Question
Chapter 2, Problem 32RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effect on the pH, in the body of the individual when he gets excited and exhales large amount of CO2.
Introduction:
pH is the term given to the hydrogen ion concentration in log10. The solutions of pH below 7 are called acids and above 7 are called bases. The solutions having the pH range of 7 are neutral. CO2 and bicarbonate ions are important buffers in the body that regulate the optimal pH of the body.

The amino acid alanine has two isomers, α-alanine and β-alanine. When equal masses of these two compounds are dissolved in equal amounts of a solvent, the solution of α-alanine freezes at the lowest temperature. Which form, α-alanine or β-alanine, has the larger equilibrium constant for ionization (HX ⇌ H+ + X−) ?
Bicarbonate/carbonic acid buffer in blood is an example of an equilibrium reaction that is meant to be very insensitive to change. How does the bicarbonate/carbonic acid buffer re-establish equilibrium if acidity increases? How does the bicarbonate/carbonic acid buffer re-establish equilibrium if alkalinity increases?
An important buffer system in the human body involves carbon dioxide (CO2), carbonic acid (H2CO3), and bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) as shown: If a person becomes excited and exhales large amounts of CO2, how will his or her body’s pH be affected?

Neglecting free CO2, what fraction will be present as carbonic acid? Would you expect a significant amount of carbonate (CO32-)?arrow_forwardWhich of the following correctly explains why the vapor pressure of water has to be included in the calculations? Some of the liquid water evaporates into the gas, and increases the total pressure generated by the trapped gas. As the H2(g) is bubbled up the reaction solution, some of the H2(g) molecules are solubilized by water in the aqueous solution, effectively decreasing the measured pressure above. The pressure contributed by the H2(g) is greater than the measured total pressure because of the contribution of partial pressure of water vapor. The pressure exerted by the evolved H2(g) is reduced because of the co-presence of water vapor, thus Pwater vapor has to be added to Pdry gas. Overview of the experiment:arrow_forward
- The glass electrode used in commercial pH meters gives an electrical response proportional to the concentration of hydrogen ion. To convert these responses to a pH reading, the electrode must be calibrated against standard solutions of known H+ concentration. Determine the weight in grams of sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4 · H2O; FW 138) and disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4 ; FW 142) needed to prepare 1 L of a standard buffer at pH 7.00 with a total phosphate concentration of 0.100 M .

- Normal arterial pH is 7.35 to 7. 45. Both metabolic and respiratory alkalosis have pH more basic compare to the normal arterial pH. The difference is 0.5 units. What is pH value in alkalosis? Niemann-Pick type C disease is a progressive neurological disease; symptoms include unsteady walking with uncoordinated limb movements, slurred speech, a difficulty in swallowing, epilepsy and tremor. This condition is due to the abnormal functioning of a lysosome. State the normal functions performed by this organelle.arrow_forwardendothermic reactions absorb energy from their surroundings. If chemicals for an endothermic reaction are added to water, the water's temperature drops (the water gets colder! Ever use a first aid "cold pack", where you squeeze a pouch to release chemicals inside and the pouch becomes ice cold? That's an endothermic reaction!) For endothermic reactions, when you use the equation Q = m x C x (delta T), the "Q" is a negative number because the water LOSES energy. The answer is negative because the water temperature drops, the CHANGE registered on the thermometer is negative. Type a negative number to answer this question: if your water starts at 19 degrees Celsius, and a couple of minutes after adding chemicals the water temperature becomes 15 degrees, the value of "delta T" is degrees Celsius. *arrow_forwardConsider the following reaction at 25°C with the ΔG°’ = +1800 J/mol for the forward reaction.The molar concentrations at the beginning of the reaction were [A] = 19 mM and [B] = 10 mM.After 1 hour, the concentrations were [A] = 16 mM and [B] = 13 mM.
