The renal tubule would be the vessel within the nephron loops that functions to collect ions and water back into the blood. In addition, these vessels are the one responsible for emptying the collecting duct and reabsorbs salts present in the bloodstream and disperses it back to the blood.
The correct answer is A. When free hydrogen ions and free hydroxyl ions are removed from solutions of acids and bases, the acidic and basic properties disappear.
The strength of the acid or base depends upon its degree of ionization. Since different acids and different bases dissociate or ionize to different extent in water so their degree of ionization is also different. Strong acids and strong bases ionize in water completely while the weaker acids or bases ionize partially. Ionization of the weak acids in water are in equilibrium. The degree of ionization is the ratio of the number of ionized molecules to the number of molecules which are dissolved in water. In case of acids the ionized molecules are hydrogen ions and in case of bases hydroxyl ions.
