In acid-base balance, the kidney is responsible for 2 major activities: 1  Reabsorption of filtered bicarbonate: 4,000 to 5,000 mmol/day. 2  Excretion of the fixed acids (acid anion and associated H +): about 1 mmol/kg/day..4.3 Bicarbonate Reabsorption. Daily filtered bicarbonate equals the product of the daily glomerular filtration rate (180 l/day) and the plasma bicarbonate concentration (24 mmol/l). This is 180 x 24 = 4320 mmols/day (or usually quoted as between 4000 to 5000 mmols/day).
Mixing water and sugar produces a mixture that is called a solution. In chemistry labs, this is often an experiment used to demonstrate the solubility of a solute in a solvent. In this experiment, the solute is sugar, and water is the solvent. Continue Reading. To form the solution, sugar dissolves in a glass of water.
Mixed drinks may be muddled by working a spoon to crush and mix ingredients such as mint and sugar on the bottom of a glass or mixer. Spoons are employed for mixing certain kinds of powder into water to make a sweet or nutritious drink.
