Acids, Alkalines, Neutrals Flashcards
What is the pH range for Acids?
0-6.9
What is the range for Alkalines?
PH > 7 through 14
What ph does a neutral substance have?
7
Acid: Any substance, when added to water, releases _______
Hydrogen Ion (H+)
Alkaline: Any substance, when added to water, releases ________
Hydroxide Ion (OH-)
Any substance, if added to water, releases neither ____ nor _____
Neutral Substance:
(H+) Hydrogen ions;
(OH-) Hydroxide ions
Any substances that releases _______ amount of H+ and OH- is also a neutral
The same
Strongest acid
Lowest PH levels
Strongest Alkalines
Highest PH levels
What is the normal PH range for blood?
7.35-7.45
What is acidosis?
When the blood ph is below 7.35
What is alkalosis?
When the blood PH is above 7.45
How does the body keep blood between 7.35-7.45?
- Buffers (Proteins)
- Urinary System
- Respiratory System
How do buffers help keep blood PH balanced ?
They absorb/save H+ / OH- ions when you ingest something acidic / alkaline
Keep them for future uses to help regain balance
How does the urinary system help keep blood PH within normal range?
By filtering the waste
How does the respiratory system help regulate normal PH in blood?
By manipulating CO2 of the blood
