Kim is a 38 year old woman admitted to the hospital for bulimia. Her laboratory results are as follows: pH 7.48, pCO2 in the normal range and total HCO3 higher than normal. Classify her acid- base balance as acidosis or alkalosis and as metabolic or respiratory and fully explain your reasoning for your choice Propose the mechanism by which bulimia contributed to the lab results seen here Include the equilibrium expressions chemically leading to this condition
