9) In a healthy individual blood plasma has a pH of 7.40. A change of as little as 0.2 of a pH unit can result in serious medical consequences. One of the ways that blood pH is maintained is through a phosphate buffer (PK, = 7.2). A) What would the ratio of HPO, t0 H2PO, be in blood at pH 7.4? (3 points) to B) How much of a change in pH would you observe if during anaerobic repiration the plasma levels of lactic acid increased by 3 mM? (Hint. Assume phosphate levels are 100 mM and the lactic acid dissociates completely. Also, ignore any buffering by other blood components) (4 points)
