Q

Hydrophobic effect

A

When the nonpolar regions of the molecules cluster together to make the smallest hydrophobic area to the aqueous solvent & the polar region are arranged to maximize their interaction with the solvent (in an amphophilic compounds)

Q

When water molecules move from high to low concentrations they produce _____________

A

Osmotic pressure

24
Q

Osmotic pressure

A

Is the force needed to resist water movement

25
Osmotic pressure equation:
∏= icRT
26
Osmosis
Water movement across a semipermeable membrane driven by difference in osmotic pressure
27
Isotonic solution
When the solution of osmolarity is equal to the outside of the cell (doesnt gain or lose water)
28
Hypertonic solution
Higher osmolarity than the outside of the cell, the cell shrinks as water moves out
29
Hypotonic solution
Lower osmolarity than the outside of the cell, the cell swells as water moves in
30
Osmotic lysis
Bursting of a cell
31
The ionization of water is expressed by an \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
Equilibrium constant
32
Kw is what
The ion product of water at 25 Celius
33
At 25 Celius Kw value is what ?
1 x 10-14 M2
34
Neutral pH
When there are equal concentrations of H+ & OH-
35
pH equation is what?
pH= -log{[H+] (when pH is greater than 7 its basic & when its lower than 7 its acidic)
36
When pH is below 7.4 its called ________ & when its above 7.4 its called \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
acidosis, alkalosis
37
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ are proton donors & ________ are proton acceptors
Acids, Bases
38
What is the pKa equation?
pKa = -log Ka (the stronger the acid the lower the pKa)
39
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ reveal the pKa of a weak acid
Titrations curves
40
A tritration curve is pH on the _____ axis & base added (usually NaOH) on the _____ axis (it shows the pKa of a weak acid)
y, x
41
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ are mixtures of weak acids & their conjugated bases
Buffers
42
Buffers
Are aqueous systems that tend to resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid (H+) or base (OH-) are added
43
The midpoint of the titration curve (the pH value) & 1 pH unit out is the ____________ region
Buffering
44
During the buffering region whether H+ or OH- is added the pH barely \_\_\_\_\_\_\_
Change (stays the same basically)
45
The _________________ equations relates pH, pKa, & buffer concentration
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation
46
What is the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation?
pH=pKa + log [H+]/[HA]
47
The pKa of a weak acid is equal to the _____ of the solution at the midpoint of a titrations curve
pH
48
Weak acid or bases buffer cells & tissues against _____ change
pH
49
The two important biological buffers are the ____________ & ____________ systems
Phosphate & bicarbonate systems
50
The phosphate system act in the _______ of the cell consist of H2PO4- as proton donor & H2PO42- as proton acceptor
