55.9 kPa; Variables given = volume (V), moles (n), temperature (T)
We must calculate <em>p</em> from <em>V, n</em>, and <em>T</em>, so we use <em>the Ideal Gas Law</em>:
<em>pV = nRT</em>
Solve for <em>p</em>: <em>p = nRT/V</em>
R = 8.314 kPa.L.K^(-1).mol^(-1)
<em>T</em> = (265 + 273.15) K = 538.15 K
<em>V</em> = 500.0 mL = 0.5000 L
∴ <em>p</em> = [6.25 x 10^(-3) mol x 8.314 kPa·L·K^(-1)·mol^(-1) x 538.15 K]/(0.5000 L) = 55.9 kPa
An individual is hospitalized and the initial blood work indicates high levels of
in the blood and a pH of 7. 47. This would indicate the individual probably has compensated respiratory acidosis.
A chronic illness usually leads to compensated respiratory acidosis because the kidneys have time to adjust to the delayed onset. Even if the
is elevated in a compensated respiratory acidosis, the pH is within the usual range.
The kidneys counteract a respiratory acidosis by increasing the amount of
that tubular cells reabsorb from the tubular fluid, the amount of
that collecting duct cells secrete while also producing
, and the amount of
buffer that is formed through ammoniagenesis.
Respiratory acidosis is frequently brought on by hypoventilation as a result of: breathing depression , paralysis of the respiratory muscles, diseases of the chest wall , abnormalities of the lung parenchyma and abdominal squeezing.
