Question

Which property of CO 2 makes it biologically and geo-chemically important? (A) Its low solubility in water (B) Its high compressibility (C) Its acidic nature (D) Its colourless and odourless nature

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Its low solubility in water makes it of biological and geo-chemical importance. It form carbonic acid with water which dissociates to give HCO 3- ions. H 2 CO 3 / HCO 3-buffer system helps to maintain pH of blood between 7.26-7.42

Q. Which property of $C O_{2}$ makes it biologically and geo-chemically important?

Its low solubility in water

Its high compressibility

Its acidic nature

Its colourless and odourless nature

Its low solubility in water makes it of biological and geo-chemical importance. It form carbonic acid with water which dissociates to give $H C O_{3}^{-}$ ions. $H_{2} C O_{3} / H C O_{3}^{-}$ buffer system helps to maintain $p H$ of blood between $7.26 - 7.42$
