measurements taken will be through Arterial Blood Gas analysis which is used to diagnose the patient’s oxygenation levels, ventilation status, and acid-base balance. Normal PH blood levels are 7.35-7.45 which measures acidity or alkalinity. Normal Pco2 is 35-45 mmHg which measures carbon dioxide in the blood. Normal Bicarbonate is 22-26 mEq/L which acts as a buffer. Urinalysis PH levels range different from the morning to the evening. Neutral Urine PH level is 7.0. Morning levels are more acidic due to

Physical Science Chapter 14 1. There are two different elements in a water molecule. 2. Atoms heavier than hydrogen were made by nuclear fusion. 3. If we doubled the magnifying power of the most powerful optical microscope in the world, we would still not be able to see an atom. 4. Chemical compounds are made up of about 100 distinct elements. Atoms are the smallest subdivision of matter that still retains chemical properties of a substance. A quark is the smallest particle that exists. Electrons

Adding acids and bases can change these concentrations of ions in water • When acids dissolve in water, they donate H+, increasing the concentration of hydrogen ions. This results in an acidic solution • When bases dissolve in water, it can reduce the concentration of hydrogen by directly accepting H+ or indirectly by dissociating to form hydroxide ions. This results in a basic solution. • Acids remove hydroxide ions because of the tendency of H+ and OH- to form water molecules. Bases do the opposite

######## Chm 2046L/ ######## Antacids: Neutralizing Acid Within the Stomach Introduction: Knowing the acidity of a substance or environment can be very crucial to maintaining the safety of everything in the surrounding area. Humans have a strong acid within the stomach known as hydrochloric acid (HCl). HCl is essential as the body uses it to digest the food that comes in. Through this process is how humans can break down all the food eaten to take in the nutrients necessary for survival

Physiology 12 Benefits of Urine Analysis Abstract In this experiment each of our classmates was to give an analysis taken of the sample from their own urine. Each individual was assigned to a group of a specific fluid intake, or to a control group, which had no fluid intake. The fluids included were cranberry juice, water, and Gatorade. The experiment first began with participants emptying their bladders before the lab experiment was to begin, starting at 11.30 a.m. Then each individual
