Chapter 2 introduce the water, pH, and Ionic equilibria. This chapter presents the following content: Properties of water, pH, buffers, water's Unique Role in the Fitness of the environment. | CHAPTER 2 Water, pH, and Ionic Equilibria to accompany Biochemistry, 2/e by Reginald Garrett and Charles Grisham All rights reserved.

Solvent Properties of Water Ions are always hydrated in water and carry around a "hydration shell" Water forms H-bonds with polar solutes Hydrophobic interactions - a "secret of life" Hydrophobic Interactions A nonpolar solute "organizes" water The H-bond network of water reorganizes to accommodate the nonpolar solute This is an increase in "order" of water This is a decrease in ENTROPY Amphiphilic Molecules Also called "amphipathic" Refers to molecules that contain both polar and nonpolar groups Equivalently - to molecules that are attracted to both polar and nonpolar environments Good examples - fatty acids Acid-base Equilibria The pH Scale A convenient means of writing small concentrations: pH = -log10 [H+] Sørensen (Denmark) If [H+] = 1 x 10 -7 M Then pH = 7 Dissociation of Weak Electrolytes Consider a weak acid, HA The acid dissociation constant is given by: HA H+ + A- Ka = [ H + ] [ A - ] __ [HA] The Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation Know this! You'll use it constantly. For any acid HA, the relationship between the pKa, the concentrations . | CHAPTER 2 Water, pH, and Ionic Equilibria to accompany Biochemistry, 2/e by Reginald Garrett and Charles Grisham All rights reserved.
