Answer:

The correct answer is carbonic acid.

Explanation:

The acid-base homeostatic mechanism known as the bicarbonate buffer system involves the balance of bicarbonate ion, carbonic acid, and carbon dioxide in order to sustain pH in the duodenum and in the blood, along with other tissues for maintaining adequate metabolic activities. As with the buffer system, the pH is monitored by the existence of both the weak acid, that is, the carbonic acid, and its conjugate base, like bicarbonate ion, so that any extra base or acid presented to the system getting neutralized. In the bicarbonate buffer system, the carbonic acid reacts with a base to balance the system.

Why is it important to know what temperature scale is being used in a given situation?
Arisa [49]
It depends, for example, it is quite important to know the Kelvin scale (i.e 0 degrees Celsius is 273 K and -273 degrees Celsius is 0 K ) when dealing gases. But I don't know other situations where you would need to know other temperature scales.

Hope this helps and also if you are using Fahrenheit 1 Fahrenheit is -17.22 degrees Celsius
