What is the pH value range of human blood ? |
7.1 -7.2 7.47 -7.58 7.35 -7.45 7.25-7.35 |
7.35 -7.45 |
The correct answer is Option (3) – 7.35 -7.45 An important property of blood is its degree of acidity or alkalinity. The acidity or alkalinity of any solution, including blood, is indicated on the pH scale. 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. |
