Objectives

2. . SI units

3. Calculate density

4. Define element, compound and molecules

5. Define Atoms and list the three main component of it

6. Define the atomic and mass number

7. Calculate the number of electrons, protons, and neutrons

The scientific method
• After defining a problem

– Experiments must be designed and conducted


M
E
T
– Measurements must be made
H
O– Information must be collected
D
– Guidelines are then formulated based on a pool of observations

• Hypotheses (predictions) are made, using this data, and then tested, repeatedly.

• Hypotheses eventually evolve to become laws and these are modified as new data
become available

• An objective point of view is crucial in this process. Personal biases must not
4
surface.
Measurements

• An important part of most experiments involves the determination (often, the

estimation) of quantity, volume, dimensions, capacity, or extent of something

– these determinations are measurements

SI units

SI base units SI derived units SI prefixes

8
SI base Units

9
Derived SI units

Units are made of some combination of SI base units

10
Derived SI units:

Property Unit Symbol Definition

Force Newton N Kg m/s2

Pressure Pascal Pa N /m2 or kg /m s2

Energy Joule J Kg m2 /s2 or N m

Electrical charge Coulomb c As

Electrical potential Volt V J/C

Frequency Hertz S-1 or Hz 1/s

11
SI prefixes

12
Prefix-Base Unit System
Prefixes convert the base units into units that
are appropriate for the item being measured.
Know these prefixes and conversions

13
• Example 1:

• Convert 6.83 pm to meters

• Replace p with x 10-12

= 6.83 x 10-12

• Example 2:

• Convert 5.847 x 102 kjoules to joules

• Replace k with x103

= 5.847 x102 x 103 =5.847 x 105 J

14
• See examples in page:17,18

15
Density calculations

• Density can be used to determine the identity of unknown substances

• Mass or volume of substance will vary from sample to sample

• Density will remain same at a given temperature


e.g. The density of water at room temperature (25oC) is ~1.00 g/mL; at 100oC = 0.96 g/mL

16
Density:

Density does not have an assigned SI unit – it’s a


combination of mass and length SI components.

Mass (g)

Density Volume
(g/ml) (ml)

17
• A student determine that a piece of an unknown material has a mass of 5.854g and a

volume of 7.57 cm3 what is the density ?

• Density = mass/volume

• Density = 5.57/ 7.57= 0.77331571994 g/cm3

• = 0.773 g/cm3

18
Atoms

19
The modern atomic theory

Done by English school teacher John Dalton in 1808

Atomic theory has four assumptions:

1. Atoms make up all matter

2. The atoms of one element differ from the atoms of another


element

3. Atoms combine in definite ratios to make compounds

4. Combination of atoms in compounds can change only when a


chemical reaction happens

20
Atoms are made of three particles:

• Protons (P+)

• Neutrons (N)

• Electrons (e-)

21
Protons Neutrons Electrons

Located in Located in have a


the nucleus the nucleus negative

Have a Have a mass


of one – are very small
mass of (have basically
similar to the
one proton
NO mass)

Number of electrons equal the number of protons


22
How to write elements symbols

23
Atomic Number (Z): is the number of protons in the nucleus of
the atom.

Z= n of p

• The number of protons (atomic number) determine the identity of


an element.

• Every element has its own unique atomic number

• Neutral atom : no of protons = no of electrons

24
Periodic table is arranged in sequence of increasing number of
electrons which is equal to atomic number

25
Mass Number (A):

•The sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

A = no of p + no of N

•Massive particles in the nucleus of atom (protons and neutrons )

26
Summary

Number of neutron = A - Z
27
Ex: how many neutrons, electrons
23
and protons are
in an atom of Sodium-23 11
Na

Answer:

• Atomic number = 11

• So : no of p = 11

• no of e = 11

• number of neutrons = A – Z = 23 – 11 = 12
28
Ex: how many neutrons, electrons and protons are in an
atom of sulfur S with mass number 33?

