One of the buffers that contributes to pH stability in human blood is carbonic acid (H₂CO₃).Carbonic acid is a weak acid that,when placed in an aqueous solution,dissociates into a bicarbonate ion (HCO₃⁻)and a hydrogen ion (H⁺).Thus,H₂CO₃ ↔ HCO₃⁻ + H⁺
If the pH of the blood increases,one would expect

A)a decrease in the concentration of H₂CO₃ and an increase in the concentration of HCO₃⁻.
B)an increase in the concentration of H₂CO₃ and a decrease in the concentration of HCO₃⁻.
C)a decrease in the concentration of HCO₃⁻ and an increase in the concentration of H⁺.
D)an increase in the concentration of HCO₃⁻ and a decrease in the concentration of OH⁻.
E)a decrease in the concentration of HCO₃⁻ and an increase in the concentration of both H₂CO₃ and H⁺.
