In a renal physiology model, tubular fluid contains an acetate buffer: CH3COOH⇌H++CH3COO−\mathrm{CH_3COOH\rightleftharpoons H^+ + CH_3COO^-} with pKa=4.76pK_a=4.76. If the tubule secretes additional H+\mathrm{H^+} into the fluid, which statement best describes the immediate chemical response of the buffer pair?