• The atomic number of sulfur is 16 so

• Number of neutrons = A – Z = 33 – 16 = 17

• Electrons = 16

• Protons = 16

29
Ex: An atom contains 24 neutrons and 25 protons what is the
mass number?

• Mass number = no of p + no of N

• = 25 + 24 = 49

Ex: an atom with a mass number of 39 contains


20 neutrons. What is the atomic number and
identity of the element
Atomic number = 39 – 20 = 19 the identity is potassium because
k is element 19
30
Isotopes
of an element have
different mass numbers
because
they have
different numbers of neutrons,
but they have
the same atomic number.

31
Example:
Isotopes of Carbon and Hydrogen

Isotopes of Hydrogen
protium deuterium tritium
H H H

Istopes of Carbon

32
33
 Atomic Mass: is the weighted average mass of all the naturally
occurring isotopes of that element.

 Atomic Mass Unit: is a unit used to compare the masses of atoms and
has the symbol u or amu.

1 amu or u: is approximately equal to the mass of a single proton or


neutron.

Chemists have defined the carbon-12 atom as having a mass of 12 atomic


mass units.

34
Average Atomic Mass

• The decimal number on periodic table

• Weighted average of all isotopes of an element

• Depends on percent (relative) abundance and mass of each isotope

• Measured in “atomic mass units” (amu)

35
Example

• Element lithium have two isotopes one of them have Mass=6

amu and Relative Abundance= 7.5% while the second

Mass=7 amu and Relative Abundance=92.5%

• What is the average mass of lithium?

• First convert relative abundance to decimals

Eg: 7.5 0.075

92.5 0.925
36
To solve example
Average atomic mass=
[(mass #1)x(abundance #1)] + [(mass #2)x(abundance
#2)]

(6 x .075) + (7 x .925)=

0.45 + 6.475=

6.925 amu

See examples of handout page 22


37
Now You Try
 Identify the element and tell how many protons it
has:
1) Atomic number 7 Nitrogen: 7 protons
2) Atomic Number 20 Calcium: 20 protons

• Identify the element and give its atomic number.


3) 15 protons Phosphorus: Atomic number 15
4) 4 protons Helium: Atomic Number 4
• Give the atomic number and number of protons.
5) potasium Atomic number 19; 19 protons
6) Sulfur Atomic number 16; 16 protons 38
The periodic table
Periods (rows)

Groups
(column)

39
• Different rows in the periodic table are called periods

• The number of electrons in a period increases as one traverse down

the periodic table

• Elements lie in the same column on periodic table are called a group

and behave in a similar fashion chemically

• All group 18 elements are inert gases (noble gases)

Stoichiometry
By

Dr. Hiba Mahgoub


Objectives
Atomic Mass or atomic weight

molecular mass

The Mole concept

Avogadro's number

Molar Mass

Percent Composition of Compounds


What is Stoichiometry?

The study of the quantitative aspects of chemical


reactions
Atomic mass

 also known as Atomic weight (periodic table)

Average atomic mass of an element calculated using the relative

abundance of isotopes in a naturally occurring element represented by

unit called Atomic mass unit (amu)

See p.35
Molecular Mass

The molecular mass of a compound is the sum of atomic masses

of the atoms in the molecules that form these compounds

Example: calculate the molecular mass of the sugar molecule

found in cane sugar C12H22O11:

(12x12.011)+ (22x1.0079) + (11x15.9994) = 342.299


The mole
 A unit of measurement in SI for amount of substance

Similar to dozen

 One mole is defined as the number of carbon atoms in exactly 12

grams of pure 12C


 From the sugar of cane example a mole of C12H22O11 would have

a mass of 342.299 g

 This quantity known as molar mass

 Molar mass a term that often used in place of the terms atomic mass

or molecular mass
Example: Find the molar mass of sodium carbonate,
Na2CO3 .

See examples page:36


Molar mass (g/mole) for some element only check
the periodic table
To determine the number of moles
Number of moles = mass (g)
molar mass (g/mole)

Example 2.3
How many moles are there in 23g of sodium?
number of moles = 23g = 1 mole
23(g/mole)
Example:

How many grams are there in 0.10 mole of CH4?

