Church & Dwight’s corporate strategy consisted mainly of growth and retrenchment strategies. Some instances of stability strategies can also be seen as part of their corporate strategy. Horizontal growth strategies (external) include acquisitions, international expansion and strategic alliances or partnerships with other firms. They reshaped company through acquisitions and had an annual organic growth rate of 3–4%. Church & Dwight pushed aggressively into consumer products outside of sodium bicarbonate-related products and into the international arena even in the early 2000s, and numerous changes were made in key personnel. They undergone a substantial transformation in the past decade largely as a result of three major acquisitions and partnership/strategic…
LF has a density of 0.97 g/mL, and the known density was 1 g/mL. LF also had the characteristics of water, clear with low viscosity. During the experiment, MA had its density calculated, and it was compared to copper. The results only had a 6.3% error. During the experiment of woods, WD was specifically looked at for its physical characteristics. WD has light, tan color and a soft texture, resembling the wood of a pine tree. The density of it was also calculated and had a 20% error. Through the…
However, the most important buffer for maintaining acid–base balance in the blood is the carbonic acid–bicarbonate buffer. The normal pH of all tissues and fluids of the body, excluding.the stomach, is slightly alkaline, however, the most critical pH is that of the pH of blood. All other fluids will fluctuate.to keep the blood a strict pH between 7.35 and…

Acid-Base Case study 1 The acid base balance of the body is mainly regulated by respiratory and renal system together with the body ‘buffer system. For the body to function normally, the hydrogen ion (H+) needs to be concentrated within a narrow range, represented as pH, which determines the acidity and alkalinity of a solution. Changes in the bicarbonate (HCO3) concentration causes metabolic acidosis or metabolic alkalosis while changes in the rate of alveolar ventilation and carbon dioxide…
to humans than anything else. It is important to take care of the body from any harm. One thing that the body is capable of is maintaining pH levels and buffers. A pH is the power of hydrogen and buffers prevent extreme shifts in pH. The blood has a specific type of buffer that is maintained at pH level of 7.4. If the buffers shifts and levels of pH go to 7 or 7.8, it can be deadly. The blood buffer contains carbonic acid which dissociates into bicarbonate acid and hydrogen ions. This equation…
Pharmaceutical Sciences, Indore (MP) ABSTRACT Effervescent tablet generally contains in addition to active ingredients, mixture of acids/acid salts (Citric, Tartaric, Malic acid or any other suitable acid or acid anhydride) and carbonate and hydrogen carbonates (Sodium, Potassium or any other suitable alkali metal carbonate or hydrogen carbonate) which release carbon dioxide when mixed with water. Occasionally, active ingredient itself could act as the acid or alkali metal compound necessary…
overdosing, and cardiac arrest. Treatment for acute respiratory acidosis will include finding out the underlying cause and then treating the underlying cause. A really good example would be if the person had an airway obstruction causing acidosis. The person would need to have the airway cleared and possibly be placed on a ventilation for respiratory relief. The ventilation would certainly give the body time to correct the unbalance homeostasis with adequate amount of oxygen and balance of pH in…
this condition is present your CO2 levels could be normal but your kidneys are not production enough of the buffer called HCO3 causing the CO2 to be in a large quantity. A normal level of HCO3 would be between 22-26mEqK and in order to bring the level back to normal range the lungs would need to assist. You would need to take more breaths that way you exhale more CO2, decreasing the amount in your body and allowing the buffer to work more effectively. That is one way to treat metabolic acidosis…
Checking your car's battery is an extremely important part of car maintenance. If you keep your battery clean and running in tip top shape, it will last much longer. When checking your battery, you should look for problems like corrosion, dirt, cracks, and broken cables. It's important to be cautious when working on your car's battery. You should always make sure the engine is off and you are removing the battery and its cables correctly so that you don't cause harm to yourself or the battery.…
