1
New cards

5 Important properties of Water

High Heat capacity, High heat vaporization, Polar solvent properties, Reactivity, Cushioning

2
New cards

High Heat capacity

Water absorbs and releases heat before changing in temperature(beneficial for redistribution of water through blood)

3
New cards

High heat vaporization

When water evaporates changes to water vapor absorbing heat to break hydrogen bonds (benificial for cooling techniques, sweating)

4
New cards

Acid

Proton donors, release hydrogen ions

5
New cards

Base

Proton acceptors, accept hydrogen ions

6
New cards

pH

Measurement of relative concentration of solution(0 acid, 14 base)

7
New cards

Buffers

Regulate the acid-base homeostasis, resist large swing in pH by body fluids by releasing hydrogen ions when pH drops

8
New cards

Bicarbonate buffer system

Keeps blood pH within 7.35-7.45
