Answer:
pH increases (i.e. alkalosis occurs) if either [HCO3–] increases or pCO2(a) decreases. pH decreases (i.e. acidosis occurs) if either [HCO3–] decreases or pCO2(a) increases.
The acidity or alkalinity of any solution, including blood, is indicated on the pH scale. The pH scale, ranges from 0 (strongly acidic) to 14 (strongly basic or alkaline). A pH of 7.0, in the middle of this scale, is neutral. Blood is normally slightly basic, with a normal pH range of about 7.35 to 7.45.
