Which of the following pairs of substances form a buffer system for human blood?

A.
HCl and Cl-
B.
NH3 and NH2-
C.
H3C6H5O7 and HC6H5O72-
D.
H2CO3 and HCO3-

Respuesta :

Answer:

d. Because those chemicals are easily made when CO2 reacts with water, forming H2CO3 (via carbonic anhydrase

The pairs of substances form a buffer system for human blood is carbonic acid (H₂CO₃) and bicarbonate anion (HCO₃⁻)  , Option D

What is a Buffer Solution ?

A buffer is a  combination of a weak acid (or base) and a salt that contains the conjugate of that weak acid or base.

A buffer solution is added to maintain the pH of any solution

The buffer  of carbonic acid (H₂CO₃) and bicarbonate anion (HCO₃⁻)  is used to maintain the balance of acid and base in the body.

It is used to maintain the pH level of the body between 7.35 and 7.45 , as the pH level higher than 7.8 and lower than 6.8 can lead to death.

Therefore the pairs of substances form a buffer system for human blood is carbonic acid (H₂CO₃) and bicarbonate anion (HCO₃⁻)  , Option D
