First you have to know first about inhalation and expiration
Inhalation : We take oxygen from outside into our body
Expiration : We release carbon dioxide from our body
We need oxygen to burn our food an make energy, that is why we inhale it.
Now, where does CO2 (carbon dioxide) comes from? because we only inhale oxygen, right?
The food that we eat is burnt by oxygen to produce energy and CO2.
The CO2 is dangerous for our body and hence should be taken away from our body. This is why if there is less oxygen and more carbon dioxide in the air, we tend to exhale faster.
And because there is less oxygen, the body wants us to inhale faster to get more oxygen. Hence, the faster breathing.

respiratory rate will increase
An increase in diffusion rates in tissues favours oxygen movement from the capillaries to the tissues, and carbon dioxide from the cells to the blood. Also With some training these rates increase, allowing oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse more rapidly.
A person's breathing rate influences the level of CO2 in their blood. Breathing that is too slow or shallow causes respiratory acidosis, while breathing that is too rapid leads to hyperventilation, which may cause respiratory alkalosis.
Decreased breathing rate > more Co2 and less O2 in blood > more acidity > Lower PH level
An increase in carbon dioxide (hypercarbia or hypercapnia) will cause an increased breathing rate.
If the level of carbon dioxide increases, the repiratory centers are signaled to increase the rate and depth of breathing. This will result in the return of normal CO2 (carbon dioxide) and slows the breathing rate.

When carbon dioxide levels increase.
carbon dioxide increases
levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. When carbon dioxide levels rise, the breathing center stimulates the muscles of respiration to increase breathing rate and depth. This helps to eliminate excess carbon dioxide and restore a balance in blood gas levels.
Breathing rate is controlled by the level of carbon dioxide.
increase the rate and increase the depth of breathing.
The increase amount of carbon dioxide in the blood stimulates is called the autonomic nervous system. This is what controls breathing.
There are a number of things that happen when the breathing rate increases. The pH of the blood will slightly increase and the amount of carbon dioxide decreases among other things.
Hyperventilation. In other words, consciously overriding your natural breathing rhythm set by the brainstem and physically breathing faster.
