Question
The Boston and Copenhagen schools were academic rivals that debated how this quantity is regulated. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this quantity. Unusually low values of this quantity are classified by whether the anion gap is normal or elevated.
ANSWER: blood pH
[10e] The Boston school proposed the “base excess,” a proxy for blood pH that is notably independent of the blood concentration of this gas. Respiratory acidosis occurs when too much of this gas enters the blood and then reacts with water to form acid.
ANSWER: carbon dioxide [or CO2]
[10h] The Boston and Copenhagen schools were supplanted by the Steward model, in which a difference named for these ions is one of the independent variables that determines pH. Sodium and chloride are the most abundant of these ions, so the “abbreviated” form of the difference named for them is just sodium minus chloride concentration.
ANSWER: strong ions [accept (abbreviated) strong ion difference or strong ion gap; prompt on answers referring to ions that completely dissociate or ionize in solution]
