Answer #1

An increase in acidity of the blood is consistent with which of the following:

An increase in proton concentration (As acidity is high proton concentration) True (A)

An increase in HCO3-concentration (As the HCO3 functions as an alkalotic substance)      False (B)

A decrease in pH (As pH decreases in acidity and increases in alkalinity)       True (A)

An increase in the ratio of bicarbonate to dissolved carbon dioxide (The primary pH buffer system in the human body is the HCO3/CO2 chemical equilibrium system in which the HCO3 functions as an alkalotic substance and the CO2 (carbon dioxide) functions as an acidic substance, (Joshua, 2018)             False (B)

    1) why is CO2 the conjugate acid of bicarbonate? Please explaing CO2 (g) + H2O(l) ⇄ H2CO3 (aq) 2) Exercise increases metabolism and thus increase the amount of CO2 in the blood. Following a bout of intense exercise, the pH of your blood was found to be 7.1 and the HCO3− concentration in the blood to be 8 mM. Remember the overall reaction for the bicarbonate buffering system in the blood can be written as: H2CO3 (aq) ⇄ HCO3- (aq)...
