Chapter 15, Problem 24SAE
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The normal range of blood pH level is specifically regulated between 7.35 to 7.45. The presence of acid-base buffering system helps in the regulation of blood ionic and electrolyte composition. The bicarbonate buffer system is peculiar segments of the physiologicalhomeostatic mechanism. it maintains the number of bicarbonates, carbonic acids, and carbon dioxide.
To determine:
The reason for the weak base being better at buffering acidic blood pH than a strong base.
