| the change from ATP to ADP | releases energy |
| The rate of a chemical reaction is determined by | how easily substances react with each other, the concentration, the temperature and presence of a catalyst |
| catalyst, concentration, reaction, temperature | effect the rate of a chemical reaction |
| Concentration | the greater the concentration, the faster the reaction |
| With greater concentrations the reaction is faster because... | molecules are closer together |
| Our bodies have a lot of oxygen so it is ... | able to react easier |
| Less oxygen in our bodies would make it ... | harder to sustain life |
| an increase in temperature | makes chem. reactions faster |
| a decrease in temperature | slow chem. reactions down |
| catalyst | a substance that speeds up a chem. reaction without being changed or depleted. |
| pH refers to ... | acids and bases |
| Acid | give protons away in water (H+ wants neg. charges) |
| Bases | take protons away in water (OH- wants positive charges) |
| Stong acids and bases do what in water? | dissociate |
| the stronger the acids and bases ... | the more they dissociate |
| HCl- (hydrogen chloride) | dissociates in fluid you drink and digests food |
| pH scale | ranges from 0-14 |
| indicates H+ concentration of a solution | pH |
| Neutral pH | pure water |
| equal number of H+ and OH- with pH of 7 | neutral PH |
| pH less than 7 and more H+ ions | acidic |
| pH greater than 7 and has fewer H+ and more OH- | basic |
| salts | made from strong acids and strong bases dissociating in water |
| HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + Water | makes a salt |
| buffers | chemicals that resist changed in pH when either an acid or base is added |
| binds acids or bases so pH doesn't change | buffer |
