Study Notes

Acids, Bases, and Equivalents

1 mole of HCl produces 1 mole of H+ ions, equal to 1 equivalent.
1 mole of H2SO4 yields 2 moles of H+, equal to 2 equivalents; thus, 1 equivalent of H2SO4 = ½ mol.
Equivalents of ions:
- Na+ = 23.1 g
- Cl- = 35.5 g
- Mg2+ = 12.15 g (24.3 g / 2)

Molarity and Neutralization

Formula: Equivalents = n x M x volume (L).
One equivalent of an acid neutralizes one equivalent of a base.
When titrating, the concentrations of H+ and OH- equalize at neutralization.
Example calculations involve determining volumes and concentrations using equivalences.

Ionization of Water

Water dissociates into hydronium (H3O+) and hydroxyl (OH-) ions.
Equilibrium constant for water ionization at standard conditions: 1.8 x 10^-16 M.

Introduction to Biochemistry

Biochemistry integrates knowledge of chemical structures and biological functions of molecules.
Highlights importance in diagnosing diseases and drug design.

Chemical Elements in Living Organisms

Human body composed of ~30 elements; primary elements include carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), and nitrogen (N), accounting for 96.5% of body weight.
Calcium and phosphorus raise the total to 98.5%.

Bonding Properties

Carbon can form four stable bonds; bonds can be single, double, or triple.
Polarity in covalent bonds arises from unequal sharing of electrons, forming dipoles.
Non-covalent interactions include hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, and electrostatic interactions, contributing to molecular stability.

Properties of Water

Water is a polar molecule due to electronegativity differences.
Displays high cohesion and serves as an excellent solvent.
Reactivity as a nucleophile is important for various biochemical reactions.

Acids and Bases Types

Arrhenius definition: acids produce H+ and bases produce OH- in water.
Brønsted-Lowry definition: acids donate protons (H+), bases accept protons.
Multi-protic acids differ in the strength of proton donation.

Acid/Base Strength

Strong acids dissociate completely, while weak acids do not ionize fully.
The strength of an acid inversely correlates with the strength of its conjugate base.

Equilibrium Constants

The equilibrium constant (Keq) indicates favorability of products versus reactants.
Acid dissociation constant (Ka) indicates extent of ionization; pKa is the negative logarithm of Ka.

Molarity and Normality

Molarity (M) defined as moles of solute per liter of solution.
Normality (N) relates to equivalents of reactive species; useful in titrations and stoichiometry.

Grams Calculation for Solutions

Formula to determine grams from molarity: grams = M x volume (L) x MW.
Example: For making a 5M NaCl solution in 100 mL, 29.29 g of NaCl is needed.

Equivalents in Acids, Bases, and Ions

An equivalent is the amount of moles of hydrogen ions an acid can donate or a base can accept.
Definition: 1 g-Eq of an ion equals molar mass divided by ionic charge.
