Q

as the number of carbon atoms increase in alcohols and amines what happens to the solubility?

A

it decreases, as chain inc, becomes more nonpolar =hydrophobic and cannot for H bonds

Q

what is capillarity?

A

it is ability of a liquid to move thru a narrow space of polar surfaces, against gravity, without external help, in water it is adhesion+cohesion

Q

which molecules dissolve readily in water?

A

polar mols such as sugars dissolve readily in water as replace solute-solute H bonds w/ energetically favourable water-solute H bonds.

Q

ph?

25
pOH?
pOH= -log{OH-}
26
kw?
{H+} ={OH-} = 1x10-7M
27
ph scale?
logarithmic scale measures conc H+ and OH-
28
hoe do you measure ph?
- dyes | - ph meter
29
acidosis ?
blood ph lower than 7.35
30
alkalosis?
blood ph above 7.45
31
Arrhenius definition of acid
=substance e- neutral dissociated = H+ + A-
32
Arrhenius definition of base
= substance e- neutral dissociated = OH- + B+
33
Lowry definition of acid
=substance transfers H+
34
Lowry definition of base
= substance captures H+
35
amphoteric ?
acts as base and acid
36
zwitterionic form?
mol/ ion has positive + neg charged groups (functional groups)
37
work out pka?
=-logka
38
pka?
measure of acid strength
39
ka?
measure of weak acid dissociation constant
40
poliprotic acid ?
``` acid ionize (donates) to more than 1 H+ per mol di,tri,protic acid H3PO4 ```
41
what does a titration experiment do?
pka acids
42
how to do a titration experiment?
1. acid titrated with strong base | 2. acid added in small amounts till neutralised determined with dye or ph meter
43
all weak acids have a buffering zone which is also called?
a flat zone, where pka=ph
44
ka in relation to A.S?
higher ka higher A.S.
45
pka in relation to A.S ?
lower the pka higher the A.S
46
a weak acid + anion (neg charged ion) can act as?
can act as a buffer
47
what is the equivalence point?
enough base is added to react with all weak acid present in sample, ph changes rapidly
48
what does the hederson hassel balch equation show?
describes the shape of titration curve of any weak acid
49
what is the hederson hassel balch equation?
ph= pka + log {A-}/ {HA}
50
what is le chatelieres principle?
if equilibrium becomes unbalanced reaction will shift to restore.
51
what are the 4 buffering systems?
1. buffering solutions (rapid term 2. circulatory system (med term 3. respiratory system (med term 4. renal system (long term
52
which buffering solutions are there? 3
1. proteins 2. phosphate (intracellular) inside cell 3. bicarbonate (blood)
53
the respiratory system buffers what?
partial pressure of co2
54
ph homeostasis is by which proteins?
asp, glu, his
55
renal system buffers what?
kidney adjusts HCO3 in plasma
56
bicarbonate buffering in blood =
carbonic acid as H+ donor and bicarbonate as H+ acceptor
57
phosphate buffering intracellular=
H2PO4- as H+ donor and HPO42- as H+ acceptor | *optimum at ph close to its pka 6.86
58
proteins as buffers as they are amphoteric?
COOH= acid, NH2=base | *proteins like haemoglobin containing HISTIDIE buffer effectively near neutral PH
