Acidaemia An arterial pH <7.35 Acidosis A primary physiological process where there is acid accumulation or alkali loss, that if uncompensated would lead to acidaemia Alkalaemia An arterial pH >7.45 Alkalosis A primary physiological process where there is acid...

Blood and extracellular fluid pH in health is maintained in a very narrow range, between 7.35 and 7.45: Represents a hydrogen ion concentration in the range of 45-35 nmol/L 106 times smaller than serum sodium concentration Intracellular pH is slightly lower, normally...
As described previously…Take the logarithm of each side…Subtract log [H+] from both sides to move it to the left…Subtract logKa from both sides to move it to right…Rewrite to express as pH and pKa...
Formula that describes the relationship between the pH of a solution, the dissociation constant of an acid and the ratio of acid and its conjugate base in the given solution: Allows the ratio of an ionized:un-ionized compound to be found, if the pH and pKa are...
