    • Question
    • Answer
    • Side 3
    • What are salts
    • Ionic compounds that dissociate in water
    • Acids
    • Electrolytes that are H+ Donors

      THey release H+ in Solution
    • Bases
    • Electrolytes that are H+ acceptors

      Ex: Bicarbonate and Ammonia
    • Relationship between H+ and Acidity
    • As H+ increase, Acidity Increases
    • Relationship between H+ and Basicity (Alkalinity)
    • As H+ decrease, Alkalinity increases
    • pH Neutral
    • Contains equal numbers of H+ and OH-

      Ex: Pure Water
    • As H+ increase, pH _______
    • Decreases
    • As H+ decrease, pH _________
    • Increases
    • How is pH regulated?
    • By kidneys, lungs, and buffers
    • Why is pH regulated?
    • Because a slight change in pH can be fatal and damage living tissue

      Interferes with cell functions
    • Buffers
    • Compounds that resist pH changes

      Convert strong acids and bases into weak ones
