Calculate the hydrogen ion concentration in the following biological fluids whose pH are given below:
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.
(a) Human muscle fluid 6.83:
$\mathrm{pH}=6.83$
$\mathrm{pH}=-\log \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]$
$\therefore 6.83=-\log \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]$
$\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=1.48 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{M}$
(b) Human stomach fluid, 1.2:
$\mathrm{pH}=1.2$
$1.2=-\log \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]$
$\therefore\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=0.063$
(c) Human blood, 7.38:
$\mathrm{pH}=7.38=-\log \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]$
$\therefore\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=4.17 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{M}$
(d) Human saliva, 6.4:
$\mathrm{pH}=6.4$
$6.4=-\log \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]$
$\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=3.98 \times 10^{-7}$
