Re: Respiratory Acidosis
The pH of the blood is monitored by the ratio of H2CO3 and HCO3-, and when one increases or decreases too much, it affects the acidity or basicity. Respiratory acidosis occurs when one does not get enough O2 and has an accumulation of CO2, instead. This CO2 reacts with water to produce carbonic acid...

Re: Fundamentals J.13c
Well, O is negatively charged and therefore wants to balance with two more protons, so it accepts the H+s to make water. You can also just visually look at it and see that CaO doesn't have any H+, so it doesn't really make sense for it to give off something it doesn't have.

H20 with its two lone-pairs is the electron donor so, therefore, the lewis acid. SO3 does not have any lone pairs, just 3 regions of electron density, so it gains electrons from the H20 and is, therefore, the lewis base.

Re: Solving for remaining moles of the excess (M5)
Sure! First look at the moles given: 12 mol ClO2 and 5 mol BrF3. Taking into account the ratio of 1 to 2 that we used to figure out which reactant was limiting, we apply that to the reactants to see how it compares to the moles given to complete this reaction. Multiplying 6 mol ClO2 by 2 gets us 12 ...

Re: Formula Units
Sure! Formula units are just a type of particle associated with ionic compounds so you only use the term formula units when the problem relates to an ionic compound. Other "particles" are atoms and molecules but those are associated with elements and molecular compounds, respectively. Basi...

Re: Molarity Audio-Visual Focus-Topics Question 23
Sure! Here is the break down of solving: So first, let's write out the applicable formulas: g= mol x gmol-1, M= n/V, and Minitial x Vinitial = Mfinal X Vfinal We know that there are 5 grams of KMnO4 and that we have a volume of 150mL but we really need the molarity (M= n/V) and to do this, we first ...

Re: Homework Problem E.9c
Sure! So to find the moles of H2O you follow the equation (g = mol X gmol-1 ) and divide 5.15g by the molar mass of MgSO4 x 7H20 which is 246.48 gmol-1. After this, you multiply the result (.02089 mol) by 7 because you want just one mole of water but you calculated the moles for 7. To accommodate th...

Re: 5 Homework Problems Due
I believe you only have to do 5 total; although, it is a good idea to get more practice.:)
