1. Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to determine the ratioof base/acid in a formic acid-formate buffer with a pH of 3.00
2. Assume that the human blood buffer includes, at any onepoint, 0.00080 M carbonic acid and 0.0080 M hydrogen carbonate.What is the pH of 7.00 liter of blood under these conditions?
3. Metabolic acidosis results in the addition of excess acid toblood. How many moles of strong acid must be added to the blood inquestion 2 to bring the hydrogen carbonate/ carbonic acid ratio tothe hazardous level of 5:1 and what would the pH be?
