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 equilibrium expressions from question 2ci above). Would you expect this to be an adequate buffer system at physiological pH? Explain.

My answer to 2ci:

2c. The pKa’s for carbonic acid and bicarbonate at 37°C are 3.83 and 10.25, respectively.

i. Write the equation for each of these equilibria.

H₂CO₃ + H₂O ⇄ HCO₃⁻ + H₃O⁺ (pKa = 3.83)

HCO₃⁻ + H₂O ⇄ CO₃²⁻ + H₃O⁺   (pKa = 10.25)

Q6 A stock of X Co. just gave a dividend of Rs6 per share. Is is expected that dividend will grow by 8.00% over the next 3 years (0-1, 1-2, 2-3years). Beyond 3 years, X co. will be retaining 50% of the earnings and investments in a project which is expected to return a 10% p.a. (EAR) return on equity(ROE) from the investment. This retention ratio of 50% is going to continue forever there after, and the ROE is also expected to continue at 10% p.a. EAR forever thereafter, Hence , growth rate in dividends beyond three years till perpetuity will be 5% p.a.(EAR). The relevant cost of equity capital is estimated at 10% pa. compounded annually. what is the intrinsic value of the stock of X co.?
