Acids And Bases Test Flashcards
What is a solution with its weak acid and it’s conjugate base
Buffer
Which system is responsible for buffering our blood every day
Carbonic acid or bicarbonate buffer system
What will our blood do if our pH has dropped to low
Acidosis
Occurs during acidosis
Increased amount of H plus ions and pair up with bicarbonate ions
What is alkalosis
Alkalosis 0H- ions are paired with carbonic acid ions to lower a higher PH
Can lungs due to compensate for acidosis
Hyperventilate
What can the kidney do to decrease acidosis
Decrease HC03- output
What can the lungs due to solve alkalosis in the blood
Hypoventilation- retains CO2 in the blood
What can the kidney do to compensate for alkalosis
Produce less HCO3 minus prevent its reaction with H plus
What is a neutralization reaction
And acid can react with a base to produce a salt and water
What is an indicator
Substances can be identified as acids or bases when they are tested with an indicator changes color based on a solutions pH
What is phenolphthalein
An indicator that is pink in basic solutions and clear an acidic solutions
What is bromothymol blue
Indicator that is blue and basic solutions and yellow in acidic solutions
What is H30 plus also known as
The hydronium ion
What is OH minus also known as
The hydroxide ion
What will doctors tell you to eat if you need to neutralize excess stomach acid and why
Antacid because it’s a weak base
Any ionic compound can also be called a
Salt
What do usually think of when we say the word salt
Sodium chloride
This substance can donate protons
Acid
This substance can except protons
Base
What are Bronsted Lowry acids and bases
Acids that donate protons and bases that accept protons
What is a conjugate acid base pair
They differ by just one proton where the acid has the extra proton
How are H plus and OH minus related
Are inversely related because H plus times OH minus equals 1×10 to the -14th
How are pH and POH related
They are inversely related because pH plus P0H equals 14
