Answer:
Storage solution; deionized water; stabilizes.
Explanation:
The pH scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in acidic and alkaline solutions.
In chemistry, it literally means power of hydrogen ions and it is a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in a particular solution, thus specifying the acidity, neutrality or basicity of chemical solutions.
Mathematically, the pH of a solution is given by;
Hence, a solution with a pH of 7 is neutral. Also, a solution with a pH below 7 is acidic but basic (alkaline) if it's pH is above 7.
A pH meter can be defined as a scientific instrument or device designed and developed for the measurement of the hydrogen-ion concentration in water-based solutions, in order to determine their level of acidity or alkanility.
When using a pH meter to take a measurement, you should keep it in a storage solution until it is needed. Also, a deionized water should be used to rinse the pH meter and gently pat dry.
Furthermore, the pH meter should be placed in a given sample solution and a reading of the measurement taken when the pH of the solution stabilizes.

Answer: Option A: HCO3-(aq.)
Reason:
From the reaction, it can be seen that following reaction occurs in forward direct
HCO3-(aq) + H2O(l) → H2CO3(aq) + OH-(aq)
In above forward reaction, HCO3- accepts proton from H2O to generate H2CO3. Thus, according to Lowry and Bronsted theory of acid-base, HCO3- is a base, while H2CO3 is a conjugate acid.
