Wk 4- Acids, Bases And Ph Flashcards
Water biological systems:
2/? body weight
Most biological reactions take place in water
Water is vital to life
Special properties due to b? structure
2/3
Bonding
Waters special properties:
Water molecules= ? Each molecule has ? and ? regions H2O H= partial ? charge 0= partial ? charge ? and ? ends are attracted to each other
Polar Positive negative Positive Negative Positive and negative
Properties of water:
Increased solubility = ? molecules Water = s? for ionic /polar substances Creates solution ~ Water = solvent Substance = s? Dissociation of ions = dissolved molecules
Dissolved
Solvent
Solute
Properties of water:
Reactivity - chemical reactions occur in water / ? bonds
Increase heat capacity = small increase in temperature
Lubrication = important component in m? Synovial ? and articulations
Chemical
Mucus , synovial fluid
Molarity = atomic ? of atoms
Measurement of substance concentration in solvent (water)
Moles/litre = ?/l or M
Milli mole= ?/l or mM
Total measurement of number molecules in a solution
Mass grams = atoms mass
Mass
Mol/l
Mmol/l
Molarity calculations:
Use the atomic mass to calculate molarity
Glucose = C6 H12 O6 C= 12 (12x6=72) H= 1 (1x12=12) O=16(16x6 =96) = 180 1m solution glucose = ?g/l 1mm =18 mg/l
180
Acids = hy? + ? on ph scale Dissociate into ? ion and anions (-) Proton d? hydrochloric acid dissociates into ~ Hy? and ?
Hydrogen Low Hydrogen Donor Hydrogen , chloride
Bases: hy? (-)
? on the ph scale
Dissociate into hy? ions (OH-) + cations (+)
Hydroxide ions bind Hydrogen ions produce ? molecules
Sodium hydroxide dissociates into N?+ and OH?
Hydroxide High Hydroxide Water Na+ OH-
Salts:
Salts dissociate into ions
They do not contain hy?+ or hy? -
Salts contain electrolytes
Hydrogen
Hydroxide
The ph scale : based on the concentration of h? ions in a solution
0 - 7 - 14 ? ? 0 scale = hy? ions + 14 scale = hy? ions - There is a ? fold increase between each number on the scale in either hydrogen/ hydroxide ions depending which end. Ph 4,5,6 ~ ph4= 100x more ? than ph6
Hydrogen Acids Bases \+ Hydrogen - Hydroxide 10 Acidic
Buffers:
Regulate a? / b? balance Adjust the ? of solution Either add or removes Hydrogen ions Buffers in body fluid maintain ? = h? Blood ph = 7.35-7.?? Acidosis= ph v 7.?? Alkalosis=ph ^ 7.?5
Acid/base Ph Ph, homeostasis 7.45 7.35 7.45
Buffering systems:
A major buffering system in the body is the Carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer.
If there is an increase in acidity bicarbonate ions are used to remove ?+
If there is a reduction in acidity carbonic acid can add ?+
Used to control the ?/? Regulation in the body
