Question

Acidosis is a condition in which the blood pH drops below normal. Acidosis can be caused by metabolic or respiratory conditions. Explain the role of carbon dioxide in producing respiratory acidosis. (Chapter 7 in General, organic, and Biological Chemistry: An Integrated Approach, 4th ed.) A person who is hyperventilating suffers from alkalosis, a condition in which the blood serum pH is too high. Explain why breathing into a paper bag is a treatment for hyperventilation. An upset stomach can be caused by excess stomach a Why can baking soda (NaHCO_3) settle an upset stomach? a. Which substance, H_2PO^-_4 or HPO^2-_4, would appear in the urine in alkalosis? b. In acidosis? c. Explain. A student measured the pH of coffee and obtained the following results: caffeinated coffee pH 5.6 decaffeinated coffee pH 5.0 a. On the basis of this data, would you classify caffeine as an acid or base?_____ b. Explain,

Explanation / Answer

ans )1. acidosis is a condition at which your lungs cannot remove the carbo dioxide accumulated in the lungs.

the co2 in the lungs tends to decrease the ph of bloods and other fluids as co2 is a good absorber of basic compounds..

2. hyperventilation occurs due to lack of carbondioxide coming in to the lungs,due to which there will be increase i the ph of blood

by keeping the paper bag , the exhaled co2 is made to inhale repeatedly. by which the required co2 is obtained for the body

3. since baking soda is a base it neutralises the excess acid produced in the stomach.

4.HPO4- ions ina patient urine suffering with acidois and H2PO42- in a patient urine suffering withalkanosis
