Re: Blood as a Buffer Solution
2 H2O + CO2 H2CO3 + H2O H3O+ + HCO3
our body uses a feedback mechanism used to maintain homeostasis. the Carbonic Acid- bicarbonate ion-buffer system is used to regulate the pH levels in our blood. When our blood pH becomes acidic the buffer favors the forward reaction to increase the pH and when our blood pH becomes basic, the buffer favors the reverse reaction to decrease the pH.
