1) C; 2)D; 3)B; 4)B; 5) A

Explanation:Interpreting the following Arterial Blood gases, we have

1. pH 7.33 PaCO2 60 HCO3  34Respiratory acidosis with partial compensationC

2. pH 7.48 PaCO2 42 HCO3 30. Metabolic alkalosis without compensationD

3. pH 7.38 PaCO2 38 HCO3 24 Normal---B

4. pH 7.21 PaCO2 60 HCO3 24 Respiratory acidosis without compensationB

5. pH 7.48 PaCO2 28 HCO3 20 Respiratory alkalosis with partial compensation

The Arterial blood gas interpretation  from analysis shows  the pH and the partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the arterial blood of an individual which can detect how well the lungs are functioning thereby making a physician make a diagnosis, estimate  the severity of a condition and profer treatment.

sure what is it? ^w^

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
