Solution B is slightly alkaline, with a pH above 7. Two beakers are filled with of each solution (one for each solution). A phosphate buffer was added to it and CO2 was blown into it until there was a change of color meaning a change in pH. (this experiment is to see how the CO2 from the lungs can cause a pH change in water) Why does it take so long for the solutions to change color? Relate your answer to the equation (H2O + CO2 ⇌ H2CO3 ⇌ HCO3- + H+ ) and to the presence of the buffer.arrow_forward
