Question

What are the
consequences of shifting the
chemical equilibrium of the
formation of bicarbonate from
carbon dioxide and water
towards the consumption of
products of the reverse
reaction?

Expert Solution
Step 1

As per the principle of chemical equilibrium to the formation of bicarbonate from carbon dioxide and water one gets the following,

If the carbon dioxide concentration is increased the equilibrium shifts towards the formation of bicarbonate and liberation of hydrogen ions and the pH of the solution are lowered.
