Introduction:
The normal ratio of HCO3− (bicarbonate ions) and H2CO3 (carbonic acid) in blood is 20:1. It means that for every H2CO3 molecule, 20 bicarbonate ions are formed to regulate the normal pH (potential of hydrogen) of the blood. The

Determine the type of acid-base imbalance and the corresponding compensation according to the following results from the arterial-blood-gas test.
Blood pH: 7.25PCO2: 35 mmHgBicarbonate concentration: 18 mmol/L
(b) Give one possible medical condition that leads to the acid-base imbalance in (a).
A 2-year-old child presents with metabolic acidosis after ingesting an unknown number of flavored aspirin tablets. At presentation, her blood pH was 7.0. Given that the pKa of aspirin (salicylic acid) is 3, calculate the ratio of its ionized to un-ionized forms at pH 7.0.
given the pCO2 and pH of systemic arterial blood, be able to identify the type of acid-base imbalance (respiratory acidosis, respiratory alkalosis, metabolic acidosis, metabolic alkalosis). After identifying the type of acid-base imbalance, be able to determine what type of compensation will occur to restore pH
