Blood plasma contains a total carbonate pool (essentially HCO3 and CO₂(d)) of 2.5 x 10-2 M. What would be the pH if 12 mM H* is added under conditions where the increased [CO₂(d)] can be released (i.e., an open system)? Assume the normal pH (i.e., before addition of H*) is 7.40. Recall that the pKnet for the net reaction in which water plus dissolved carbon dioxide form hydrogen ions plus bicarbonate ions is 6.1. Enter your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Blood plasma contains a total carbonate pool (essentially HCO3 and CO₂(d)) of 2.5
x 10-2 M. What would be the pH if 12 mM H+ is added under conditions where the
increased [CO₂(d)] can be released (i.e., an open system)? Assume the normal pH
(i.e., before addition of H*) is 7.40. Recall that the pKnet for the net reaction in which
water plus dissolved carbon dioxide form hydrogen ions plus bicarbonate ions is 6.1.