Calculate the molar mass of CH4

= 1 * 12 +4 * 1= 16 g/ mole

then use the formula

mass of CH4 =number of moles * molar mass of

CH4 = 0.10 mole * 16 g/mole = 1.6g


Avogadro's number and the mole

1 mole of anything contains the Avogadro's Number (NA) of


this thing.

1 mole of particles = 6.022×1023 particles for any substance.

Number of particles(atoms, molecules,…..) = number of moles


×Avogadro's
number
Example:

Calculate the number of atoms in 3 mole of hydrogen

Number of hydrogen atoms = 3x 6.022×1023

= 3 moles × 6.022 ×1023 H atom/mole

=1.80×1024 H atom
Example:
Calculate the number of atoms in 6.46 grams of helium (He)
number of moles = mass (g)
molar mass(g/mole)

= 6.46 g = 1.61 mole


4.0 g/mole

number of He atoms = number of moles ×Avogadro's number


=1.61 mole of He×6.02214×1023 He atom/mole= 9.66×1023He
atom
This could be done in one step
Mass percent

The mass percent of an element is defined as


Example:

Calculate the molar mass of C2H6O

MW of C2H6O = 2*C+6*H+1*O

= 2*12+6*1+1*16= 46 g/mole

Mass percent of C = 100 x mass of C = 100 x 2 x12 = 52.14%


Total molar mass 46
Calculate the mass percent of hydrogen and oxygen in C2H6O

Mass percent of H = 100 * 6 = 13.13%


46

Mass percent of O =100 * 16 = 34.72 %


46
The molar mass of C2H6O = 52.14+13.13+34.72 = 99.99%

See Example 2.13 -2.14 page 41,42,43

Combustion Analysis,chemical reactions and molarity


By
Dr. Hiba Mahgoub Ali

Bisha University
Objectives:
Combustion analysis

to calculate the percent composition of each


element in a compound.

to calculate the molarity of a solution

To find empirical formula of a new compound

to solve the stoichiometry problems.


• Combustion analysis is a method used in organic chemistry to determine the
mass % for different element of (organic) compound.

• To analyze the mass percent of carbon and hydrogen chemist use a combustion
device.

• How combustion analysis is done?

By burning a sample of unknown elemental composition in the presence of excess


oxygen

• Products of combustion include:

• CO2

• H2O
Sample Oxygen
CO2
Burning ⁺ H2O

• CO2 and H2O are absorbed in two different stages according to their
masses.

• Masses determined by measuring the increase in weight of the


absorbers.

• If the sample contain oxygen can be determined by calculation


Calculate the mass of each element

Calculate the mass percent of each element

Mass of an element in a sample = mass of product X number of atoms X atomic mass of the element
its molar mass

Mass % of element (H or C or O2) = 100 X mass of element


total sample mass
• See Example 2.16:

Ethanol contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Up on the combustion of 1.15 g


sample of ethanol gives 2,20 g of CO2 and 1.35 g of H2O.

Calculate the mass percent for carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen

C H O
1 Mass of element /g = mass of product x no of atoms x atomic mass of atom 2.20 x 1 C x 12 = 1.35 x 2 H x 1 = 1.15-0.15-0.60= 0.40
its atomic mass 44.0 0.60 18 0.15
2 Mass % = 100 x mass of element 100 x 0.60 =52.2% 100 x 0.15=13.0% 100 x 0.40=34.8%
total sample mass 1.15 1.15 1.15
• The empirical formula shows relative ratio of different atoms in a
compound

Example:

H2O composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen


• Calculate the mass of each
To element
determine • Calculate number of moles
empirical • Divide number of mole of each
element / smallest number
formula: • Write empirical formula
Ste C H O
ps
1 Mass / g 0.60 0.15 0.40
2 No of moles = Mass/ molar 0.60/12 = 0.15/ 1 = 0.40/ 16 =
mass 0.05 0.15 0.025
3 No of moles / smallest 0.05/0.025 = 0.15/ 0.025 0.025/ 0.025
number (0.025) 2 =6 =1
4 Empirical formula 2C 6H 1O
Chemical reactions
• Definition of chemical reaction:

A process in which one or more different pure substance are converted into one or

different pure substance.

