Answer:
The correct option is the pKa of acetic acid or acetate.
Explanation:
The blood pH is affected by hyperventilation since it triggers hypercapnia, an increase in metabolic acids and therefore a decrease in blood pH.
Excessive consumption of sodium bicarbonate, since this would alkalize the blood, and finally, prolonged fasting or excessive hunger generates the degradation of fat sources, with the consequent formation of ketone bodies as a product, and therefore entering a metabolic acidosis.
