Question
Data collected for a particular subject during the acid baseexperiment were
time between urine collections = 30 min
urine volume collected = 73 mL
pH of urine = 7.12
Buffer-bound H⁺ concentration = 4.5 Âµmol/mL
Calculate the:
urinary minute volume (urine flow rate)
excretion rate of free H⁺ ions
excretion rate of total H⁺ (free and bound)Â Â
Then compare the excretionrate of free H⁺ ions and that for buffer-boundH⁺ and explain why the H⁺ excretion ratecalculated from urine pH underestimates total H⁺excretion.
Please provide a clear and detailedanswer to help me understand. Thank you!
