Acid Base Balance

What is the condition when you compensate by hyperventilating?

• Respiratory Acidosis

• Metabolic Acidosis

• Respiratory Alkalosis

• Metabolic Alkalosis

What is the body's compensation when having Respiratory Acidosis?

• The kidney's excretes HCO3-

• Your lungs will hyperventilate

• The kidney's will reabsorb HCO3-

• Your lungs will hypoventilate

pH= 7.55; pCO2= 55; HCO3= 55

• respiratory acidosis

• respiratory alkalosis

• metabolic acidosis

• metabolic alkalosis

pH= 7.32; PCO2= 22; HCO3= 20

• respiratory acidosis

• respiratory alkalosis

• metabolic acidosis

• metabolic alkalosis

pH= 7.38 ; PCO3= 28; HCO3= 26

• respiratory acidosis

• respiratoty alkalosis

• metabolic acidosis

• metabolic alkalosis

When an acid-base imbalance is caused by a metabolic disturbance, the pH and the HCO3 will move:

• In opposite directions

• Totally independent of each other 

• In the same direction

True or false: a neutral solution has equal amounts of H⁺ and OH^-.

• true

• false

buffer means

• Adding or removing OH ions to overcome any change in the ocean's PH

• Adding or removing carbon atoms to overcome any change in the ocean's PH

• Adding or removing H ions to overcome any change in the ocean's PH

n water solutions CO2 is present in many forms

• carbonic acid

• bicarbonate

• carbon dioxide

• A and B

In areas with a lot of photosynthesis the pH will be

• lower,because plants produce H ions

• higher, because CO2 is used by the plants

• neutral
