Topic 6 Flashcards
Changes in the dissociation reaction can affect
pH of solution
Temperature affects
dissociation of molecules in solution
decreased temperature produces
- decrease in energy which produces
- decrease in dissociation which produces
- decrease in concentration of all IONIZED components
- Equilibrium of dissociation moves to the LEFT
At equilibrium, the pH produced is called the
pH of neutrality
At 27C, the pH of neutrality is 7.0
Henry’s law formula
Dissolved = Solubility x Partial Pressure
Solubility
CO2 @ 37 degrees C =
0.06 mls CO2/100 mls bld/mmHg
Solubility
O2 @ 37 degrees C =
0.003 mls O2/100 mls bld/mmHg
How is CO2 moved from tissue to lungs
Dissolved
Bound to hemoglobin
As HCO3-
Haldane Effect
Represents affect of PO2 on ability of CO2 to bind to hemoglobin
Content ≈
Solubility x PP
PP ≈
Content / Solubility
Solubility is inversely proportional to
temperature
Temperature increases, then Solubility
decreases
Temperature decreases, then Solubility
increases
change the pH of blood in a “closed” system via option A=
Change CO2 content and keep temp constant
change the pH of blood in a “closed” system via option B=
Change temp and keep total CO2 content constant
