Introduction:
Blood acts as the buffer system in our body. It helps in the transport of oxygen to tissues that get disrupted by even a small change in the pH of blood. The carbon dioxide (CO2) released during the

Some antacids are used by dropping a tablet into a glass of water, which results in significant fizzing, and then drinking the water. Is there any evidence to suggest there might be a chemical reaction involved? What is the evidence?
We usually say that a perfect buffer has its pH equal to its pKa. Give an example of a situation in which it would be advantageous to have a buffer with a pH 0.5 unit higher than its pKa.
In an experiment, what happens to the calculated molar mass after waiting an hour between thawing the frozen cyclohexane and adding the unknown compound, during which time some of the cyclohexane evaporated.
Will the molar mass be too large, too small, or unaffected? Explain.|
