Question

1. Write out the chemical reaction that occurs in the blood buffer, H2CO3/NaHCO3, when: a. NaOH is added b. HCl is added 2. Is the carbonic acid and bicarbonate solution a better buffer when acid (HCl) is added or when base (NaOH) is added? Why? 3. Did the water or the H2CO3/NaHCO3 solution act as a buffer when acid was added dropwise? 4. Compare the number of drops of acid that was required to reach the buffer capacity of the water and the buffer solution.
