The correct answer is Metabolic alkalosis (D). A pH of 7.48 shows slight alkalinity, this normal concentration of Co2 in the blood ranges from 35 mmHg (millimetre Mercury) to 45 mmHg and the normal HCo3 ( Hydrogen trioxo carbonate ion) concentration ranges from 22mEq/L to 26mEq/L.
Therefor the patients pH level is high the Co2 level is normal and the HCo3 level is high. Hence, Metabolic alkalosis
The answer is Carbon. Beyond being the only element listed here that is located in the second row, it is also in the fourteenth column of the table if you count from left to right. Hope this helps!
