Q

describe polar in relations to H–F

A

unequal sharing of electrons because F is more electronegative than H, therefore the electrons in HF are going to spend more time around F rather than H, leaving F with a partial negative charge and H with a partial positive charge

Q

is water more attached to one another or the molecules in the air? provide an example (leaf)

25
exergonic reaction vs endergonic
exergonic- release more energy than absorbed | endergonic- absorb more energy than they release
26
describe relationship between exergonic and endergonic reactions
energy released from exergonic reactions is often used to drive an endergonic one,
27
a molecule of glucose broken down can produce
32 molecules of atp
28
collision energy needed to break the chemical bond of reactants is called
activation energy
29
factors that speed up reactions include (2)
conc.- the more particles of matter present in a confined space, the greater the chance that they will collide temp- as temp rises, particles of matter move about more rapidly thus the more forcefully particles will collide think of KMT
30
catalysts purpose is
to speedd up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy
31
a catalyst ____ alter the difference in potential energy between reactnts and products
does not
32
at the end of a reaction the catalyst remains___-
unchanged
33
not only do particles must collide they must____ a catalyst helps by
not only do particles must collide they must hit one another at precise spots, a catalyst helps to properly orient the colliding particles
34
___ reactions are usually endergonic bc/ | ____ are usually exergonic bc/
anabolic reactions are usually endergonic bc they absorb more energy than they release catabolic reactions are exergonic bc they release more energy than they absorb
35
anabolic vs catabolic
catabolic reactions break down larger molecules | anabolic reactions synthesis larger molecules from smaller parts
36
oxidation refers to the ____
loss of electrons
37
oxidation substances ____ energy
release
38
reduction refers to
the gain of electrons
39
reduction substances often ____ energy
gain
40
give an ex of oxidation-reduction reactions
when a food molecule such as glucose is oxidized, the energy produced is used by aa cell to carry out its various function
41
inorganic compounds vs organic
inorganic compounds lack carbon whereas organic compounds always have carbon
42
water is known as the
universal solvent
43
explain how water aids in chemical reaction
hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis (water removed added..etc)
44
why does water have a high heat capacity
as water absorbs heat energy, most of the energy will be used to break its hydrogen bonds, with little energy left over to increase the motion of water molecules hence temp
45
water acts as a _____ fluid
lubricating
46
describe mixture and the 3 types of it
mixture- combo of elements or compound that are physically blended together but not bound by chemical bonds solutions- solutes remain evenly dispersed colloid- usuallu appear translucent or opaque, intermediate in size between solution and suspensions suspension- the suspended molecules may mix with the liquid but after some time it eventually setlles down to the bottom
47
concentraion of solution can be expressed in 2 ways
percentage - mass per volume | molarity- moles per litre
48
an acid is a ___ while base is ___
an acid is a proton doner while base is proton acceptor
49
describe a salt when dissociated in water and provide example
dissociates into cation and anion which is neither of H+ or OH- example KCL = K+ and CL-
50
acid and bases react with each other to form
salts
51
alkaline vs acidic
alkaline= more hydroxide ions | acidic- more hydrogen ions
52
a PH of 6 denotes ___ more __ than a PH of 7
a ph of 6 denotes 10 times more H+ than a ph of 7
53
a ph of 8 denotes ____ 10 times ___ H+ than a ph of 6
a ph of 8 denotes 100 times fewer H+ than a ph of 6
54
the ph of blood is between
7.35-7.45
55
buffer systems function to convert ____ because
convert strong acid and base into weak acid and bases because strong acid and bases ionize too quickly and can contribute many H+ or OH- to the solution causing ph to change drastically
56
common buffer system in our body is + chemical name
acid-bicarbonate buffer system (H2CO3)
57
the reaction that joins 2 monomers is called
dehydration synthesis
58
dehydration synthesis of 3 monomers will produuce __ water
3 waters
59
which macromolecules form polymer and which dont
carbs, nucleic acid, and proteins form polymers while lipids dont
60
cells link monomers together into polymers by ___-
dehhydration synthesis
61
cells break polymer down to monomers by ___
hydrolysis
62
radiocative isotopes pro and cons
cons- dangerous to life because it creates mutation in dna | pros- can be useful in biological research as tracers
63
the farther an electron is from the nucleus the ___ it has
more energy
64
____ bonds dissolve easily in water
ionic bonds
65
compunds formed by _____ are not considered to be molecules
ionic bonds
66
water is an organic or inorganic structure
inorganic
67
atoms in which the outermost electron shell is not completely filled tend to be
