Answer : the hydrogen ion concentrations for pH = 7.35 and pH = 7.45 are 4.46 x 10⁻⁸ M and 3.54 x 10⁻⁸ M respectively.
When the pH of a solution is less than 7, the hydrogen ion concentration is higher and therefore the solution is acidic.
On the other hand, when the pH of a solution is greater than 7, hydroxide ion concentration is higher and the solution acts as a base.
The normal pH range of blood is given as 7.35 - 7.45 which is greater than 7. That means blood is slight basic in nature.
Let us find hydroxide ion concentration of blood.
Ionic product of water is written as,
Let us plug in the calculated value of [OH-]
The hydrogen ion concentration for pH = 7.35 is 4.46 x 10⁻⁸ M
Calculation of [H+] for pH = 7.45
pOH = 6.55
[OH-] = 2.82 x 10⁻⁷
Similarly, for pH = 7.45, we get hydrogen ion concentration of 3.54 x 10⁻⁸ M.
