WaterWater• The solvent of choice for biological systems.
• Medium for metabolism.
• Able to absorb large amounts of heat.
• Solvent for many materials.
• Used for transport - blood, cerebrospinal fluid, lymph, urine.
• Serves as a reactant or product of many biochemical reactions.

Hydrogen bondingHydrogen bonding• The small size of
hydrogen along with the shape and polarity of the water molecule all add up to a relatively strong attraction between water molecules.
• Hydrogen bonding is the strongest of the intermolecular forces.

Water as a solventWater as a solvent
• Nonpolar compounds like fats are not very soluble in water - hydrophobichydrophobic.
• Some materials have both polar and nonpolar ends - amphiphilicamphiphilic.
• One end tends to dissolve in polar solvents and the other in nonpolar ones.

pH and pOHpH and pOH
• We need to measure and use acids and bases over a very large concentration range.
• pH and pOH are systems to keep track of these very large ranges.
– pH = -log[H3O+]
– pOH = -log[OH-]
– pH + pOH = 14

pH scalepH scale
• A log based scale used to keep track of the large change important to acids and bases.
When you add an acid, the pH gets smaller.
When you add a base, the pH gets larger.
