Unit 2 cont. Acid Bases Buffers Flashcards
(167 cards)
PH
the measurement of the concentration of free hydrogen ions in a solution. This affects the proteins.
Acids
donates hydrogen into a solution H+
Base
donates or releases hydroxide into a solution OH-. They also pulls out hydrogen in the solution.
Another name for base or basic?
Alkaline
If there are more hydrogen atoms what is it
acid 6 and below is acidic
if there are fewer hydrogen atoms what is it
alkaline or base, above 7 is base
If we are further from 7 is it stronger acid/base or weaker?
stronger
If we are closer to 7 is it a stronger or weaker base/acid
weaker
If there are more hydrogen atoms does that make it high pH or low pH
LOW and acidic
If there are few hydrogen atoms is the pH high or low
HIGH and basic
What is a safe blood pH
7.35-7.45
What is our body fluids on the pH scale?
6.5-7.5
Whats more acidic, coffee or baking soda
coffee
is blood basic or acidic
basic
Whats more alkalin, water or coffee
water
Acidosis
more acidic blood
Alkalosis
more basic blood
Every time you move on the pH scale it increases by what
10s
Is acid a high or low pH
low
is basic a high or low pH
high
How much more basic is a solution with a pH of 12 than a pH of 7
100,000, 10x5=100,000
What is normal body fluid on the ph scale
6.5-7.5
Buffer
substances that neutralize other acids and bases in a solution to prevent pH swings
Denaturation
when protein changes shape,a change in the structure of a molecule through physical or chemical means. Denatured proteins lose their functional shape and are no longer able to carry out their jobs
