properties of water
polar molecule
high surface tension
ice is less dense than water
high heat required for vaporization
high specific heat capacity
high dielectric constant
hydrogen bonding
between partially negative charged atoms with high electronegativity and partially positive hydrogen atoms that are bonded to oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine atoms
holds tertiary structure of proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids together and contributes to stability
provide strength and structure of plant cell wall in cellulose
each water molecule participates in
four hydrogen bonds
to break hydrogen bonds water molecules require
80 kcal/mol
ionic compounds are dissociated into ions in aqueous solutions because
they become dissociated into ions
spheres of hydration
water spheres that encapsulate ions
maintain separation of ions from each other
must be broken for binding to take place with a specific binding partner
hydrophilic
water-soluble
hydrophobic interaction
nonpolar/neutral molecules
do not interact with water
are driven together in aqueous solutions
amphipathic molecules
have a distinct nonpolar region and a distinct polar region
covalent bond energy
100 kcal/mol
ionic bond energy
5 kcal/mol
hydrogen bond energy
5 kcal/mol
hydrophobic interaction bond energy
5 kcal/mol
van der Waals bond energy
5 kcal/mol depends on SA
electrolyte
any fluid that contains free ions
we get them through ingestion
important ions in physiology
sodium
potassium
calcium
chloride
phosphate
pH
negative logarithm of proton concentration
less than 7 is acidic
more than 7 is basic
7 is neutral
pH equation
-log(H^+)
acid dissociation
an acid is in equilibrium with a proton and corresponding conjugate base
Bronsted def of an acid
proton donor
Bronsted def of base
proton acceptor
