In your body, carbon dioxide, CO2, dissolves in the blood to form carbonic acid, H2CO3 as follows:

CO2(g) + H2O(l) ⇆ H2CO3(aq)

After heavy exercise, your body builds up carbonic acid, which can become toxic in high enough concentrations. This can lead to panting like a runner after a race which helps you to more quickly breathe out carbon dioxide and reduce its concentration.

1) What is the effect on the reaction balance of panting?
2)What will be the effect on the concentration of carbonic acid – explain your reasoning
3)If you hike to the top, would the low pressure at high altitude help reduce or increase the carbonic acid concentration? – Explain your answer.
4)Some carbon dioxide dissolves in your blood directly as CO2(aq). What is the effect of the lower pressure at a mountain top on the ability to directly dissolve CO2(g)?
