Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A Blood PH of 7.48 is
A
Acidic
B
Normal
C
Basic
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The pH scale, ranges from 0 (strongly acidic) to 14 (strongly basic or alkaline). A pH of 7.0, in the middle of this scale, is neutral. Blood is normally slightly basic, with a normal pH range of about 7.35 to 7.45. Usually the body maintains the pH of blood close to 7.40.

Detailed explanation-2: -If pH = 7, then the solution is neutral. If pH > 7, then the solution is basic.

Detailed explanation-3: -If the pH is in the normal range (7.35-7.45), use a pH of 7.40 as a cutoff point. In other words, a pH of 7.37 would be categorized as acidosis, and a pH of 7.42 would be categorized as alkalemia.
