H2CO3 is not used as buffer.
hco3- + h+ <---> h2co3
There are many buffers in the body. These buffers can be found in the mouth and in the stomach to aid in digestion.
H2CO3, also known as carbonic acid, can be produced by combining CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water). To make sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3), you can react sodium (Na) with carbonic acid (H2CO3), resulting in the formation of NaHCO3.
H2CO3 = Carbonic acid It is made by dissolving Carbon dioxide into Water. H2O + CO2 ----> H2CO3

Sodium carbonate and and sodium hydrogen carbonate form a buffer solution.
Buffer systems help to maintain constant plasma pH. There are three buffer systems: Protein buffer system, phosphate buffer system and bicarbonate buffer system. Among these, the bicarbonate buffer system is the most predominant. Buffer Systems function as "shock absorbers" that accept excess H+ ions or OH- ions and keep blood pH constant. For example, if there is an increase in acidity of blood due to excess HCl (a strong acid), then NaHCO3 (Sodium bicarbonate) will buffer it to a weak acid (H2CO3). HCl+NaHCO3 = NaCl+H2CO3

The buffer system that operates in blood plasma is the bicarbonate buffering system. The chemical equation for this system is the following CO2 + H2O <--> H2CO3 <--> HCO3- + H+.

HCO3- and H2CO3 (mono- and di-hydrogen carbonic acid)
H2CO3, also known as carbonic acid, can be produced by combining CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water). To make sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3), you can react sodium (Na) with carbonic acid (H2CO3), resulting in the formation of NaHCO3.
If the solution is not a buffer, the HCl will react with the solution to form a product.
The question is wrong. H2CO3 is formed when we introduce CO2 in water. H2CO3 can't exist in non-aqueous solutions, can't be a solid nor a gas. So we can't dissolve it in water. And H2CO3 is definitely an acid. A weak one, but still an acid.By the Bronsted-Lowry definition of acids and bases, a conjugate base is a product when an acid dissociates. For carbonic acid, this means that CO3- ions have a probability of acting as a base by taking H+ from hydronium ions in solution.H3O+ + CO32- HCO3- + H2OThis is how an antacid works, for example.This effect is most important for buffer solutions, when a weak acid is mixed with a soluble salt that has the same anion.
