When you take Sodium Bicarbonate for an upset stomach, you: a. should expect to burp CO2 gas. b. should also take Sodium Aluminum Phosphate. c. are inhibiting the yeast in your stomach that is converting lactose into alcohol. d. are using a “buffering agent” to alter the pH to a level near the buffering agent’s “balance point”. e. are neutralizing the acid that is escaping from your stomach into your esophagus

Consider the scenario below: A 40-year-old woman was rushing to get to her workplace before office time. What do you think would have happened to her blood's pH? _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ What would be the effect on pH once she reaches her office, but continues to breathe hard for a few minutes? __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ Why? __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ A weak acid causes her issue. She ingested far too much aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, and ended up in the emergency room (ER). The pH range within which humans can survive is between pH 6.8 and about pH 8.0. The woman's pH is outside of this window. What do you think would have happened to her?…
