CLINICAL CHEMISTRY:
Assuming carbon dioxide is kept at a constant partial pressure of 55 mmHg, and your starting bicarbonate concentration is 22 mM; calculate how much excess bicarbonate it would require in order to raise the pH by .05 units.
We know the relation between pH, conc of bicarbonate and parital pressure of CO2 is
pH = 6.1 + log [HCO3-] / 0.03pCO2
Given :
[HCO3-] = 22mM
pCO2 = 55mmHg
pH = 6.1 + log 22/ 0.03 X 55 = 7.22
Now we want to raise the pH by 0.05 units
new pH = 7.22 + 0.05 = 6.1 + log [HCO3-] / 0.03X pCO2
7.27 -6.1 = log [HCO3-] / 0.03 x pCO2
14.79 = [HCO3-] / 0.03 X pCO2
[HCO3-] = 24.40 mM
so excess bicarbonate needed = 24.40 - 22 mM = 2.4mM

The following are the Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2 in mmHg) values in 14 patients with bronchopulmonary disease: 38, 41, 45, 48, 49, 56, 60, 75, 42, 48, 32, 33, 33, 36 The data are continuous but do not come from a symmetric population. Use an appropriate test to test the hypothesis that the PaCO2 values have a population median greater than 40 mmHg. [a] (1 mark) What is an appropriate test for this data set? [b] Based on...

She also complained of being increasingly short of breath, and has sounds in her lungs on physical examination. Arterial blood was drawn and sampled, revealing the following values:...
1. Given that the Henry's Law constant for carbon monoxide in water al 30°C is 1,8 x 105 per kPu mole fraction, calculate the percentage solubility by weight of carbon dioxide in water under these conditions and at a partial pressure of carbon monoxide of 120 kPa above the water.
Henry’s law states that the solubility of a gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas if the temperature is constant. Hyperbaric chambers, which provide high pressures (up to 6 atm) of either air or pure oxygen, are used to treat a variety of conditions, ranging from decompression sickness in deep-sea divers to carbon monoxide poisoning. Look up the Henry’s Law Constant (kH) for N2, O2, and CO2 in the textbook. a) Calculate the solubility (concentration in...
1- A sample of carbon dioxide gas at a pressure of 1.03 atm and a temperature of 210 °C, occupies a volume of 546 mL. If the gas is cooled at constant pressure until its volume is 443 mL, the temperature of the gas sample will be ______ °C. 2- A sample of nitrogen gas at a pressure of 831 mm Hg and a temperature of 81 °C, occupies a volume of 6.66 liters. If the gas is heated at...
A) As a technician in a large pharmaceutical research firm, you need to produce 100. mL of 1.00 mol L−1 potassium phosphate buffer solution of pH = 6.78. The pKa of H2PO4− is 7.21. You have the following supplies: 2.00 L of 1.00 mol L−1 KH2PO4 stock solution, 1.50 L of 1.00 mol L−1 K2HPO4stock solution, and a carboy of pure distilled H2O. How much 1.00 mol L−1 KH2PO4 will you need to make this solution? The Henderson–Hasselbalch equation in...
(8 pts) Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere dissolves in water to establish an equilibrium that can increase the acidity of aqueous solutions in the environment. This equilibrium is CO2 (g) ⇌ CO2 (aq), Kh = 3.1 * 10^2 at 25°C. Kh is called the Henry’s law constant, which relates the solubility of the gas CO2 in the aqueous solution, [CO2], to the partial pressure of CO2 over the solution, p(CO2): [CO2] (M) = Kh * p(CO2) (atm) During the preceding...

This equilibrium is CO2(g) = CO2 (aq), Kn= 3.1 x 10-2 at 25°C. Kh is called the Henry's law constant, which relates the solubility of the gas CO2 in the aqueous solution, [CO2), to the partial pressure of CO2 over the solution, p(CO2): [CO2] (M)= Kn · p(CO2) (atm) During the preceding decades, the atmospheric...

Practice 08: Reactions With Multiple Pathways Key In the presence of O ferrous ion, Fe is oxidized to ferrie lon, Fet. The rate law for this reaction depends on the pH, following one rate law when the pH is greater than 3.6 and a different rate law when the pH IN below 3.5.

Problem2 (a) Suppose outside temperature is 55 °F while the temperature inside a building is 72 F. The building is heated but not air conditioned, so the partial pressure of water vapor is the same both inside and outside the building. Finally, suppose the dew point outside is 40°F What is the dew point inside? What are the relative humidities inside and outside the building? (We are most comfortable if relative humidity is between 30% and 50%-This question shows why...
