Five pairs of syllables, each pair being an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. In iambic pentameter there are ten syllables per line. The first syllable of the line is unstressed, followed by the second syllable which is stressed, and so on until you reach the tenth syllable.
If the body's pH balance is too low (acidic), the lungs and the kidneys constantly remove carbon dioxide, which helps to neutralize hydrogen ions. Conversely, if it is too high (alkaline), the kidneys excrete bicarbonate iron that elevates the hydrogen ion concentration, creating a more acidic environment.n chemistry, pH is the acronym for Potential Hydrogen and it is the measurement of acidity. An acid is any chemical that releases hydrogen ions in solution. The Potential Hydrogen scale was invented in 1909 to measure the acidity of beer.
Acidosis occurs when your kidneys and lungs canât keep your bodyâs pH in balance. Many of the bodyâs processes produce acid. For instance, your lungs and kidneys can usually compensate for slight pH imbalances, but problems with these organs can lead to excess acid in your body. The acidity of your blood is measured by determining its pH. A lower pH means that your blood is more acidic, while a higher pH means that your blood is more basic. The pH of your blood should be around 7.4. According to the American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC), acidosis is characterized by a pH of 7.35 or lower.
