What is an acidity regulator?

An acidity regulator is a food additive used to control pH.


Your CO2 level has dropped from 25 to 11 What does this mean?

It means that you are hyperventilating. Some times this is the body's response to what is called acidosis, which is a low blood PH. Since carbon dioxide is an acid in the body, the body will increase the breathing rate to "blow off" some CO2 and raise the blood's PH. This is the body's fastest way to balance blood PH. If we are too acidic, then we blow off more CO2, if we are alkalotic, we slow our breathing down and retain CO2, thereby decreasing our blood PH. Another (slower) regulator of blood PH are the kidneys. When we are chronically acidotic, our kidneys will retain bicarbonate to raise the blood PH. When we are chronically alkalotic, our kidneys will excrete bicarbonate in the urine, thereby lowering the PH.


What allows you to eat acidic foods without changing your blood pH?

The buffers present in blood resist small changes in pH. The most prominent are phosphate and carbonate buffers in blood.


When is a buffer solution most effective?

A buffer solution is most effective when the concentrations of its conjugate acid-base pair are approximately equal, allowing it to resist changes in pH by neutralizing added acids or bases. Buffers work best within a pH range close to the pKa of the weak acid/base in the solution.


The pH of the blood is nearest to what number?

Blood pH = 7.40 (+/- 0.05) (THIS IS THE ANSWER TO THE PH OF BLOOD IS NEAREST TO WHAT NUMBER)=#7


At what pH is a buffer effective?

buffers help resist change in pH. In our bodies the normal pH is 7.4 which is slightly basic. If for some reason there are excess hydrogen ions in our bodies, the pH will drop and a buffer in the body will counteract this. For example bicarbonate, an important buffer in our bodies, will release bicarbonate ions that will combine with the hydrogen ions forming carbonic acid. Therefore the blood will not decrease in pH.


What is the most effective pH for extracting aqueous acetic acid into hexane?

The most effective pH for extracting aqueous acetic acid into hexane is typically around pH 2-3. At this pH range, acetic acid exists predominantly in its undissociated form, which is more soluble in hexane compared to its dissociated form. Adjusting the pH to this range can help improve the efficiency of the extraction process.


How does Ph regulate breathing?

The pH level in the blood is a major regulator of breathing through the medulla oblongata in the brain. An increase in CO2 leads to a drop in blood pH, causing the brain to signal an increase in breathing rate to expel excess CO2 and restore pH balance. Alternatively, a decrease in CO2 leads to a rise in blood pH, causing the brain to signal a decrease in breathing rate to retain CO2 and maintain balance.


What is the pH of blood of healthy person?

arterial blood pH = 7.41 and venous blood pH = 7.36. Because the normal pH of arterial blood is 7.41 a person is considered to have acidosis when the pH of blood falls below this value and to have alkalosis when the pH rises above 7.41. hope i helped :D
