Expert Solution

Step 1

The pH can be described as the measure of hydroxide ions or hydrogen in a solution. The solutions having high hydrogen ion concentrations can be described as acidic solutions. The solutions having high pH or lower hydrogen ion concentrations can be described as alkaline solutions. Alkalosis is the condition in which blood pH of the blood becomes more basic. There are two forms of alkalosis: metabolic alkalosis and respiratory alkalosis.
