-
Chemical reaction=
- breaking and reforming of bonds
- reactants to products
- all chemical reactions must be balanced
-
Biological chemical reaction, ex. photosynthesis
6CO2+6H2O----> C6H12O6 + 6O2
yield = light
-
Water molecule can make ___ bonds
4
-
what are the 4 emergent properties of water?
- cohesive behavior
- ability to moderate temperature
- expansion upon freezing
- versatility as a solvent
-
cohesion
the tendency of a substance to stick to itself b/c of hydrogen bonds b/c of polar covalent bonds
-
adhesion
- the tendency of a substance to stick to some other substance
- ex. water sticks to cellulose and it climbs up trees
-
capillary action
- cohesion + adhesion working together
- it is an unbroken bond of water; one air bubble would ruin it
-
surface tension
- property of cohesion + adhesion
- the amount of force required to break the surface
- water has high surface tension relative to other liquids.
-
moderating effects of temperature by H2O (all due to hydrogen bonding)
- kinetic energy= energy of motion
- heat= the total amount of kinetic energy due to molecular motion
- temperature= average kinetic energy of molecules
- ex. high flame will break hydrogen bonds (boiling water)
- breaking hydrogen bonds=gas molecules absorb heat
- when things are colder, hydrogen bonds form
- forming hydrogen bonds releases heat to the air
- large bodies of water moederate temp
-
why does ice float?
hydrogen bonds-when cool- makes an ordered crystal shape, "arm's length", so that it's less dense than water
-
what happens to heat when ice is formed?
heat is released to the water below and air above.
-
calorie
amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of water by 1 degree celcius
-
specific heat
heat that must be absorbed or lost for 1 g of that substance to change its temperature by 1 degree celcius
-
what is water's specific heat?
1 cal/g/degree celcius
-
why does water resist change in temperature?
due to high specific heat
-
solution
a liquid that is a homogenous mixture of a substance
-
solvent
dissolving agent of solution
-
solute
substance thats dissolved
-
aqueous solution
where water is solvent
-
ionic bonds are weak when
wet
-
shell of hydration
- substance must be ion or polar to get shell
- ex. NaCl in water
-
saturated solution
too much solute, not enough water (solvent)
-
hydrophyllic
water solubile (charged/polar)
-
hydrophobic
- not water solubile
- contains no polar bonds or charges
- ex. C+H
-
Molecular mass (or mw)
- sum of all the masses of all atoms in a molecule
- ex. water is 1+1+16=18
-
Molar units
1 mol per Liter
-
pH
1 out of 10 million times in pure water there is one hydronium (H3O+) ion and one hydroxide (OH-) ion
-
acids
- donates H+ to the solution
- 1-6 acidic
-
base
- donates OH- to solution or removes H+ from solution
- 8-14 basic
-
buffer
resists changes in pH
-
buffering system
weak acid and the salt of a weak acid
-
strong acids
ionize 100 %, but weak acids do not
-
why are measurements important?
- replication
- communication
- function
- objectivity
-
metric system
- used worldwide
- based on tens
- volume, mass, length are tied together for easier calculations
-
transfer pipette vs. serological pipette?
- transfer pipette has no measurements. it is used as a guide to add one drop at a time
- serological pipette is used as a measuring device for volume and it has lines on it for 5 ml 10 ml etc.
-
proteins
- weak bonds keep proteins together
- hydrogen bonds, van der waals, ionic
- if its too acidic, protein loses structure + function and it denaturates because H+ break the bonds
-
hemoglobin changes
- lung pH is 7.4
- leg pH is 7.2
- when hemoglobin gets to legs, its shape slightly changes so that the O leaves the protein and enters tissue
-
Human blood buffer is
carbonic acid
-
increase in CO2
- it increases H protons in oceans
- which removes CO32- ion, coral reefs cant build and they die
-
we're carbon based life forms because
carbon makes 4 bonds and it can form 3-D molecules
-
carbon combined to itself and other elements can form
single bonds, double bonds, triple bonds, long chains, branch, rings, fused rings
-
structural isomers
- same formula, same MW, different structure in space
- ex. pentane C5H12
-
when its a double bond, carbon
cannot rotate
-
2 types of geometric isomers
- cis-isomer = same side
- trans-isomer = different side
-
enantiomers
- mirror images
- ex. your two hands
- there is two: levo (left side) and dexar (right side)
- all amino acids are L in nature
- all sugars are D
-
-
carboxyl
- carboxylic acid or organic acid
- R-C--O
- -O-H
-
amino acids
- monomors for proteins
- very polar molecule
- put on organic molecule and it makes it basic
- R-N-H
- -H
