Summary Introduction
To review:
The change in H+ and OH– concentrations at peak of the reflux attack in comparison to the clinical value of acid reflux.
Introduction:
The gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which the pH in esophagus changes from neutral to acidic. This can be monitored in patients by tracing pH changes during sleep to detect the sleep reflux event.

In a hospital laboratory, a 10.0 mL sample of gastric juice, obtained several hours after a meal, was titrated with 0.01 M NaOH to neutral pH of 7.0; 72.0 mL of NaOH was required for this titration. The patient’s stomach contained no ingested food or drink, thus assume that no buffers were present.
What was the pH of the 10.0 mL gastric juice sample before titrating with NaOH?
Which statement below is false about the probability of the absorption of a weak base from the
following data? pka 4.5, stomach pH 2.5, small intestine pH 7.5.
O the substance will be mostly ionized in stomach
O the substance will be mostly non-ionized in the intestine
the substance can be absorbed both in stomach and small intestine
O the ratio of ionized and non-ionized substance will not favor absorption in stomach
the ratio of ionized and non-ionized substance will favor absorption in intestine
Chemical X is a contaminant present in low quantities in drinking water. Its molecular size is about 80
nm and it may bind briefly with plasma albumin. Chemical X is a weak base with a pka of 5. Assuming
the pH of the stomach is 1, the pH of the blood is 8, and the pH of the small intestine is 8.5, describe
the absorption, distribution, biotransformation and excretion of Chemical X in a human.

- The pH level of the human blood must be maintained at a pH within 7.35-7.45. Excess acidity or basicity in the blood, brought about by the food we take, would lead to disorder in the metabolic processes; at times, the right amount of oxygen will not be circulated to the tissues. Our natural filter, the kidneys, help preserve the normal pH level of the body. Discuss ways that we can do so as not to overwork our kidneys in order to maintain the pH balance of our body.arrow_forwardA patient is suspected of having low stomach acid, a condition known as hypochloridia. To determine whether the patient has this condition, her doctors take a 18.00 mL sample of her gastric juices and titrate the sample with 4.85 × 10-4 M KOH. The gastric juice sample required 1.26 mL of the KOH titrant to neutralize it. Calculate the pH of the gastric juice sample. Assume the sample contained no ingested food or drink which might otherwise interfere with the titration. pH = For the patient to be suffering from hypochloridia, the pH of the gastric juices from the stomach must be greater than pH 4.

The cells secrete HClHCl, proteolytic enzyme zymogens, mucin, and intrinsic factor. The pH of gastric juice is acidic, between 1–3. If the pHpH of gastric juice is 1.3, what is the amount of energy (Δ?)(ΔG) required for the transport of hydrogen ions from a cell (internal pH of 7.4) into the stomach lumen? Assume that the potential difference across the membrane separating the cell and the interior of the stomach is −60.0 mV−60.0 mV (inside of the cell is negative relative to the lumen of the stomach).
