Given the following information, what is the pH? ratio of [HCO₃^-]/[CO₂] = 20/0.5 PK = 6.1 Log of 10 = 1.0 Log of 20 = 1.3 Log of 40 = 1.6 A)pH = 7.0 B)pH = 7.4 C) pH = 7.7 D) It is impossible to determine the pH with the information provided.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is: pH = pK + log([HCO3-]/[CO2])Substituting the given values: pH = 6.1 + log(20/0.5) = 6.1 + 1.3 = 7.4

Given the Following Information, What Is the PH? Ratio of [HCO3-]/[CO2]
