Metabolic acidosis - Water/Acid chemistry
applied
3
If a patient has a blood pH of 7.11 and a [CO2]
Carbonic anhydrases are a family of proteins
that catalyze the conversion carbon dioxide to
bicarbonate in the presence of water as shown
in the chemical equation below:
= 1.10 mM, what is the
[HCO3] in the patient's blood? Give your
answer by rounding to 1 decimal place; units
are mM, do not write units in the box.
CO2 + H20 =
H2CO3
2 H* +
Type your answer.
HCO3
Bicarbonate ions serve as a means to
transport CO2 produced in metabolism as
well as affect the buffering capacity of blood.
Normal values for blood are pH = 7.4,
[HCO3] = 24.0 mM, and [CO2] = 1.2 mM.
Also note for H2CO3 that pKa7 is 6.1 and
pKa2 is 10.3. Assume [H2O] is saturating.
