If the volume of blood in an adult is 50l what is the mass


The buffer containing human blood is carbonic acid and bicarbonate ion. In blood plasma are 0.024M of bicarbonate ion and 0.0012M carbonic acid (pKa of a body temperature of the carbonic acid is 6.1)

a. If the volume of blood in an adult is 5.0L, what is the mass of HCI that the buffer can neutralize before the pH falls below 7.0?

b. Given the volume of part A, what is the mass of NaOH that the buffer can neutralize before the pH increase above of 7.8?
