What of the following options describes the term "pH and pOH"? O a. The negative logarithm (base 10) of the hydrogen ion or hydroxide ion concentration. O b. The equilibrium constant for a basic species reacting with water or undergoing dissociation to form hydroxide anions. O c. A mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate weak base in solution which resists change in pH by reacting with any added acid or base. O d. A pair of species which differ by a single proton, such that to form one species from the other a proton needs to be added or removed. O e. A species which does not completely react with water such that at equilibrium, there is a significant amount of it remaining unreacted.
