:arrow: alveolar CO2 =10 since Pa CO2 = CO2 produced/ Alveolar ventilation .

If CO2 production did not increase, and only ventilation increased 4 times then alveolar CO2 must decrease by 4 times, cuz it is in equib with arteriolar CO2 which is being reduced by increased ventilation, leading to acute Resp Alk.
