Law of Mass Action CA CO2 + H2O H2CO3 H+ + HCO3- AT EQUILIBRIUM, [H+] x [HCO3-] K = [H2CO3] [H+] x [HCO3-] = SOLUBILITY x PCO2
[H+] x [HCO3-] K = 0.03 x PCO2 WHICH, AFTER TAKING LOGS, BECOMES: [HCO3-] pH = pK + Log( ) 0.03 x PCO2 - THE HENDERSON - HASSELBALCH EQUATION
[HCO3-] pH = 6.1 + Log( ) 1.2 PCO2 = 40 24 PLASMA [HCO3-], meq/l NORMAL 7.40 pH
