Chapter 2 • Water • Acids and Bases • Ionization
Molarity of Water 1 liter of water weighs 1000 g 1 mole of water = 18 g Therefore the molarity of water is = 1000/18 M = 55M
Acids, Bases and Buffers pH, Titration, pKa, pKb, physiological buffers
Ionization of Water
pH • Because it is cumbersome to use exponentials to describe the amount of hydrogen ions present in a solution the pH scale was adopted. • pH = - log10 [H+] • For example if [H+] = 10-7M the pH = 7
