Term
|
Definition
polar, covalently bonded atoms
weakens electrostatic interactions due to high dielectric constant
2 long pairs of e-
forms hydrogen bonds (is a H bond donor & acceptor)
|
|
|
Term
Hydrogen Bonding
direction?
electrostatic : covalent ?
Other properties? |
|
Definition
highly directional (linear is strongest)
90% electrostatic/10% covalent
High melting pt, boiling pt, heat of vaporization
Water can form 4 H bonds @ once, bc H bonds are dynamic (constantly breaking & forming) |
|
|
Term
Hydrophobic Effects
Important in Protein folding & lipid-lipid interaction
(Polarity) |
|
Definition
Not caused by hydrophobic molecules interacting strongly, but by water interacting strongly!!
Water binds strongly to itself, loss of entropy due to ordering.
Hydrophobic interactions are a factor in micelle formation
Decreases surface area when nonpolar molecules are clumped. |
|
|
Term
[ concentration ] high or low, inside or outside?
Isotonic
Hypertonic
Hypotonic |

Term
|
Definition
Kw = [H+][OH-] = 1*10^(-14)
Increase in [H] causes decrease in [OH]
pH = log (1/[H+]) = -log [H+]
= pKa + log ( [A]/[HA] )
1 pH unit = 10 times [H+]

Term
Strong Acids
Strong Bases |
|
Definition
Ionize completely in aqueous solution
Mineral acids (HCl, HNO3, H2SO4)
Bases (NaOH, KOH) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
do not ionize completely
Ka = ( [H][A] ) / [HA]
pKa = -log Ka
Increasing Ka = Increasing Acid strength = Decreasing Base strength |
|
|
Term
Polar
Nonpolar
Amphipathic |
|
Definition
Polar: central atom, surrounding atoms are *the same*, hydrophillic. SH2, NH3
Nonpolar: no central atom, hydrophobic, no charges. N2, O=O
Amphipathic: contains both polar & nonpolar regions |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
the one with the pKa closest to desired pH |
