Human blood contains a buffer of carbonic acid (H_2 CO_3) and bicarbonate anion (HC〖O_3〗^-) in order to maintain blood pH betwee

n 7.35 and 7.45, as a value higher than 7.8 or lower than 6.8 can lead to death. In this buffer, hydronium and bicarbonate anion are in equilibrium with carbonic acid. Furthermore, the carbonic acid in the first equilibrium can decompose into CO_2 gas and water, resulting in a second equilibrium system between carbonic acid and water. Because CO_2 is an important component of the blood buffer, its regulation in the body, as well as that of O_2 , is extremely important. The effect of this can be important when the human body is subjected to strenuous condition.
Carbonic acid buffer:
H_2 CO_3 (aq)+ H_2 O(l) ↔H_3 O^+ (aq)+HC〖O_3〗^- (aq)
1. Write the equilibrium constant expression K_c for the carbonic acid buffer in the blood.

Kc = [H3O+][HCO3-] / [H2CO3]

Remember that Kc is products over reactants. Also, you do not include liquid water in a Kc expression, since liquid water has no concentration.

Help! ill give brainliest
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Magnesium is an alkali earth metal and chlorine is a nonmetal. Due to this, and their differences in electronegativity, the elements form an ionic bond. Since magnesium has two valence electrons, it will give them up to two chlorine atoms (which has 7 valence electrons), which needs them to complete its octet. From this, magnesium forms a cation, and will have the ion formula Mg(2+). The two chlorine atoms form anions, and will have the ion formula Cl(1-).

Terms:

  • Cation: a positively charged ion
  • Anion: a negatively charge ion.
  • Electronegativity: the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself.
