Which three statements accurately describe the blood buffering system in humans?
- The blood buffering system utilizes the H2CO3/HCO3– conjugate acid/base pair.
- The blood buffering system utilizes the acetic acid/acetate conjugate acid/base pair.
- The blood buffering system is facilitated by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which interconverts carbon dioxide and water to carbonic acid, ionizing into bicarbonate and H+ .
- The blood buffering system maintains the pH of blood near 7.4.
- The blood buffering system depends on the ionization of H2PO4– .
What happens when NaOH is added to a buffer composed of CH3COOH and CH3COO- ?
A.
The NaOH reacts with C2H3O2– converting some of it into HC2H3O2
B.
The NaOH reacts with C2H3O2– converting some of it into HC2H3O2
C.
The NaOH reacts with HC2H3O2 converting some of it into C2H3O2–.
D.
) The NaOH is neutralized and all concentrations (HC2H3O2 and C2H3O2–) remain unchanged
