Electrolytes are

Substances that release ions in water
Acids are
- Substances (electrolytes) that dissociate to release hydrogen ions (H+) in water
- Ex: HCL (hydrochloric acid)--> H+ + CL-
Bases are
- Substances (electrolytes) that combine with hydrogen ions
- Ex: H+ (acid) + OH- (base)--> H20
Salts are
- Substances formed by the reaction between an acid and a base
- Ex. HCL (acid) + NaOH (base) --> NaCL (salt) + HOH (water)
pH Scale is
- a shorthand system used to indicate the concentration of hydrogen ions, pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. Normal/ neutral pH is 7.0. Acidic solutions have pH values less than 7.0, alkaline solutions have pH values that are more than 7.0
Alkalosis is

blood pH above 7.45
Acidosis is

blood pH below 7.35
Buffers are

chemicals that resist pH change
Carbonic acid dissociation formula is

CO2+H2O--><--H2CO3--><--H+ + HCO3-
