    Study Notes

    Bioorganic Chemistry 2nd Assessment

    • Acids and Bases:

      • Arrhenius: Acids donate hydrogen ions (H+) in water; bases donate hydroxide ions (OH-) in water.
      • Brønsted-Lowry: Acids are proton donors; bases are proton acceptors.
      • Lewis: Acids accept electron pairs; bases donate electron pairs.

    • Electrolytes and Non-Electrolytes:

      • Electrolytes: Compounds that break into ions and conduct electricity in solutions. Examples include HCl, NaCl, H₂SO₄, KOH, salts.
      • Non-Electrolytes: Compounds that do not break into ions and do not conduct electricity in solutions. Examples include CO₂, alcohols, sugars, organic solvents.

    Dissociation Constant, Hydrogen Ions, and pH Calculations

    • pH 7: Concentration of H₃O⁺ = OH⁻
    • pH below 7: Higher concentration of H₃O⁺ than OH⁻.
    • pH above 7: Higher concentration of OH⁻ than H₃O⁺.
    • pH Calculation: pH = -log[H₃O⁺]
    • pOH Calculation: pOH = -log[OH⁻]
    • pH + pOH = 14.00
    • [H₃O⁺] Calculation: [H₃O⁺] = 10⁻ᵖᴴ

    Buffer Solutions

    • Buffer solutions: Solutions that resist changes in pH upon addition of small amounts of strong acid or base.
    • Buffer composition: Contains a weak acid and its conjugate base (or a weak base and its conjugate acid).
    • Buffer Capacity: Buffer capacity is affected by the concentrations of acid and conjugated base components. Increasing concentrations results in a higher buffer capacity.

    Spectroscopy and Law of Bouguer-Lambert-Beer

    • Spectroscopy: Branch of physics that studies absorption or scattering of electromagnetic radiation.
    • Law of Bouguer-Lambert-Beer: The sample path length (and concentration) is directly proportional to absorbance of light.

      • Thiols: Contain -SH group.
      • Sulfides: Contain -S-S- bond.
