Chapter 25, Problem 41P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Two reasons should be listed that would causes a decline in pH levels below 7.35.

Concept Introduction:

pH regulation is very important for the human body. The human body has an optimal pH range of 7.357.45 . If the pH of the body goes beyond this range, then the body suffers from acidosis or alkalosis depending upon the value of the pH.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Two reasons should be listed which causes the pH of the body to go above 7.45

Concept Introduction:

Alkalosis is the condition when the pH of the body is above the level of 7.45 and this condition is caused when there is an excessive buildup of the base or alkaline in the body or when there is very less acid in the body.

- pH of Saliva The pH of saliva is normally in the range of 6.4 to 7.0. However, when a person is ill, the person's saliva becomes more acidic. (a) When Marco is sick, he tests the pH of his saliva and finds that it is 5.5. What is the hydrogen ion concentra- tion of his saliva? (b) Will the hydrogen ion concentration in Marco's saliva increase or decrease as he gets better? (c) After Marco recovers, he tests the pH of his saliva, and it is 6.5. Was the saliva more acidic or less acidic when he was sick?
