inorganic and organic compunds

Question 1

Inorganic compounds

Answer 1

water, salts, acids and bases do not contain carbon

Question 2

Water / properties

Answer 2

High heat capacity - prevents sudden changed in temperature
High heat of vaporization- useful cooling mechanism
polar solvent prop- body major transport medium
reacticty
cushioning

Question 3

salts

Answer 3

are ionic compounds that separate in water,
electrolytes= conduct electricity

Question 4

salts are electrolytes. What does this mean

Answer 4

salts can conduct electricity

Question 5

Acids and bases

Answer 5

Acids- proton donors (release H+ into environment) high H+ low pH
Bases- proton acceptors (take away proton) low H+ high pH

Question 6

PH scale

Answer 6

measurement of concentration of H+ in solution

Question 7

Neutralization

Answer 7

acids and bases mixed, equal numbers of H+ and OH- ions

Question 8

Buffers

Answer 8

resist abrupt and large swings in pH, convert strong acids or bases break into weak

Question 9

What ion is responsible to increased acidity?

Answer 9

H+ ion

Question 10

How does the structure of a water molecule make water a great solvent?

Answer 10

polar solvent prop important transport medium

Question 11

Organic compounds

Answer 11

carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and nucleic acids contain carbon are Cov bonded

Question 12

Carbon

Answer 12

is electroneutral that share electrons never gain or loses, forms 4 cov bonds with elements

Question 13

What is the result of hydrolysis reactions and how are these reactions accomplished?

Answer 13

monomer break apart into simple, adding water

Question 14

What are some organic macromolecules present within the human body?

Answer 14

Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids
