The presence of CO32", HCO3¯ and CO2 in body fluids helps to
stabilize the pH of these fluids despite the addition or removal of H*
ions by body processes. Ka,1 and Ka,2 for H2CO3 are 4.2*107 and
4.7*10-11, respectively. If the "normal" pH in blood plasma is 7.40,
identify the components that would provide the best buffer at this
pH.
