Question
Carbon dioxide and water react to form bicarbonate ion and
hydronium ion. Hyperventilation (rapid breathing) causes more
carbon dioxide to be exhaled than normal. How will
hyperventilation affect the pH of blood? Explain.
In this explanation make
sure to include either Le
Chatelier's Principle or
equilibrium in the answer at
the atomic level. If this is not
included, a severe deduction
will happen.
