Solution

The correct option is B
inter conversions of hydrated $C O_{2}$ to various species are slower

pH < 8, CO₂ reacts as follows
$C O_{2} + H_{2} O ⇌ H_{2} C O_{3} (s l o w) H_{2} C O_{3} + O H^{-} \to H C O_{3}^{-} + H_{2} O (f a s t) A t p H > 8, C O_{2} r e a c t s a s f o l l o w s C O_{2} + O H^{-} \to H C O_{3}^{-} (s l o w) H C O_{3}^{-} + O H^{-} \to C O_{3}^{-} + H_{2} O (f a s t)$
$\times C O_{3}^{-} \leftrightarrow C O_{3}^{2 -}$
