In the reversible reaction, CO₂ + H₂O ↔ H₂CO₃ ↔ H⁺ + HCO₃-, a decrease in respiration rate will increase the concentration of CO₂ in the blood. What will this do to the amount of H⁺ in the blood?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A decrease in respiration rate will increase the concentration of CO₂ in the blood, which will shift the equilibrium of the reaction to the left, resulting in an increase in the concentration of H⁺ in the blood.
