The pH of a bicarbonate-carbonic acid buffer is 6.62. Calculate the ratio of the concentration of carbonic acid ( H2CO3 ) to that of the bicarbonate ion ( HCO3− ).
( Ka1 of carbonic acid is 4.2 × 10−7. )
[ H2CO3 ]/ [ HCO3− ] =
here only first ionisation has happened so we have to deal only with Ka1 we will get the answer

The pH of a bicarbonate-carbonic acid buffer is 5.96. Calculate the ratio of the concentration of carbonic acid (H2CO3) to that of the bicarbonate ion (HCO3−).(Ka1 of carbonic acid is 4.2 × 10−7.) [ H2CO3 ] [ HCO3− ] =
Carbonate buffers are important in regulating the pH of blood at 7.40. If the carbonic acid concentration in a sample of blood is 0.0010 M, determine the bicarbonate ion concentration required to buffer the pH of blood at pH = 7.40. H2CO3(aq) = HCO3- (aq) + H+ (aq) Ka, = 4.3 x 10-7 27 Concentration =
Calculate the pH and concentration of species present in a polyprotic acid solution.For a 3.44×10-3 M solution ofH2CO3, calculate both the pH and the CO32- ion concentration.H2CO3 + H2O → H3O+ +HCO3-Ka1 = 4.2×10-7HCO3- + H2O → H3O+ +CO32-Ka2 = 4.8×10-11pH =[CO32-] =

Which of the following statements describes what happens when a small amount of a strong acid is added to the buffer system: A. the amount of bicarbonate increases B. the amount of bicarbonate decreases C. the amount of carbonic acid increases D. the amount of carbonic acid decreases E. both b & c
The pH of blood plasma is 7.40. The principal buffer system is HCO3?/H2CO3. Calculate the ratio [HCO3?]/[H2CO3] in blood plasma. (Ka of H2CO3, carbonic acid, is 4.5 × 10?7) Enter your answer in the provided box.
In waters affected by acid rain the concentrations of the three carbonic acid species (H2CO3, HCO3-, CO32-) are determined by concentration of the strong acid deposited by acid rain, as well as the concentration of H2CO3 which is controlled by the solubility of carbon dioxide . Under these conditions (constant H2CO3 and relatively low pH) the only carbonic acid equilbrium of importance is the conjugate base reaction of HCO3-, which is related to, but not identical to - and not...
