2d. Bicarbonate does buffer the blood because carbonic acid is generated from dissolving CO2 (g) in liquid water: CO2 (g) + H2O (l) ↔ H2CO3 (aq) pKeq° = 2.52 at 37°C This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. Consequently, the reaction that really represents what’s happening when bicarbonate buffers the blood is: CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) ↔ HCO3- (aq) + H+ (aq). Calculate the equilibrium constant for this reaction (Hint: use Hess’s law and one of the...
