In a non-biological system, given the equation CO2 + H2O ⇌ H2CO3 ⇌ HCO3- + H+ , what would happen to the amount of CO2 if HCO3- was taken away or removed in some way? (Hint: In chemistry, the concept is known as Le Chatlier's Principle)    The amount of CO2 will increase to compensate for the lost HCO3- The amount of CO2 will decrease to compensate for the lost HCO3-  The amount of CO2 will stay the same
