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.
Role of the kidneys. The kidneys are able to affect blood pH by excreting excess acids or bases. The kidneys have some ability to alter the amount of acid or base that is excreted, but because the kidneys make these adjustments more slowly than the lungs do, this compensation generally takes several days.he body's balance between acidity and alkalinity is referred to as acid-base balance. The acidity or alkalinity of any solution, including blood, is indicated on the pH scale. The blood's acid-base balance is precisely controlled because even a minor deviation from the normal range can severely affect many organs.
