What happens to the pH of water if there are aerobic respiring organisms in it and why does this occur?

First of all the pH of your blood plays the major role in controlling the respiration rate. Blood pH is directly linked to C02 levels as H+ + HC02- = C02 + H20 so as C02 levels rise the pH decreases. Your respiratory system is the body's number one way to immediately control pH while the kidneys and intestines are important for longer range control. Secondly when one hyperventilates they breath off their CO2 making the blood basic creating a metabolic alkalosis rather than an acidosis. People are told to breath into a paper bag, so that they can re-intake the CO2 they are breathing out to restore the appropriate pH before they pass out.


What happens to concentration of the hydronium ions as the pH decreases?

As the PH value decreases the acidity increases .When the PH value is 7 it is neutral. More than 7 it shifts to alkaline(basic) nature. Less than seven it will be acidic.


What happens to the amount of the hypochlorous acid in a swimming poolas the pH increases?

When you add acid to a swimming pool it actually decreases the pH level you add soda ash to increase the levels http://sacpoolservices.com


How does CO2 decrease the pH?

Adding water does not always decrease pH. pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions, also called hydronium ions. They are inversely related. More hydrogen ions means a lower pH. A base has a pH greater than 7 (neutral) because it has an increased amount of hydroxide ions which causes a lower amount of hydrogen ions. Adding more water to a base solution causes the concentration of the hydroxide ions to become less, thus due to equilibrium, causing the hydrogen ion concentration to increase. This does cause pH to become less ... decrease. But an acid solution does the exact opposite when water is added. It already has a large concentration of hydrogen ions, but as water is added the concentration decreases and this causes pH to increase.

What was the PH trend seen when adding CO2 to the water sample?

As CO2 is added to water, the pH usually decreases.


When blood CO2 levels increase does the pH increase or decrease?

It decreases.


What is the effect of hyperventilation on pH?

Blood pH is normally 7.35-7.45. With excess CO2 in the circulatory system, cabonic acid becomes present, which in turn decreases pH of blood. Thus, to return blood pH to a normal level, ventilation is increased to increase oxygen saturation and decrease CO2 saturation, which will then reduce the amount of carbonic acid, which will normalize blood pH.


What happen to the ph of pure water of ph 7 by passing a current of atmospheric air giving reason?

The pH value of the water decreases. because carbon dioxide from the air is dissolved in and reacts with the water, releasing hydrogen ions according to the equation CO2 + H2O -> CO3-2 + 2 H+1.


What is the pH level of seltzer water?

Approximate pH of 4, pH will vary based on the amount of CO2 as well as other minerals in the seltzer and the pH of the water.


What happens when breathing rate increases?

There are a number of things that happen when the breathing rate increases. The pH of the blood will slightly increase and the amount of carbon dioxide decreases among other things.


How is blood pH maintained by the respiratory system?

Respiration controls the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood. If respiration slows, CO2 increases, causing a respiratory acidosis. If respiration quickens or deepens, CO2 decreases, promoting a respiratory alkalosis. This is helpful if there is another process going on that impacts the pH of the blood. For instance, in diabetic ketoacidosis, the pH decreases in the blood due to the production of ketoacids. The respiratory system responds by increasing respiration and decreasing CO2 to help bring the pH of the blood up toward normal. The pattern of breathing patients in DKA develop is called Kussmaul breathing - deep and fast. This is a classic sign of DKA.

When pH decreases does hydrogen ion concentration increase or decrease?

Decreases, because pCO2 is an acid (carbonic acid gas). On the cellular level the CO2 diffuses into the red blood cell (from periferal tissue) and is in the combination with H2O forming H+ and HCO3-: CO2 + H2O <-> H2CO3 <-> H+ + HCO3-. The H+ cannot diffuse out (bigger concentration cause diffusion) of the red blood cell, because its membrane is relatively impermeable to cations. However, the bicarbonate (HCO3-) can diffuse, which leaves hydrogen-ions accumulated in the blood and the pH decreases.
