In the equationthe proper acidity of the blood is maintained.
What effect does rapid exhalation of CO2during exercise have on the concentration of H2CO3in the blood?
The concentration of H2CO3remains the same.
The concentration of H2CO3increases.
The concentration of H2CO3decreases.
The concentration of H2CO3 decreases.
During rapid exhalation of CO2, the body is getting rid of excess carbon dioxide, which means less CO2 is available to combine with water and form carbonic acid (H2CO3). This leads to a decrease in the concentration of H2CO3 in the blood.
