OpenStudy (anonymous):

is blood acid base or neutral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the bloods PH is 7.4 so it will be neutral

OpenStudy (aaronq):

that's incorrect. pH 7 is neutral, anything above is basic (even if it's just slightly)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait let me check again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

from 7.35 to 7.45 it is considered as neutral@aaronq

OpenStudy (aaronq):

nope. neutral is strictly when \( [H_3O^+]=[OH^-]\). This only occurs at pH seven. At pH 7.4, \([H_3O^+]=10^{-7.4}=3.98*10^{-8}~M\) consequently, \([OH^-]=\dfrac{K_w}{[H_3O^+]}=2.51*10^{ -7}~M\) since \([OH^-]>[H_3O^+]\) it is considered basic. Not sure where you say that pH 7.4 is neutral, that source is incorrect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

too many calculations for my little mind i got my answer from google so maybe google is wrong :D

OpenStudy (aaronq):

google is definitely wrong here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe :/

OpenStudy (aaronq):

lol no it's not a "maybe", IT IS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well we need someone else to judge whose right @Abhisar

OpenStudy (somy):

Anything less than pH 7 is acidic anything more than pH 7 is basic 7 is neutral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so blood is basic?

OpenStudy (somy):

doubting brilliant mind of my @aaronq how can u do that @N.atia ?? lmao

OpenStudy (somy):

according to your information yes

OpenStudy (somy):

woah @aaronq this is something new for us to learn!!! apparently 'acidity' that we consider in chemistry is not same as in blood O.O that ith thooo weird

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Don't doubt @N.atia 's brilliance ! She meant that blood is slightly basic i.e \(\approx\) Neutral

OpenStudy (somy):

it is basic it is

OpenStudy (aaronq):

lol it's a pretty black and white distinction. It either is or it isn't. anything above pH 7 is basic. the end

OpenStudy (somy):

yesh yesh

OpenStudy (abhisar):

LOL

OpenStudy (abhisar):

No @N.atia is correct !

OpenStudy (aaronq):

plus we're all brilliant here

OpenStudy (aaronq):

haha oh be quiet @Abhisar lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i think @aaronq is correct

OpenStudy (aaronq):

it's not about who is correct and who isn't, it's about knowing the truth lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true

OpenStudy (abhisar):

ok jokes appart ! @N.atia for pH>7 (even 7.1) it's basic and for anything < 7 it's acidic. Only pH 7 is neutral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Abhisar got it :D

OpenStudy (abhisar):

however 7.1 , 7.3 are qualitatively very much similar to neutral. But still they will be considered as basic quantitatively.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

\(\huge\sf\color{green}{\text{✌゚\(\ddot\smile\) ✌゚}}\)

OpenStudy (somy):

SHUSH EVERYONE

OpenStudy (somy):

I am correct ❤_❤

OpenStudy (somy):

now peace ❤_❤

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Lol somy, when was violence happening ! :D

OpenStudy (aaronq):

@Somy is the bringer of peace

OpenStudy (abhisar):

yes !

OpenStudy (somy):

Yesh yesh my cutie pies :3 everyone here ish sho shmart ❤_❤

OpenStudy (aaronq):

so corny ;P

OpenStudy (somy):

ahahha lol
