32.(9 Points) Blood plasma is an important biological buffer system that maintains pH. In blood plasma, the carbonic acid (H2CO3) and hydrogen carbonate ion (HCO3) equilibrium shifts to buffer changes in pH. The Ka for carbonic acid is 7.9 x 10-7 A. (3 Points). Write the balanced chemical reaction that shows the dissociation of the weak acid in blood plasma in water.
