|
what is a buffer solution? |
solution that resist the change of PH when a small amount of an acid or base is added to it. |
|
what is buffer? |
called to the mixture of solutes that is responsible for the buffering action of a solution |
|
examples of buffer |
bicarbonates phosphates amino acids proteins |
|
what are the importance of buffer solution? |
1. the PH blood maintains a constant PH of 7.4 unber a very wide variety take of physiological condition 2. in aqueous phase of all living cells, buffer solution maintains nearly constant PH of 7 |
|
many chemical reaction in aqueous solution change the pH of the solution and these reaction can be studied at a constant pH by ________ in buffer solution |
carrying them out |
|
a buffer is usually made by mixing _____ |
weak acid with its conjugate base or weak base with its conjugate acid |
|
acid and base components of the buffer (do, do not) react with each other |
do not |
|
when base is added to the buffer, what happens? |
it reacts with the acid compound of the buffet, thus the pH of the buffer solution doesn't change appreciably |
|
what is enthalpy? |
heart change that occurs at constant pressure |
|
what is heat? |
a reflection of random molecular motion |
|
what is exothermic process? |
when the system releases heat and assigned by negative heat |
|
what is endothermic process? |
system gains head and is assigned by positive heat |
