The Group also deploys its expertise in the exploration, mining and safeguarding of valuable natural resources. In 2008, the companies of the BAUER Group employed some 8,600 people in over 60 countries and achieved total Group revenues of EUR 1.53 billion.
The main constituent of gastric acid is hydrochloric acid which is produced by parietal cells (also called oxyntic cells) in the gastric glands in the stomach.Its secretion is a complex and relatively energetically expensive process.he pH of gastric acid is 1.5 to 3.5 in the human stomach lumen, the acidity being maintained by the proton pump H+/K+ ATPase. The parietal cell releases bicarbonate into the bloodstream in the process, which causes a temporary rise of pH in the blood, known as an alkaline tide.
An acid plus an alkali makes a salt plus water. Hydrochloric acid makes chlorides. Sulfuric acid makes sulfates. Nitric acid makes nitrates. This is the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide.hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide sodium chloride + water. HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) NaCl(aq) + H2O(l). This is the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of sulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide.sulfuric acid + potassium hydroxide potassium sulfate + water. H2SO4(aq) + 2KOH(aq) K2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l). When ammonia is used as the alkali, ammonium hydroxide is formed in solution.ulfuric acid makes sulfates. Nitric acid makes nitrates. This is the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide sodium chloride + water.
