1.	If CO_(2) is allowed to escape from the following reaction at equilibrium CO_(2)+H_(2)O+H_(2)CO_(3)hArr 2H^(+) + 2HCO_(3)^(-)
Answer» pH will DECREASE pH will REMAIN constant pH will increase forward reaction will be favoured Solution :EQUILIBRIUM will sift in the backward direction. Hence, `H^(+)` ion CONCENTRATION will decrease or pH will increase.
