pH is a measure of the hydrogen concentration in solution. Calcium in
solution is a a divalent cation. If i add 100's of millimoloes of calcium
to a pH standard, it will not move. On top of getting a physiology book,
maybe you should get a general chemistry book as well. The body controls
pH by the bicarbonate carbonate buffer system.
