Question

Question 48 When a person hyperventilates, they breathe very quickly, exhaling CO$_2$ more quickly than it can be produced. This reduces the concentration of CO$_2$ in the blood. According to the chemical equation below and LeChatelier's principle, how is the bicarbonate equilibrium affected by the reduction of CO$_2$ in the blood? CO$_2$ + H$_2$O $\rightleftharpoons$ H$_2$CO$_3$ $\rightleftharpoons$ HCO$_3^-$ + H$_3$O$^+$ a. The equilibrium is unchanged. b. More H$_3$O$^+$ is produced. c. The equilibrium is shifted to the right. d. The H$_3$O$^+$ concentration decreases. e. More HCO$_3^-$ is produced.

          Question 48
When a person hyperventilates, they breathe very
quickly, exhaling CO$_2$ more quickly than it can be
produced. This reduces the concentration of CO$_2$
in the blood. According to the chemical equation
below and LeChatelier's principle, how is the
bicarbonate equilibrium affected by the reduction
of CO$_2$ in the blood?
CO$_2$ + H$_2$O $\rightleftharpoons$ H$_2$CO$_3$ $\rightleftharpoons$ HCO$_3^-$ + H$_3$O$^+$
a. The equilibrium is unchanged.
b. More H$_3$O$^+$ is produced.
c. The equilibrium is shifted to the right.
d. The H$_3$O$^+$ concentration decreases.
e. More HCO$_3^-$ is produced.

question 48 when a person hyperventilates they breathe very quickly exhaling co2 more quickly than it can be produced this reduces the concentration of co2 in the blood according to the ch 15147
