7.4
The normal pH of human arterial blood is approximately 7.40 (normal range is 7.35-7.45). Blood that has a pH below 7.35 is acidic, while blood pH above 7.45 is alkaline

Well, the pH of our blood is extremely important. The ideal pH level for your blood is right around 7.35 and our body goes to enormous lengths to maintain this level.
Because if your blood pH were to vary 1 or 2 points in either direction, it would change the electrical chemistry in our body, there would be no electrical power and in short order we would drop dead. As you can see, maintaining the right pH level in our blood is pretty important!! With this in mind a good way to avoid upsetting this delicate bio chemical balance would be to take a look at those things that can compromise the maintenance of the ideal pH level in our body. And the main culprit in is the creation of acid in our body. Acid actually strips away the negative charge from red blood cells. The result is that your red blood cells then tend to clump together and not flow as easily. This makes it much more difficult for them to flow easily through the bloodstream.
The primary cause of an acidic condition in our body is from what we put in our mouth. In other words, what we eat and what we drink. And it isn't how "acid" something may seem when we eat or drink it. It has to do with what is left over when we digest it.

7.35 - 7.45
"The most important thing that happens is that the hemoglobin
molecules (which carry oxygen, in the red blood cells) change
in acidic and basic conditions, to such that the affinity for
oxygen changes. As a result, the blood doesn't pick up enough
oxygen in the lung, or it doesn't deliver enough oxygen to the
rest of the body."

normal for arterial blood is 7.35 to 7.45
Venous normals are 7.25 to 7.35
the reason is that CO2 in venous blood is greater (45-55) thus the ph is more acidotic. in arterial blood it is lower (35-45 mm hg)

Arterial blood pH = 7.41 and venous blood pH = 7.36.
