Chapter 20, Problem 30RQ

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is a mathematical expression of the relationship between pH, HCO3 concentration, and dissolved CO2 concentration. One variant of the equation uses P P CO 2 instead of dissolved CO2 concentration:

Chapter 20, Problem 30RQ, The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is a mathematical expression of the relationship between pH, HCO3

  1. a. If arterial blood has a P CO 2 of 40 mm Hg and its HCO3 concentration is 24 mM, what is its pH? (Use a log table or calculator with a logarithmic function capability.)
  2. b. What is the pH of venous blood with the same HCO3−- concentration but a P CO 2 of 46 mm Hg?

The amount of calcium in physiologic fluids can be determined by a complexometric titration with EDTA. In one such analysis, a 0.100-mL sample of blood serum was made basic by adding 2 drops of NaOH and titrated with 0.001 M EDTA, requiring 0.238 mL to reach the end point. Report the concentration of calcium in the sample as miligrams of Ca per 100 mL. (Ca = 40.078 amu).
