Solution

The acid-base disorder caused by hyperventilation is Respiratory Alkalosis.

Here's why:

  1. Hyperventilation is a condition where you start to breathe very fast.

  2. Healthy breathing occurs with a healthy balance between breathing in oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide.

  3. If you hyperventilate, you will exhale more carbon dioxide than you produce. This causes the level of carbon dioxide in your blood to drop, making the pH of blood increase, leading to alkalosis.

  4. Since this condition is caused by hyperventilation (a respiratory process), it is termed as Respiratory Alkalosis.
