Electrolytes and Ionization
• When an electrolyte breaks apart in solution, the electrolyte is said to dissociate or ionize.

Lesson 2-2 Objectives• Explain the difference between a molecule
and a compound.• List five reasons why water is essential to life.• Explain the role of catalysts and enzymes.

Lesson 2-2 Objectives (cont’d.)
• Differentiate between an acid and a base.• Define pH.• Define energy and describe the role of
adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in energy transfer.
• Differentiate among mixtures, solutions, suspensions, colloidal suspensions, and precipitates.

Molecules and Compounds• Molecule: Two
or more atoms bonded together
• Compound: Molecules formed bytwo or more different atoms
Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights

Water: A Vital Substance
• Universal solvent• Temperature regulator• Ideal lubricant• Crucial part of most chemical reactions• Protective mechanism
Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights

Chemical Reactions
• Chemical reaction: The interaction of atoms of molecules or compounds to form new chemical combinations
• Catalysts: Chemical substances that speed up the rate of a chemical reaction
• Enzymes: Proteins that serve as catalysts
Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights
reserved.25
Acids and Bases
• Acid: An electrolyte that dissociates into H+ (hydrogen ion) and an anion
• Base: Substance, often OH- (hydroxyl ion), that combines with H+ to make a solution less acidic
• Acids and bases can be strong or weak
Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights
reserved.26
pH Scale
• pH: Unit of measurement indicating how many hydrogen ions are in a solution
• pH scale: Ranges from 0 to 14
• Midpoint of scale: pH 7, or neutral
Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights
reserved.27
Normal blood pH: 7.35 to 7.45
• Acidosis– Too many H+ ions– pH less than 7.35
• Alkalosis– Too few H+ ions– pH greater than 7.45
Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights
reserved.28
Energy: Ability to Perform Work• Six forms of energy– Mechanical – Chemical – Electrical – Radiant – Thermal – Nuclear
Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights

Energy Transfer
• Adenosine triphosphate (ATP): Energy transfer molecule
• Three parts of ATP– Base– Sugar– Three phosphate groups

Energy Transfer (cont’d.)
Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights
reserved.32
Energy Transfer (cont’d.)
• After the food we eat is broken down, energy is released. This energy is transferred to ATP so it can be used by the cells of the body.
Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights
reserved.33
Mixtures
• Mixtures: Combinations of two or more substances that can be separated by ordinary physical means.
• Example: A sugar-iron mixture can be separated by a magnet.
Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights
reserved.34
Solutions
• Solutions have two parts that remain evenly distributed (e.g., normal saline).– Solute: Substance present in smaller amount; is
the substance being dissolved– Solvent: Part of solution present in greater
amount; does the dissolving
• Two types of solutions– Aqueous solutions– Tinctures
Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights
reserved.35
Suspensions and Precipitates
• Suspensions: Mixtures with relatively large particles
• Colloidal suspension: Particles remain suspended within the liquid.
• Precipitates: Solids are formed and fall out of solution during a chemical reaction.
