Answer»

A. False The range is normally between 7.35 and 7.45. 

B. False They express it as the negative logarithm of the [H+] in moles/litre. 

C. False PCO2 raises [H+] and hence lowers pH. 

D. True [HCO3- ] lowers [H+] by buffering and hence raises pH. 

E. True The normal diet leaves acidic, rather than alkaline, residues.
