When $CO_2$ dissolves in water,the following equilibrium is established:
$CO_2 + 2H_2O \rightleftharpoons H_3O^{+} + HCO_3^-$
For which the equilibrium constant is $3.8 \times 10^{-7}$ and $pH = 6.0$. The ratio of $[HCO_3^-]$ to $[CO_2]$ would be:

  • A
    $3.8 \times 10^{-13}$
  • B
    $3.8 \times 10^{-1}$
  • C
    $6.0$
  • D
    $13.4$
