Consider the following: At 8:00 PM, a diabetic is found to have a blood pH of 7.33. His brain tells his diaphragm to contract more frequently so that his breathing rate increases. Considering homeostasis is restored, what effect would this have on his pH range, acidicity and hydrogen ion concentration?

    7.33 is a bit low. Breathing rapidly gets rid of CO2 a little faster, this reduces carbonic acid in the blood and pH will increase slightly.
