    Study Notes

    Water, Acids-Bases, and Buffer Systems

    • Learning Objectives: Recognize water structure, relate water structure to solubility, calculate concentrations in solutions, define acids and bases, and describe buffers.

    Water

    • Water's properties are crucial to biological molecule interactions. A thorough understanding of water's structure is vital.

    • Total Body Water: Approximately 60% of an adult's body weight. Water is distributed between intracellular fluid (ICF) and extracellular fluid (ECF). Intracellular fluid (approximately 40% body weight) and Extracellular fluid (approximately 20% body weight).

    • Water as a Universal Solvent: Water dissolves and transports compounds in blood, plays a role in molecule movement within cells, separates charged molecules, dissipates heat, and takes part in chemical reactions.

    Solubility

    • Dipolar Nature: Water's dipolar nature is essential for its solvent function.

    • Universal Solvent: Water's ability to dissolve many substances makes it a universal solvent.

    • Ionic Substances: Water dissolves ionic substances by attracting cations (positive ions) and anions (negative ions) to opposing charges in water molecules.

    • Polar Molecules: Polar molecules can interact with water molecules. Such substances are called hydrophilic (“water-loving”).

    • Non-Polar Molecules: Non-polar molecules cannot interact with water and are called hydrophobic (“water-fearing”). These tend to clump together.

    Structure of Water

    • Water is a dipolar molecule due to oxygen's high electronegativity, which pulls electrons closer to it than the hydrogen atoms.

    • Hydrogen Bonds: Hydrogen bonds form between water molecules, a crucial property in water's behavior.

    Solutions

    • Homogenous mixtures: Mixtures of two or more substances are considered solutions if they are homogenous.

    • Solvent: The major component is the solvent; the minor component is the solute.

    • Types of Solutions: Different combinations of gas, liquid, and solid substances can form solutions.

    Factors Affecting Solubility

    • Solute/Solvent: The type of solute and solvent influence solubility.

    • Temperature: Temperature change often affects solubility.

    • Pressure: Changes in pressure, especially relevant for gases dissolving in liquids, can impact solubility.

    • Common Ion Effect: The presence of a common ion can affect solubility.

    Factors Affecting Dissolving Speed

    • Temperature: Higher temperatures generally increase dissolving speed.

    • Particle Size: Smaller particles dissolve faster.

    • Mixing: Stirring or mixing enhances dissolving speed.

    Amount of Solute in a Solution

    • Weight Percent (w/w): Weight of solute per 100 g of solution.

    • Volume Percent (v/v): Volume of solute per 100 mL of solution.

    • Weight/Volume Percent (w/v): Weight of solute per 100 mL of solution.

    • Molarity (M): Moles of solute per liter of solution.

    Acid/Base

    • Acids: Substances that release hydrogen ions (protons).

    • Bases: Substances that accept hydrogen ions.

    • Amphoteric Substances: Substances that can act as both an acid and a base.

    • Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs: Acids and their corresponding bases.

    pH

    • pH Definition: The negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration. pH = -log10[H+].

    • Why use pH? It's a convenient scale for expressing the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

    pH and Biological Functions

    • Biological systems maintain specific pH ranges, critical for optimal function. Blood pH is specifically narrow in its range.

    Buffer Systems

    • Buffer Action: Buffers resist changes in pH when acid or base is added to a solution.

    • Weak Acid/Conjugate Base or Base/Conjugate Acid: Buffer systems involve a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.

    Regulation of Blood pH

    • Bicarbonate Buffer System: Critical for maintaining blood pH.

    • Phosphate Buffer System: Another important system for blood pH.
