A pH of 7.8 in the body typifies a condition referred to as alkalosis. It is characterized by a plasma pH greater than 7.45; associated with a relative deficiency of hydrogen ions or an excess of bicarbonate ions.

What is the human body cells average pH?
An average human body cell has an alkaline pH. This means it is above 7. Normally, a human cell will average 7.35-7.45 on the pH scale.
What substance has a pH close to 78?
A pH 78 doesn't exist.
What are some examples of pH in the human body?
3 pH within the suger walls...
Why does the changes in pH of the body fluids during illness threaten life?
Every cell in the human body functions at a very small range on the Ph scale; any variance from this can cause death or illness. The Ph is regulated by the kidneys and lungs. Look up Ph at www.wikipedia.com; it is too extensive to go into here.
Do all human bodies have the same pH?
no. Not only do different human bodies have different pH, but different parts of the same body have different pH also. There are a variety of different chemical environments within a single body.
Does a decomposing human body raise the pH level in surrounding soil?
According to forensic scientists, decomposing bodies in soil tends to raise the ph. levels because the body releases ammonium ions which cause soil to become more acidic.
What is the pH of skin?
A normal pH level in the human body is about 7.4, fairly neutral. The pH of skin in an adult should be around 5.4.
What pH is the skin?

Does the human body have an average pH?
Yes. It's 7.35-7.45
What substance has a close pH to?
A pH 78 doesn't exist.
What conclusions can you make about the pH in human body cells?
The normal PH level in human body cells is between 7.35-7.45. When it becomes 7.2 it is acidic (acidosis) When it becomes 7.0 it results in death
Do you think that every enzyme in the human body is most active at the same pH?
Personally no. I'd imagine enzymes throughout the body have environments that have varying pH levels. Although, pH is how many hydrogen+ ions there are. Many cells in the body may have the same or very similar pH levels but some parts of the human body may have higher or lower levels, meaning that the optimum pH for the enzyme depending on which part of the body it catalyses within.
