Carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced in cells as a function of cellular metabolism, so it can be found there. The CO2 is dumped into the blood stream and can be found there also. Carbon dioxide then crosses the blood/air barrier in the lungs and can be found there. The CO2 is then exhaled in normal respiration.

No, since pH of blood is 7.4 and of the diprotic acid H2CO3 pKa1 = 6.3 and pKa2 is 10,25 one can calculate the ratio H2CO3/HCO3- is less than 1/10 so 90% is hydrogen carbonate HCO3-.

[That is to be very happy about, because CO2 is quite badly soluble, and you wouldn't like to have 'fizz' bubbles in your veins.]
