55. Human blood is buffered by carbonic acid and bicarbonate ions.
Alkalosis is a condition caused by excess production of bicar-
bonate in the blood. A patient's blood plasma has a pH = 7.6
(pKa for H2CO3 at body temperature is 6.1).
MISSED THIS? Read Section 18.2; Watch KCV 18.2B, IWE 18.2, 18.3
[HCO3]
[H2CO3]
a. What is the ratio of
in the patient's blood?
b. The doctor gives the patient 0.45 g of HCl intravenously to
neutralize alkalosis. After treatment, the patient's blood is
0.0156 M in HCO3¯ and 0.0012 M in H2CO3. If the volume of
blood in the patient's body is 5.3 L, what is its new pH?
