Summary Introduction
To review:
The following structure of acetone and whether it affects the bicarbonate or carbonic acid buffer system in the blood.
Introduction:
Acetone is also known as propanone, which is the organic compound, and its appearance is colorless. It comes in a form of volatile and inflammable liquid and it is known to be the simplest and tiniest

Using the Friedewald equation, compute for the LDL-chol. of the patient.Use the mmol/L, so, if you have results in mg/dL like HDL, convert it first to mmol/L.
Triglyceride concentration : 0.679mmol/L
Cholesterol concentration:
4.843 mmol/L
HDL: 49.3 mg/dL
Carbonic anhydride is an enzyme that is found in red blood cells. What do you think is the ideal temperature and pH for carbonic anhydride ? Why
A cholesterol screening has reported Toms blood serum contains 50mg/dal HDL and 180 mg/dal LDL and a total cholesterol of 255. What is the LDL/HDL ratio? Is this value considered in the healthy range?

The only acid-neutralizing ingredient in this brand of antacid is CaCO3. When placed in 12.07 mL of 1.070 M HCl, the tablet fizzes merrily as CO2(g) is givenoff. After all of the CO2 has left the solution, an indicator is added, followed by 11.74 mL of 0.5310 M NaOH. The indicator shows that at this point the solution is definitely basic. Addition of 5.12 mL of 1.070 M HCl makes thesolution acidic again. Then 3.17 mL of the 0.5310 M NaOH brings the titration exactly to an endpoint, as signaled by the indicator. Compute the percentage by mass of CaCO3 in the tablet.arrow_forward
