Question
a. slows down chemical reactions.
b. speeds up chemical reactions.
c. increases the pH of a solution.
d. maintains a relatively constant pH.
e. works by forming salts.
24. A conjugate acid-base pair
a. acts as a buffer.
b. can combine with H* in a solution.
Remember
c. can release H to combine with OH.
d. describes carbonic acid (H₂CO3) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3).
e. All of these are correct.
25. Solution A is a strong acid of pH 2, and solution B is an equally
strong base of pH 8. Each chemical can donate or receive a single
proton. If equal amounts of solutions A and B are mixed, is the result-
ing solution acidic or basic?
Understand
26. Carbon dioxide that accumulates in the blood can become toxic, in part
because it alters the blood pH. Some of the carbon dioxide molecules
react with water to form carbonic acid (CO2 + H₂O → H₂CO3). Ned can
swim across the swimming pool under water. Before diving into the water,
he breathes rapidly for a few seconds, and while he is under the water, he
does not breathe at all. Explain how the pH of his blood changes while
breathing rapidly and while swimming under water. Also explain why the
pH of his blood does not change dramatically.
