Reactions
The following reactions result in nonvolatile acids:
- sulfur-containing amino acid oxidations:
e.g. methionine or cysteine --> Urea + CO2 + H2SO4 --> 2H+ + SO42-
- phosphorus-containing compound metabolism --> H3PO4 --> H+ + H2PO4-
- cationic amino acid oxidation:
e.g. lysine or arginine -->Urea + CO2 + H2O + H+
- Non-metabolizable organic acid production:
HA --> H+ + A-
- Incomplete metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins --> e.g. lactic acid or keto-acids

Famous quotes containing the word reactions:
“Cuteness in children is totally an adult perspective. The children themselves are unaware that the quality exists, let alone its desirability, until the reactions of grownups inform them.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“In this Journal, my pen is a delicate needle point, tracing out a graph of temperament so as to show its daily fluctuations: grave and gay, up and down, lamentation and revelry, self-love and self-disgust. You get here all my thoughts and opinions, always irresponsible and often contradictory or mutually exclusive, all my moods and vapours, all the varying reactions to environment of this jelly which is I.”
—W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)
“We have all had the experience of finding that our reactions and perhaps even our deeds have denied beliefs we thought were ours.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
