Detailed Solution
Acidic buffer solution is prepared by mixing a weak acid and its salt with a strong base.Thus, a mixture of H2CO3 and HCO3- acts as an acidic buffer solution.The expression for the pH of the acidic buffer solution is as given below:pH=pKa+log [salt][Acid] In the presence of NaHCO3, the concentration of salt increases. Hence, the term log[salt]/[Acid] increases. This increases the pH of blood.
