ph=pka+log[A-]/HA A-= HCO3- HA= H2CO3 7.4=6.1+ log A-/HA 1.3=logA-/HA 10^1.3=A-/HA= 19.95 therefore the ratio of concetration is HCO3- is 19.95 to 1 H2CO3 or there is more HCO3
Strongest Acid is HCl. Then in order of acidic strength H2CO3 , NH3(solution) and finally NaOH. In words, Hydrochloric Acid ; pH = 1 Carbomic Acid ; pH ~ 5 Ammonia solutioon ; pH ~ 8 or 9 Sodium Hydroxide ; pH ~ 12
CO2 dissolves in water and forms H2CO3, a weak acid. Therefore, the presence of CO2 will lower the pH slightly from its previous level.
The most important buffer system in blood is H2CO3/HCO3- (carbonic acid / bicarbonate) at pH = 7.35 and 37oC
Distilled water's pH is expected to be exactly 7; however small amounts of CO2 entering the water then form H2CO3. This can lower the pH to around 5.0 - 6.0.
Arterial Bloods pH is 7.38-7.42. pH is slightly higher because there is less carbonic acid (H2CO3).

we do add KCl to water for the measurement of pH to prevent CO2 from dissolution in water and forming of H2CO3

no. unless its very acidic and its raining on limestone. most rain is typically acidic though, at about pH 5 because of CO2 in the atm. H20+CO2 <=> H2CO3 <=> H+ + H2CO3-
This is a conjugate acid/base pair that works as a buffer to keep the blood within acceptable pH range H2CO3 <-> HCO3 -
Carbon dioxide dissolves slightly in water to form a weak acid called carbonic acid, H2CO3, according to the following reaction:CO2 + H2O --> H2CO3After that, carbonic acid reacts slightly and reversibly in water to form a hydronium cation, H3O+, and the bicarbonate ion, HCO3-, according to the following reaction:H2CO3 + H2O --> HCO3- + H3O+This chemical behaviour explains why water, which normally has a neutral pH of 7 has an acidic pH of approximately 5.5 when it has been exposed to air.Read more: http://www.lenntech.com/carbon-dioxide.htm#ixzz0U0j7XJP9
