Exam 4: Lecture 49: Acid-base Flashcards
Are acids of bases H+ donors
acids
Are acids of bases H+ acceptors
bases
Do acids of bases give up an OH- group in a soultion
bases
Do strong or weak acids dissociate completly in a solution
strong acids
Do strong or weak acids dissociate only partially in a solution
weak
Is carbonic acid a strong or weak acid
weak
Is HCl and NaOH a strong or weak acid
strong
What is the range for physiological pH
7.35 to 7.45
What is the holy grail of acid-base
H+
What happens to the following when small changes in pH can produce major disturbances in physiology
- enzyme function
- membrane potential
- hormones
- most enzymes function within a very narrow pH range
- membrane potential may be altered and usually becomes less negative (depolarize)
- hormones become less effective
What controled pH and is tightly controlled
Homeostasis
What is the range for blood pH
7.35 to 7.45
What is the lowest and highest pH can get before death occurs due to everything shutting down and the body goes into a coma/death
less than 6.8
greater than 8.0
Below 7.35
acidosis or alkalosis
acidosis
- acidemia
Above 7.45
acidosis or alkalosis
alkalosis
- alkalemia
