HCO3-+ H H2CO3 Figure 2-7 Carbonate Equilibrium Reaction 3. Which direction would the equilibrium reaction, in Figure 2-7, shift or go if the body became too acidic (an excess of hydrogen ions)?
Solution
Question number 8 :
Answer : Buffers are defined as the solutions that resists change in pH by the addition of small amounts of acids or bases. Buffers are usually consists of a weak acid and its salt (example : Acetic acid and sodium acetate) or a weak base and its salt (example : ammonium hydroxide and ammoinum chloride).
