The grade of acidity is proportional to the concentration of hydrogen protons H +

The pH scale Allows us to Quantify How Acidic or Basic Compounds are

The pH is a scale used to quantified the level of acidity or concentration of hydrogen ions

When the concentration of H increases, the pH decreases

When a solution becomes more acid, its pH drops

When a solution becomes more basic, its pH rises

Ex: Solution 1 is more acid than solution 2. Therefore, pH of solution 1 is _________ than pH of solution 2

Ex: Solution 3 is less acid than solution 4. Therefore, pH of solution 3 is _________ than pH of solution 4

Ex: Solution 5 is more basic than solution 6. Therefore, pH of solution 5 is _________ than pH of solution 6

Ex: Solution 7 is less basic than solution 8. Therefore, pH of solution 7 is _________ than pH of solution 8

How the pH is measured ?

pH

Why does pH matter ?

Because living things are very sensitive to changes in the pH.

Ex: The pH of human blood normally ranges from 7.35 - 7.45. If pH drops under 7.35 the persons has an acidosis. If the pH raises over 7.45 the person is in alkalosis.

pH below 7 can produce coma and death

pH above 7.8 can produce uncontrollable and sustained skeletal muscle contraction and death

pH

Abnormal fluctuations in pH can damage cells and tissues by:

1- Breaking chemicals bounds

2- Changing the shape of proteins, which consequently lose their functions.

3- Altering cellular functions

pH

Buffers resist changes in pH because they can remove or release hydrogen ions

If the concentration of H buffer system remove H and the pH does not change

+ +

If the concentration of H buffer system releases H and the pH does not change

+ +

Buffer is a chemical system that resists abrupt and large swings in the pH of body fluids

Homeostasis of acid-base balance is carefully regulated by chemical systems called buffers
