One of the buffers that contribute to pH stability in human blood is carbonic acid (H2CO3). Carbonic acid is a weak acid that, when placed in an aqueous solution, dissociates into a bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) and a hydrogen ion (H+).
Thus, H2CO3 = HCO3- + H+
If the pH of the blood increases, one would expect:
(A) a decrease in the concentration of HCO3- and an increase in the concentration of H+
(B) an increase in the concentration of H2CO3 and a decrease in the concentration of HCO3-
(C) a decrease in the concentration of H2CO3 and an increase in the concentration of HCO3-
(D) an increase in the concentration of HCO3- and a decrease in the concentration of OH-
(E) a decrease in the concentration of HCO3- and an increase in the concentration of both H2CO3 and H+.
I'm not sure if it is C or D
