11/7 Flashcards
If Pelphrey gives us Ka in an equation you know the drug is an
acidic drug
If Pelphrey gives us a Kb in an equation you know the drug is a
basic drug
With a base, initially solve for ___ then subtract that from ___
pOH, 14
Each buffer has a limit to the amount of acid/base that can be added before the buffer loses its ability to resist change. This is called the ______
buffer capacity
Buffers are solutions that contain a….
weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.
What are the three main buffer systems?
bicarbonate (blood buffering system), phosphate, and protein buffer systems
Blood pH is controlled through pH regulation which is a function of the buffer systems of the body in combination with the _____ and ____ systems.
respiratory, renal
When CO2 is dissolved in water it creates
carbonic acid
The renal system removes ____ via the kidneys
hydrogen ions
LeChatelier’s principle
when a system at equilibrium is disturbed, the system will adjust to reestablish that equilibrium
Adjustment is typically in the opposite direction of what we did
If you add a reactant equilibrium will shift towards..
the products
How do we determine to overall pH?
Henderson-Hasselbach equation
How does the Henderson-Hasselbach equation work?
Allows us to take the pKA of our weak acid/base as well as relative amounts of conjugate pairs to determine pH
Bases can be neutral or negative but will never be
+
Acids can be plus or neutral but will never be
negative
