NO blood is NOT acidic
--
Actually blood Is NOT acidic it's a neutral usually between 6-7
if blood becomes acidic calcium ions are excreted from the body to retain homeostatic form in the body.
blood is basically neutral. its pH value is 7.8. but it does show some basic character. it does not exhibit acidic character. blood naturally has to be neutral because if it is acidic or basic, survival becomes impossible.

∙ 14y agoIt is slightly basic because it has a pH of 7.35-7.45(less than 7 would be considered an acidic.

∙ 14y agobasic! it's generally between 7.38 and 7.42, so slightly basic.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo, not really. It's a buffer... actually, it's a fairly complex mixture of several buffers.
Normal human blood pH is very slightly on the basic side of the scale, around 7.4.

∙ 7y agoSlightly on the base side of neutral. The normal blood pH is tightly regulated between 7.35 and 7.45.

What is the abbreviation for arterial blood tests to determine acid base balance?
Arterial Blood Gases (ABG's)
How can an acid turn to base?
An acid can turn into a base if you mix a much stronger base with it! That way the base acid overpowers the acid and makes the acid a base!
What best describes a bronsted lowry acid base reaction?
Acid + base conjugate base + conjugate acid
Is acetamide acid or base?

The normal ratio of base bicarbonate to carbonic acid is?
In blood it is (>)10 to 1 at pH 7.35
What are the buffer system of the blood?
The most important buffer for maintaining acid-base balance in the blood is the carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer.

How do Carbonic acid and Bicarbonate works to maintain t pH blood?
This is a conjugate acid/base pair that works as a buffer to keep the blood within acceptable pH range H2CO3 <-> HCO3 -
Does flour react with acid?
Flour is a base, not an acid.
