The corresponding amounts of NaHCO;. decomposable are therefore 51, 27 and 27 volumes per cent. In the case of curve I, however, the amount: of NaHCO3 at 40 mm. was 32 volumes per cent which, being less than the maximum of 51. will be entirely decomposed at zero carbon dioxide tension. This was found to be the case as shown in Fig. 2. In the case of curves II and III, where at 40 mm. carbon dioxide tension the NaUCCX is ap- proximately 55 volumes per cent, only 27 volumes per cent will be de- composed. This was found to be approximately the case as seen in Fig. 2. This calculation, of course, is admittedly the roughest sort of approximation from insufficient data and is offered only as a semi- quantitative explanation of the phenomenon of incomplete decomposition 80 70 60 h 2 U u tk u a 5° 40 x O Q 20 O g. 10 u TURTLE FRO& AMPHIUMA HUMAN CARP 10 20 30 40 50 60 DIOXIDE TENSION 70 80 100 FIG. 3.
