Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Statement \(I\) is false but Statement \(II\) is true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Buffer solution is a mixture of either weak acid / weak base and its respective conjugate. Blood is a buffer solution of carbonic acid \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3\) and bicarbonate \(\mathrm{HCO}_3^{-}\) Statement \(1\) is false but Statement \(II\) is true.
