For the dissociation reaction of a weak acid shown below, begin with defining the Ka and show all the steps for the derivation of the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. 
The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for the blood bicarbonate system is shown as follows: 
a. Calculate the
ratio for a blood pH of 5.8.
b. Is this patient experiencing acidosis or alkalosis? Why?
c. What can the body due to restore the blood pH to normal?
