Chapter Two - Water Flashcards
how does water interact with each other?
-van der Waals interactions
the strength of dispersion forces increase with _____
molecule size
hyrdophilic
water loving
hydrophobic
water fearing
_____ is responsible for hydrophobicity
entropy
amphiphiles form _____ and ______ in water
micelles, bilayers
water moves by ____
osmosis
when will water reach equilibrium?
-if column of fluid above it exerts same pressure equal to osmotic pressure
solutes move by _____
diffusion
what ions are present in water?
H+ and OH-
in neutral water….
[H+]=[OH-] = 10^-7M
acidic solutions:
[H+]>10^-7
basic solutions:
[OH-]>-7
pH =
pOH =
- log[H+]
- log[OH-]
pH + pOH =
14
any compound with pKa < 14 is _____ and will ____ in water which will thereby ____ the pH
- acidic
- deprotonate
- lower
pH =
pKa + log [A-]/[HA]
what is a buffer designed to do?
-resist pH changes
How does buffer work?
-maintaining large reserve of both HA and A-
What happens when H+ is added to the buffer?
-protonates some of the A- turning them into HA
what happens when H+ is added to buffer if both [HA] and [A-] are large?
- net changes relatively small
- pH approximately unchanged