• Chemical reactions involve change in :

 Substance

 Energy

• Neither matter nor energy is created or destroyed in a chemical reaction only

changed
• The chemical equation shows:

1. Chemicals that react (reactant)

2. Chemicals that they produce (products)

• In the chemical equation:

1. Reactant on the left hand side and products on the right hand.

2. Chemicals can be represented by their names or by their chemical symbols.

3. Some times physical condition of reactants and products might be written

( (s) for solid, (l) for liquids, (g) for gases, and (aq) for aqueous solution, and (ppt)
for precipitate.)
Heat/ catalyst
Reactants Products

Example:

Methane gas + oxygen gas Liquid water + carbon dioxide gas

CH4 (g) + 3 O2 (g) 2H2O (l) + CO2 (g)


Chemical equation balancing:
• CH4 + O2 > CO2 + H2O

• Balanced? No

• Reactants: C=1, H=4, O=2

• Products: C=1, H=2, O=3

• H and O are not equal


• Use coefficients to balance equations

CH4 + 2O2 > CO2 + 2H2O

• C=1, H=4, O=4 > C=1, H= 4, O=4

• Now the equation is balanced


Amount of reactants and products

aA+ bB cC+ dD

• To calculate the number of moles for unknown (eg: C), by knowing


number of moles of knowing substance (for example A)

Number of moles of C = Number of moles of AX c


a
• Calculate the number of moles of H2O resulted from the reaction of
4.5 moles of C2H6 with excess oxygen according to equation:

2C2H6 + 7 O2 4CO2 + 6 H2O

• Number of moles of H2O = Number of moles of C2H6 X 6/2

Number of moles of H2O = 4.5 X 6/2 = 13.5 moles of H2O


Calculate the mass of unknown

• If the unknown (C)

• Knowing mass of knowing substance (A)

Mass of C = mass of A X molar mass of C X c


molar mass of A a
• Example: calculate the mass of hydrogen that reacts with 169.3 g of

chlorine to form hydrogen chloride according the following equation

H2 + Cl =2HCl

Mass of hydrogen = 169.3 x 2 x 1 = 4.77 g


71.0 1
Solutions and Concentration

• A solution is homogeneous mixture of 2 or more substances.it


contains:

• Solutes is the substance that dissolved in a solvent.

• Solvent a liquid in which a substance is dissolved.

• When the solvent is water, the solution is said to be aqueous.

Molarity (M)= moles of solute

Volume of solution(Liter)

See example 2.29,30,31


• Another way to express the concentration is the weight percent

Weight percent = mass of solute


mass of solution
Example:
What is the molarity of a solution containing 0.32 moles of NaCl in 3.4 litres?

Molarity = number of moles


volume/L

Molarity of NaCl = 0.32 moles of NaCl = 0.094moles of NaCl


3.4 litres
Dilution of concentrated solutions

• Solution is usually diluted by adding more solvent to it

Note:

• The amount of solute present does not change

• Total volume and the concentration of solution do change

• To calculate the molarity after dilution we can use the following formula:

No. of Moles x volume before dilution = no. of moles after dilution x volume after dilution

M1 X V1 = M2 X V2
Example:

- How many milliliters of 18.0 M H2SO4 are required to prepare 1.00 L of a 0.900

Periodic Table of Elements

by

Dr. Hiba Mahgoub Ali


Mendeleev

• In 1869, Dmitri Ivanovitch Mendeléev created the first


accepted version of the periodic table.

• He grouped elements according to their atomic mass, and


as he did, he found that the families had similar chemical
properties.

• Blank spaces were left open to add the new elements he


predicted would occur.
First classification

• Metals is the larger group heat and electricity conductor


• Nonmetals are closely associated with the living system
• Metalloid heat and electricity conductor better than nonmetals but not as well
as metals
Second classification
• Groups or families (vertical column)
• Periods (horizontal rows)
Groups Periods
• Columns of elements are called • Each horizontal row of elements is
groups or families. called a period.

