Study Notes
Water as a Solvent
- Water is the cell solvent due to its ability to dissolve various compounds.
- This is primarily because of hydrogen bond formation between water and biochemical molecules.
Acidic Buffer
- H₂CO₃/NaHCO₃ is an acidic buffer.
pH Meter
- A pH meter measures hydrogen ion (H⁺) concentration.
Major Blood Buffer
- The bicarbonate buffer is the major buffer in blood.
Buffer Formation
- Buffers are formed from a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.
