Question
Statements I:- Buffer is a compound that destabilises the pH of solution by removing or releasing hydrogen ions.
Statement II:- Human blood has a buffer solution. Its pH is maintained by HCO3-, H+ ions and CO2 concentration.
Choose the correct option.
Statement I is correct but II is incorrect
Statement II is correct but I is incorrect
Both statement are correct
Both statement are incorrect
Solution
B.
Statement II is correct but I is incorrect
Statement II is correct and statement I is incorrect. It can be corrected as the production and removal of CO2+ and H+ together with the use and transport of O2 that cause chemical changes in the blood.
Buffers in the blood protect against large changes in blood pH.
