Question

A buffer A buffer donates H ions when conditions become too basic and accepts H ions when conditions become too acidic. is a base that is used to offset overly acidic conditions in the body. is an acid that is used to offset overly basic conditions in the body. donates OH- ions when conditions become too basic and accepts OH- ions when conditions become too acidic.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A, Donates H+ ions when conditions become too basic and accepts H+ ions when conditions become too acidic

Explanation:

Buffer solutions have the ability to maintain stability of pH of the solution. They resist any changes in the pH of the solution on addition of an acid or a base component or solution.  

Every buffer solution has a buffer capacity and range. Buffer capacity depicts the amount of acid or base solution is required to change the pH of the solution by 1 .

Hence, option E is correct
