What does the respiratory system eliminate when there is an excess of hydrogen ions in the body?

by breaking down carbonic acid into carbon dioxide and water.

The carbon dioxide is expelled from the body

Explanation:the body is able to maintain a constant internal environment through hoemostatis.one of such control is the acid-base balance in the body.

It does this by regulating the amount of hydrogen ions in the blood.A low pH indicates an acidic condition and a high pH indicates an alkaline condition.

The human blood has a pH of 7.35---7.45.it is slightly alkaline and needs to keep this range constant.

The lungs and kidneys involved in regulating the body pH.

When there is excess hydrogen ion in the blood, bicarbonate ions combine with the hydrogen ions to form carbonic acid . this carbonic acid breaks down into water and CO2 .the co2 is expelled from lungs through gaseous exchange.

When the accumulation of acid in the blood is high,the pH drops below 7.35 and this is called respiratory acidosis.

When there is excess alkaline in the blood,the pH goes beyond 7.45 and this is called respiratory alkalosis.

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
