Chem final Flashcards
Farenheit to Celcius
C= (F-32) x 5/9
Celcius to Farenheit
F= (C x 9/5) + 32
Force equation
force= mass x acceleration
Avogadro’s number
1 mole= 6.022 x 10^23
What is an atom?
it is the smallest unit of an element that still maintains the characteristics of the element (electron, proton, neutrons)
What is a molecule?
2 or more atoms that are chemically joined together; smallest unit that retains the physical and chemical properties of the substance (H2O, N2, O2)
What is an element?
a substance that cannot be separated into a smaller substance by chemical means; pure! examples include oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon
What is a compound?
contains atoms of different compounds chemically bound together in a fixed ratio; a molecule that contains at least two different elements
What is a physical change?
a simple change of state of matter (solid to liquid to gas)
What is a chemical change?
a change in the composition of matter, atoms, or molecules of 2 or more substances rearrange to form 2 or more new substances having different properties
Understand the relationship between gravity, mass, and weight.
Mass: a given quantity of matter in an object
Weight: the force acting on matter determines the weight
in space, we would have the same mass but we would be weightless because there is no gravity acting on matter in space
What is the difference between adhesive and cohesive forces?
adhesive: like to unlike molecules; water will climb up the sides of glass
Cohesive: like to like molecules; molecules exhibit a force of mutual attraction; water will attract towards itself and away from the glass in a beaker
What is the octect rule?
there will always try to be 8 molecules that exist in the outer shell
Describe covalent and ionic bonding.
covalent bonding is the sharing of electrons; it is the strongest bond type
ionic is the donation or acceptance of electrons to another molecule or compound
How much volume does 1 mole of gas occupy at STP?
22.4 L
The chemical properties of water that make it a good solvent for polar compounds
less dense in it’s solid state (when frozen), dipole, universal solvent, high BP/MP, latent heat and heat of vaporization, water dissociates into H+ and OH- which contributes to acid base balance
Electrons spend more time orbiting 0 than H. Dipoles exist when atoms of different electronegativities are bonded together. The solute in water with a charge will be attracted to the dipole of the water molecule. If something is not charged, it will not be attracted to the water and will not easily be “surrounded” by the water. Since oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen, the side of the molecule with the oxygen atom has a partial negative charge. A molecule with such a charge difference is called a dipole
Know how the subatomic particles contribute to mass
protons and neutrons (approx 1 amu) are really the only subatomic particles that contribute to mass since electrons have an insignificant mass
What is an isotope?
an isotope is an element that has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
What is nuclear radiation?
Ionizing radiation happens when an unstable atom (a radioactive isotope of an element) emits particles or waves of particles to become more stable. This process is called radioactive decay.
How does pK relate to onset time of an anesthetic?
the more unionized a drug is, the quicker the onset
is is the primary determinant of onset time
How does the unionized form of an anesthetic contribute to creating a conduction block?
it is the unprotonated, uncharged, base (B)- diffuses more easily through the nerve sheath, is required for diffusion into neuron; reflected clinically as onset of anesthesia
How does the ionized form of an anesthetic contribute to creating a conduction block?
binds to receptor site on the inside of cell membrane, responsible for suppression of the action potential; reflected clinically by the profoundness of the block
What are the determinants of blood pH?
strong ion difference, weak acids, pCO2, and dissociation of water
Hydrogen bonding
a special dipole-dipole where H binds to N, O, or F of another molecule
LDF bonding or Van der Waals
momentary attractions, not even official bonding; the longer the chain, the more likely LDFs will form
Dipole-dipole
when charged end of one molecule is attracted to the negative end of another molecule
What is an acid?
an acid (pitcher) is an electron donor
What is a base?
a base (catcher) is an electron acceptor
What is the difference between weak acids and strong acids?
with weak acids the equation can be reversed (goes in both directions)
With strong acids the equation can only go one way; it completely dissociates
Examples of weak acids include:
Hprotein, carbonic acid, phosphoric acid
Comment on the ionization and other properties of a protonated acid.
protonated, unionized, liphophillic, crosses membrane, active, hydrophobic
Comment on the ionization and other properties of a protonated base.
protonated, ionized, hydrophillic, will not cross membranes, inactive, liphophobic
The onset of an anesthetic is determined by
the pK, the more unionized a drug is, the faster the onset time
How are the ionized and unionized form of a local anesthetic involved in the process of producing a conduction block?
unionized- onset time
ionized- reflected by the profoundness of the block
What is the CO2 hydration reaction?
CO2+ H2o H2CO3 HCO3- + H+
The determinants of blood pH are:
strong ion difference, weak acids, pCO2, and dissociation of water
Weak acid buffers include:
hemoglobin, proteins, and phosphate
Strong acids include
lactate, keto acids, and sulfate
