Chapter 25.4, Problem 25.14P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect on the pH of blood on taking a diuretic that results in the decrease in the plasma concentration of bicarbonate.

Concept introduction:

The pH of a solution is defined as negative log of hydrogen ion concentration in the solution. The acidity of a solution is directly proportional to the hydrogen ion concentration. Thus, a solution with low pH value is more acidic in nature.

The pH value below 7 shows acidic solution and pH value above 7 indicates basic solution.

The pH value 7 indicates the solution is neutral.
