The rate of acid production in infants and young children was quoted to be 1-2 mEq/kg/day but in fact, the sole reference used in all these instances did not permit such quantitation. In order to ...
Water molecules can break down into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions. \(H_{2}O(l)\rightleftharpoons H^{+}(aq)+OH^{-}(aq)\) This is a reversible reaction. A small proportion of water molecules break up ...
