Q

Exergonic reactions

A

Release of energy for body’s use

20
Q

Endergonic rx

A

Absorbing of free energy. Constant energy flow in and out of living things

21
Q

Oxidation rx

A

Reactant loses 1 or more e-. More + charge

22
Q

Reduction rx

A

Reactant gains 1 or more e-. More - charge

23
Q

Always go hand in hand

A

Oxidation gives and reduction receives

24
Oxygen has
A larger # of e- than H. Shared electrons of water pulled closer to the nucleus of oxygen than to the nucleus of h
25
Water molecule
Has a neutral charge No ions created H slightly positive O slightly negative
26
Polar compound
Uneven pattern of charge, makes water easy to dissolve substances
27
Universal solvent
Tends to dissociate substances. Creates ions for free elements to join with and create new reactions
28
H bonds
Positive area of one water molecule attracts to the negative of another water molecule
29
Weak bonds
Due to slight charges, easy to make and break
30
Cohesion -water in the cup
Attractive force Berenice particles of the same kind
31
Adhesion
Attractive force between particles of different kinds
32
Capillarity
Adhesion and cohesion working together against gravity
33
Solutions-mixtures
Substances uniformly distributed
34
Solvent
Substance that does the dissolving
35
Solute
Substance being dissolved
36
Saturated solution
No more solute can be dissolved
37
Concentration
Measurement of solute
38
Aqueous solution
A water solution
39
Suspension
Water is solvent and the particles are un dissolved
40
pH
Percent hydrogen
41
Dissociation of water (breaking apart of water) into ions (h+ and OH-)
Can happen easily because if weak bonds
42
Neutral
Solution contains equal number if hydronium and hydroxides
43
Acid solution
More h3o than oh
44
Base
Oh is greater than h3o
45
Base or basic
Alkalone
46
pH scale
Every 1=10x more 4 on ph has 10x h3o than 5 4 has 100x more h3o than 6 9 has 10x more than 8
47
Measurement instruments
Litmus paper-pink and blue pH paper- match color to # pH meter- computerized Indicator- purple cabbage juice
48
Buffer
Any kin of chemical substance that is used to neutralize acids a d bases to maintain homeostasis
