PH, PKa, Biological Buffering- Keagan Flashcards
Acid v base on protons
Acid- release proton
Base- accept proton
pH formula
pH= -log10[H+]
Factor of 10 difference in [H+]= __ pH unit
1.0 pH
Factor difference of 2 [H+]= __ pH
= 0.3 pH
Henderson- hasselbalch equation
pH= pKa + log ([A-]/ [HA])
PKa= -log Ka
Ka= [H+] [A-]/ [HA]
pH < PKa =
Protonated
pH > PKa=
Deprotonated
Respiratory acidocis
Decreased ventilation and increased Pco2
(Pco2> 40 mmHg/ HCO3- >24 mM)
After partial renal compensation
Metabolic acidocis
Decreased extracellular fluid HCO3-
HCO3- < 24mM
Pco2 <40 mmHg
After partial respiratory compensation
Respiratory alkalosis
Increased ventilation and decreased Pco2
Pco2<40mmHg
HCO3-< 24mM
After partial renal compensation
Metabolic alkalosis
Increased extracellular HCO3-
HCO3- >24mM
Pco2> 40 mmHg
