Explain the bicarbonate buffer system given in the scheme

Reference no: EM13702935

Problem- Severe diarrhea is accompanied by a loss of HCO3-. If untreated, will the condition result in acidosis or alkalosis? Use the bicarbonate buffer system given in the scheme below and Le Chatelier's Principle to explain your answer.

H+ + HCO3- ? H2CO3 ? CO2 + H2O

It is not a question in the book, so I just need the full solution of deriving!
