The following reactions are known to occur in the body,

\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{O}_2} + {\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{O}\leftrightharpoons{\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{O}_3}\leftrightharpoons{\mathrm{H}^ + } + \mathrm{HCO}_3^ -

\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{O}_2}

escapes from the system, then:

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Hydrogen ion concentration will diminish

Option B (Hydrogen ion concentration will diminish) is correct because if CO2 escapes, the equilibrium shifts to the left, reducing H2CO3 and consequently H+ concentration.
