in a liquid that is acidic. The first part of chemical digestion is in the mouth‚ this liquid is called saliva. Saliva is a clear type liquid; this liquid is thicker than water. Saliva is produced in the mouth by salivary glands. Saliva has a medium pH level (6-7)‚ so it is slightly acidic so it does not digest the food into smaller atoms as much as the stomach. When the food goes down the oesophagus to the stomach‚ saliva is used as a lubricant to help the food slide down the tube. Once the food

Plasma PCO2 level decreases Which of the following is correctly matched? Alkalosis and Hypokalemia Body fluid pH will rise dramatically when which condition occurs? Large amounts of bicarbonate are ingested As other mechanisms prepare to respond to a pH imbalance‚ immediate buffering is a result of an increase in which

What type of disturbance is Gossip suffering from and what might cause this? If his PCO2 were elevated‚ would your answer change? Explain. 2. Diabetes mellitus produces many homeostatic imbalances‚ including acidosis. The pH imbalance is due to ketoacidosis‚ which results from excessive accumulation of byproducts of fat metabolism‚ as the body

DIFFUSION= The movement of atoms or molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Atoms and small molecules can move across a cell membrane by diffusion. OSMOSIS= Diffusion of fluid through a semipermeable membrane from a solution with a low solute concentration to a solution with a higher solute concentration until there is an equal concentration of fluid on both sides of the membrane. SELECTIVE PERMEABLE MEMBRANE=a membrane (as a cell membrane) that allows

Chemical decomposition can be defined as the separation of chemical compounds into smaller‚ simpler compounds (New World Encyclopedia‚ 2009). It is often considered an undesirable outcome of a chemical reaction. Radiation‚ humidity‚ heat‚ and acidity affect the stability of chemical compounds. Molecules‚ when put under harsh environmental conditions may break up into smaller particles. Decomposition can also be defined as the breakdown of one phase into two or more phases. Thermal‚ electrolytic‚

As HCl drops are added‚ the indicator colour will change momentarily to colourless as the pH is lower in the area around the drop(s). As the endpoint nears‚ the clear colour disappears more slowly as the solution has a lower pH than when the titration started. 3) What ions are taking part in the neutralization reaction?
