- When travelling high altitude, one of the problem is alkalosis of the blood. Remember the equation for acid balance: CO2 + H2O ⇌ H2CO3 ⇌ HCO3− + H+ If there is a low amount of CO2 outside, then greater CO2 than normal will diffuse out of the lungs. This will cause the blood to become more basic. To counteract the problem, a drug may be taken to both lower the blood pressure and help correct the pH. To do this, it blocks a symporter of HCO3- and Na+ in the proximal tubule of the kidney. Q: How would blocking transport of HCO3- help to lower the pH of the blood?arrow_forwardRefer to chemical equation shown here to explain why carbon dioxide dissolved in water acts as a buffer. H2O+CO2<>H2CO3<>H++HCO3arrow_forwardWhat effect does increasing pH have on:? CaCO3(s) + 2H+1(aq) ⟷⟷ Ca+2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)arrow_forward
- The carbonic acid equilibria are shown below. Tissues that are aerobically active produce CO2. This causes this equilibrium to shift to the ______, which causes the pH of the blood to ______. H+ + HCO3- <--> H2CO3 <--> H2O + CO2 a) right; increase b) right; decrease c) left; increase d) left; decreasearrow_forwardThe normal range of the sodium electrolyte in the body is 134 to 145 mEq/L. The term mEq is dependent on the charge of the ion. Since sodium is a +1 ion, 134 mEq/L is the same as 134 mmol/L. An ion that has a greater positive or negative charge; however, will have 1 mEq for each positive or negative charge of the ion for every 1 mmol. For example, for Ca+2, 2mEq/1mmol. If the standard range of Magnesium in the body is 0.70 to 0.95 mmol/L, convert this value into mEq/L for the Mg2+ ion. (Use dimensional analysis to figure this out)arrow_forwardDuring the study on Fluids, Electrolytes and Acid-Base Balance (Ch 26), we've looked at respiratory and renal acidosis/alkalosis concerns. The amount of CO2 and HCO3- in the blood triggers mechanisms to help balance blood pH so that the environment for normal biochemical reactions taking place in the body is present. The use of buffers helps to make sure that the body's environment is just right so that all internal functions are working. The kidneys do much more than help regulate the amount of CO2 and bicarbonate in the body. The Removal and Regulation functions of the kidneys includes electrolyte balance to make sure all organ systems can function. Below is a list of electrolytes regulated by the kidneys: Sodium - Na+ Potassium - K+ Phosphate - PO43- Chloride - Cl- Calcium - Ca2+ Magnesium- Mg2+ Conditions of excessive amounts or too little amounts create abnormalities. Some of these abnormalities (hyper- or hypo- conditions) can be life threatening. Directions for the…arrow_forward

How many milligrams of Ca2+ are in 1.00 L of blood?arrow_forwardUse the law of mass action and the following equation: H2O + CO2 <-> H2CO3 <-> H+ + HCO3- to describe what happens to pH, HCO3-, and CO2 when there is an increase in H+ from a metabolic source.arrow_forwardFor dinner you eat 2 slices of a 14" thick crust pizza.

- Human blood has a pH of approximately 7.4 due to the carbonic acid/bicarbonate ion (H2CO3/HCO3−) buffer system. Any pH changes below 6.8 or above 7.8 can lead to death! Carbonic acid dissociates to form water and carbon dioxide in the equilibrium shown below. This process is crucial in respiration.H2CO3 (aq) ⇋ CO2 (g) + H2O pKa1 = 2.77 Carbonic acid dissociates in water to form the bicarbonate ion and the hydroxonium ion by the following equilibrium reaction:H2CO3 (aq) + H2O ⇋ H3O(aq)+ + HCO3− pKa2 = 3.70 (ii) Explain how a 25% increase in carbonic acid levels may impact the availability of lead if a tainted calcium supplement ends up on the local marketarrow_forwardThe amino acid alanine has two isomers, α-alanine and β-alanine.
