Blood Loss. Blood loss is the most common cause of anemia, especially iron-deficiency anemia. Blood loss can be short term or persist over time. Heavy menstrual periods or bleeding in the digestive or urinary tract can cause blood loss. Surgery, trauma, or cancer also can cause blood loss.
second most common cause of acid-base imbalance. recognized by low blood pH and HCO3- levels. indicated by rising blood pH and HCO3- levels, is much less common than metabolic acidosis. typical causes are vomiting of the acidic contents of the stomach and intake of excess base.
A salt is formed when the cation (positive ion) of an acid forms a compound with the anion (negative ion) of a base. The neutralization of a strong acid and a strong base results in a solution with a pH of 7 (neutral pH). The following is a table of common strong acids and strong bases:ased on these examples, we can also note that a neutralization reaction is also a double replacement reaction-this will help us predict the products that form in this type of reaction. To recall, a double replacement reaction has the form:
