● The total carbonate pool in blood plasma (blood lacking red blood cells) is 0.025M and consist of both HCO3 and CO₂ (aq). The pka for the dissociation of H₂CO3 to produce HCO3 and H* at 37°C is 6.1. Because H₂CO3 is readily produced in blood from dissolved CO₂ (aq) + H2O (a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme carbonic and hydrase), CO₂ (aq) can be considered the conjugate acid and HCO3- the conjugate base in the bicarbonate buffering system. i. What is the ratio of HCO3 and CO₂ (aq) in blood plasma at pH of 7.4? ii. What are the individual concentrations of CO₂ (aq) and HCO3 under these same conditions?
