During the treatment for COVID-19, one complication includes an increase of CO2 in the lungs. This buildup of CO2 can result in a serious condition called respiratory acidosis if the level of H+ significantly changes. If the pH drops by 1 unit, what has happened to the H+ concentration?
Bicarbonate/carbonic acid buffer in blood is an example of an equilibrium reaction that is meant to be very insensitive to change. How does the bicarbonate/carbonic acid buffer re-establish equilibrium if acidity increases? How does the bicarbonate/carbonic acid buffer re-establish equilibrium if alkalinity increases?
