Internal acid–base homeostasis is fundamental for maintaining life. Accurate and timely interpretation of an acid–base disorder can be lifesaving, but the establishment of a correct diagnosis may be ...
This lab includes a theoretical explanation of how buffers work and how they are made, including a derivation of the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. Students will use what they have learned to ...
An acid-base indicator is a substance that changes color as the pH of the solution changes. Indicators work because they are weak acids which when in solution, exist in equilibrium with their ...
To define "steady-state" chronic hypercapnia in man, we studied 20 patients with stable carbon dioxide tensions from 34 to 103 mm of mercury and with no apparent complicating disorders. The whole-body ...
An acid-base indicator is a substance that changes color as the pH of the solution changes. Indicators work because they are weak acids which when in solution, exist in equilibrium with their ...
Several theories have been developed to explain the behaviour of acids and bases. The most notable theories include the Arrhenius concept, the Brønsted-Lowry theory, and the Lewis concept. In the ...
Acids are chemical compounds that will ionize in water having a hydrogen ion (H+) active greater than that of water. Acids can give up a proton and they are of two types, it is strong acids and weak ...
