Study Notes
Enzyme Function
- Enzymes act as catalysts
- Catalysts speed up chemical reactions
Atomic Structure and Isotopes
- Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are isotopes
- The provided example describes isotopes
Acid-Base Reactions and pH
- Adding HCl to a solution raises [H+] concentration, lowering pH
- A pH of 7.45 in a solution with the addition of HCl would decrease the pH
Ions and Electrolytes
- Na+ is a cation, a positively charged ion
- Na+ is an electrolyte
Blood pH
- Blood pH is 7.35-7.45, making it slightly alkaline (not acidic)
Solutions and Solvents
- A solution with alcohol as the solvent is a tincture
- Water is the universal solvent
Ions (Anions and Cations)
- Chloride (Cl-) is an anion (negatively charged ion)
Cellular Metabolism Waste
- Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a waste product of cellular metabolism
Mixtures
- A combination of sugar and iron filings is a mixture
Anions
- HCO3- (bicarbonate) is an anion
Cations
- A cation is a positively charged ion
Hydrogen Ion Concentration and pH
- A solution with a lower pH has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions ([H+])
Blood pH and Acidity/Alkalinity
- A blood pH of 7.28 indicates acidosis (excess H+)
Bonding Types
- Ionic and covalent bonding describes how atoms form compounds through sharing or swapping electrons
Energy Transfer
- ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy-transferring molecule
Neutral pH
- A neutral pH is 7.00
Electrolytes
- NaCl (table salt) is an electrolyte
pH Measurement
- pH measures the concentration of hydrogen ions ([H+])
Water Formation
- Water forms when oxygen shares electrons with hydrogen atoms
Atomic Mass and Number
- An atom with 4 protons, 4 neutrons, and 4 electrons has an atomic mass of 8 and an atomic number of 4
Water (Chemical Formula)
- Water is formed by one oxygen atom bonded covalently to two hydrogen atoms
pH and Alkalinity
- A solution with a pH of 8 is more alkaline than blood
Ions and Atomic Structure
- An ion with 8 protons and 9 electrons is an anion
Acidic/Alkaline pH
- A solution with a pH of 6.8 is acidic
Catalysts
- Catalysts increase the speed of chemical reactions
Covalent Bonds
- Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons
Atomic Components
- Electrons orbit the nucleus of the atom
Universal Solvent
- Water is the universal solvent
Ionization
- Ionization is the dissociation of a compound into its ions (e.g., NaCl into Na+ and Cl-)
