In the blood, carbonic acid/bicarbonate is an effective buffer system that is linked to the CO2 dissolved in the blood. Explain the equilibrium. Explain why, when we hold our breath, we are risking respiratory acidosis, and when we hyperventilate we risk respiratory alkalosis.

what is the effect of an increase of carbon dioxide in the blood due to an obstructive lung disease such as pneumonia?

a. the pH of the blood plasma increases because of the increase of CO₂
b. This condition is referred to as respiratory alkalosis.
c. the pH of the blood plasma will be less than 7.40 because of the aditional carbonic acid (H₂CO3)
d. This is reerred to as metabolic acidosis because extra acide is neutralizedby metabolic bases.
e. There is no effect because the kidneys compensate for the problem.

given: for carbonic acid you should recall that pK1= 6.35 and pK2= 10.26

a) a piece of dry ice is dropped into distilled water - dissolved CO2 will be approximately 0.0035M, at room temperature. calculate the pH of the solution.

b) the main buffer in blood plasma is the "bicarbonate" (hydrogen carbonate) buffer system of CO2 and NaHCO3. the concentration of NaHCO3 is near 0.010M. if the optimal blood acidity is pH= 7.40, calculate the molarity of CO2 in blood plasma.
