Draw equations to show how carbon dioxide affects the blood concentration of H+ (and thus the ph) and the blood concentration of
timurjin [86]

Explanation:

The equation that shows the equilibrium reaction of carbon dioxide in the blood is the following one:

<h3>CO₂ + H₂O   ↔   H₂CO₃   ↔   H⁺ + HCO₃⁻</h3><h3 />

This equation describes the bicarbonate buffer system which regulates the pH of the blood.

  • During hypoventilation, the CO₂ produced by the cells through metabolism is not released fast enough, so CO₂ levels in the blood increase. In this situation, the equation shifts towards the right, and an excess of protons is produced, therefore decreasing the pH and causing acidosis.

  • During hyperventilation the breathing is very rapid and CO₂ is exhaled from the body at a very fast rate. In this situation, the CO₂ levels in the blood decrease, the equation shifts towads the left and the concentration of H+ thus decreases, causing alkalosis.
