Blood is maintained at a pH of 7.4 by the primary buffers in the plasma and secondary buffers in the erythrocytes. The plasma contains carbonic acid/bicarbonate as one of its primary buffers. The pK for this buffer system is 6.3. H2CO3 → H+ + HCO3-Required:What is the ratio of bicarbonate to carbonic acid in normal blood plasma?
