Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A neutral solution has a pH of 7 and contains equal amounts of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-).

Answer: A
 A buffer is a solution that can resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added, and has an equal number of conjugate acid-base pairs.

Answer: C
 An acid solution has a pH below 7 and a higher concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) than hydroxide ions (OH-).

Answer: G
 An alkaline solution has a pH greater than 7 and a higher concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) than hydrogen ions (H+).

Answer: H
 The kidney system is responsible for regulating the acid-base balance in the body by controlling the excretion and reabsorption of bicarbonate (HCO3-) and hydrogen (H+) ions.
