Expert Solution
Step 1
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an acidic oxide and in blood, CO2 hydrolysis to form carbonic acid and that implies to gives proton ( H+ ) while dissolving in water: CO2 dissolving will cause a decrease in pH, making it more acidic, the more acidic a solution is, the lower its pH will be.
