Respiratory acidosis is a condition that occurs when the lungs canât remove enough of the carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by the body. Excess CO2 causes the pH of blood and other bodily fluids to decrease, making them too acidic.
Phosphorus is commonly misspelled phosphorous. It is an essential component of living systems and is found in nervous tissue, bones and cell protoplasm. Phosphorus exists in several allotropic forms including white (or yellow), red, and black (or violet). White phosphorus has two modifications.
Phosphorus is a chemical element with symbol P and atomic number 15. As an element, phosphorus exists in two major formsâ white phosphorus and red phosphorus âbut due to its high reactivity, phosphorus is never found as a free element on Earth.Instead phosphorus-containing minerals are almost always present in their maximally oxidised state, as inorganic phosphate rocks.n 1769 Johan Gottlieb Gahn and Carl Wilhelm Scheele showed that calcium phosphate (Ca 3(PO 4) 2) is found in bones, and they obtained elemental phosphorus from bone ash. Antoine Lavoisier recognized phosphorus as an element in 1777. Bone ash was the major source of phosphorus until the 1840s.
