Chapter 25, Problem 25.51E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect of increase in the amount of $\text{H+}$ ions in the urine more than urine’s buffering capacity is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The increase in the $\text{H+}$ ion concentration in urine implies increase in the acidity of the urine. When $\text{H+}$ ion concentration exceeds urine’s buffering capacity, the $\text{pH}$ of the urine drops rapidly and very acidic urine is produced.
