against whom the slow moving gas clouds would be most effective. The types of chemical warfare weapons dominated from debilitating chemicals, such as tear gas and the dreadful…

The chymes higher pH does not trigger sodium bicarbonate nor the release of the enzymes produced by the pancreas. This can lead to duodenal ulcers. The pancreatic enzymes help with the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids (Mcat-review 2015) An alkaline environment is required…

The reaction of soda ash (Na2CO3) with calcium sulfate in water is represented by the following chemical reaction: Na2CO3 + CaSO4 >>> CaCO3 + Na2SO4. Assuming that this reaction is complete and that there is 153 mg/l of CaSO4 initially present, what is the mass of soda ash that must be added to 1 liter of the water? How many grams of CaO are required to be the chemical equivalent of 246 g of Mg(HCO3)2? A complete reaction requires the number of CaSO4 to be equal to the number of moles…

heat in the oven and causing the whole thing to rise. The two most commonly used ones today are: baking soda and baking powder. They sound almost the same so they must be the same right? However that isn’t true. Baking soda is actually sodium bicarbonate, that needs an acid (such as cream of tartar) to balance it out, then to be moisturized and produce carbon dioxide, essential for leavening. In contrast, baking powder already has baking soda and an acid, but also a starch that won’t react…

Acute Kidney Injury Case Study 1. AKI can be prerenal, intrarenal, and postrenal. Prerenal is a decrease in blood flow to the kidneys and this leads to a decrease in glomerulus perfusion and filtration. During prerenal, Azotemia occurs and is the accumulation of nitrogenous waste in the blood. This results in a reduction in sodium excretion, increased sodium and water retention, and decreased urine output. Intrarenal has direct damage to the kidney. Nephrotoxins can cause structures to…

Light Intensity and the Rate of Photosynthesis By: Maxwell Wissman, Lela Cohen, Sophia Stevenson and Russell Leibovitz ABSTRACT: This experiment was done to answer and/or to find out if you change the light intensity on a healthy plant, then it will photosynthesize differently, because the photons will hit the leaves of the plant more or less, thus increasing or decreasing the photosynthetic rate. This would answer the question by seeing how many bubbles come up without any light and how many…

separate camps on the mountain by ascending to high altitudes during the day and returning to a lower altitude to rest. They also eat more carbohydrates and less protein and fats, drink around 1 gallon of water per day to help flush of the kidneys of bicarbonate from an increase in respiratory rate and use bottled oxygen tanks to compensate for the minimal…

From surfing, swimming, fishing, scuba diving, and going on boat rides on the beach most of us don’t really know what’s going on in our oceans. In reality besides the waste that goes in there’s actually acidification in our waters. Acidification is when the ocean uptakes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, this also means the pH levels are lowering. The ocean acidification is negatively taking over our environment and there are barely any benefits that come with it. This essay will provide…

Slide Two- Aerobic Metabolism Metabolism is vital to the body, as it converts proteins, carbohydrates and fats into energy. Aerobic metabolism requires oxygen to function, unlike anaerobic metabolism (Tang, nd). The oxygen breaks down glucose to release energy in the form of ATP, producing carbon dioxide and water as bi-products. The process of aerobic metabolism includes glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain (Pass My Exams, nd). Slide Three- Pyruvate…

how it did due to additional carbonic acid being created by the reaction. With more baking soda, there is more to be mixed with vinegar, which means more CO2. When explained more in-depth, the double displacement reaction of baking soda(sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar is larger when there is more of the two. When adding more baking soda there is more for it to be mixed with the vinegar. This makes for a greater amount of sodium acetate and carbonic acid. The data teaches that when there is more…
