Question 55

Calculate the hydrogen ion concentration in the following biological fluids whose pH are given below:

(a) Human muscle-fluid, 6.83

(b) Human stomach fluid, 1.2

(c) Human blood, 7.38

(d) Human saliva, 6.4.

Answer

a) Human muscle fluid 6.83:

pH = 6.83

pH = - log [H+]

∴6.83 = - log [H+]

[H+] =1.48 x 10-7 M

 

(b) Human stomach fluid, 1.2:

pH =1.2

1.2 = - log [H+]

∴[H+] = 0.063

 

(c) Human blood, 7.38:

pH = 7.38 = - log [H+]

∴ [H+] = 4.17 x 10-8 M

 

(d) Human saliva, 6.4:

pH = 6.4

6.4 = - log [H+]

[H+] = 3.98 x 10-7
