Calculate the pH of a blood plasma sample with a total CO₂ concentration of 25.6 mM and bicarbonate concentration of 24.5 mM. The relevant pKa of carbonic acid is 6.1. Enter the answer with three significant figures. pH = Hyperventilating can result in a decrease in CO₂(g) concentration in the blood. How would this affect the pH of the extracellular fluid? The pH does not change appreciably. The pH increases. The pH decreases.

Human blood has a pH of approximately 7.4 due to the carbonic acid/bicarbonate ion (H2CO3/HCO3−) buffer system. Any pH changes below 6.8 or above 7.8 can lead to death! Carbonic acid dissociates to form water and carbon dioxide in the equilibrium shown below. This process is crucial in respiration. H2CO3 (aq) ⇋ CO2 (g) + H2O pKa1 = 2.77 Carbonic acid dissociates in water to form the bicarbonate ion and the hydroxonium ion by the following equilibrium reaction:H2CO3 (aq) + H2O ⇋ H3O(aq)+ + HCO3− pKa2 = 3.70 (i) If there is a 25% increase in carbonic acid levels as per pKa1, explain how the body would deal with this change.
