The correct answer is:
Le-Chatelier's principle
Le-Chatelier's principle drives the following reaction forward as blood passes through the alveoli
\(\mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{HCO}_3 \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3 \longrightarrow \mathrm{CO}_2+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
The carbon dioxide produced here continually diffuses into the alveoli and is exhaled, ensuring favorable kinetics for the reaction to proceed. Thus, correct answer is option (a).
\(\mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{HCO}_3 \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3 \longrightarrow \mathrm{CO}_2+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
The carbon dioxide produced here continually diffuses into the alveoli and is exhaled, ensuring favorable kinetics for the reaction to proceed. Thus, correct answer is option (a).