• Elements in each family have similar • The elements in a period are not alike
but not identical properties.
in properties.
• For example, lithium (Li), sodium
• In fact, the properties change greatly
(Na), potassium (K), and other
across even given row.
members of family IA are all soft,
white, shiny metals. • The first element in a period is

• All elements in a family have the always an extremely active solid. The
same number of valence electrons. last element in a period, is always an
inactive gas.
- Element can be grouped based on their last orbitals
Periodic Table Groups
• A group in the periodic table
 includes elements with the same number of outer electrons.
Have similar chemical properties (loss or gain the same
number of electrons in the reactions.

• The similarities are strongest in


Alkali metals in group1A
Halogens in group 7A
The important groups in periodic table

1. Alkaline metals :

• In column 1
• Is a group of elements that have 1 electron in their outermost
shell.

2. Representative elements:

• In the groups from group 1A to group 7

3. Alkaline earth metals:

• All have 2 electrons in their completely filled outer shell.


• Group III, IV, V, VI, and VII all have the number of outer shell electron
as the group number.
• Group VII elements are known as halogens.
4. Group VIII (noble gases or inert gases):

• Inert because these elements do not combine with themselves or


any other element under normal conditions

• Characterized by having completely filled with 8 electrons in their


outermost shells.

5. Transition metals:

• Occur between the alkaline earths group II and group III

6. Lanthanides (rare earth elements):

• Element from 58 to 71 - Ce (cerium) to Lu (lutetium)

7. Actinides:

• Elements 90 to 103 - Th (thorium) to Lr (lawrencium)


Periodic properties of elements
1) Atomic radius:

• The atomic radius for an atom is measured from the length


of a bond between this atom and other one divided by 2
Trend in Ionization Energy
P104
• The energy required to remove the valence
electron from an atomic specie.

Example 5.1
Trend in Electron Affinity
change in energy that occurs when electron is added to an
atom

• Example 5.2 P105


Trend in Electronegativity
P106

The ability of an atom to attract electrons in a


molecule
Compounds and chemical bonding
• Elements combine to form chemical compounds through the
formation of chemical bonds.

• Chemical bonds are forces that hold atoms together in


compounds.

The octet rule:

• Atoms usually gain, lose or share electrons until they have 8


electrons in the outer shell to reach the same number of
electrons of noble gases.
The noble gases have full valence electron shells
Lewis dot representation:
represents the valence electrons of an atom (outer most shell electrons)
are represented by dots.
• There are two main types of chemical bonds:

1- Ionic (electrostatic bond):

Sodium (metal) + cholrine gas (non metal) Sodium chloride


2- Covalent bond:
Non metal atoms share electrons

Water is very important due to:

1. Water constitutes 45%-73% of total human body

weight.

2. It is distributed in intracellular (55%) and extracellular

(45%) compartments.

3. It provides a continuous solvent phase between body

compartments so it has a role in (metabolsim-

absorption-digestion-transportation and excretion).

4. Regulates body temerature.

NOTE:
The bond that forms one water molecule is a covalent bond while water
molecules join each other by hydrogen bond . (one molecule of water can
share 4 hydrogen bonds)
07-10-2018 AASER ABDELAZIM BMS-2-221 6
(C) ELECTRONEGATIVITY OF WATER MOLECULES

Electronegativity describes the degree to which an atom attracts electrons in a chemical bond.
The difference in the electronegativity of two atoms determines their bond type.

Electronegativity difference Chemical bond


>1.7 An ionic bond
0.4-1.7 Polar covalent bond
< 0.4 Non-polar covalent bond

In water molecules, Oxygen atom has electronegativity =3.5 while hydrogen is 2 so the difference
is 1.5 this indicate that water is polar covalent molecule.
In water, an electron from each of the hydrogen atoms is drawn towards the oxygen atom. In this
case, the oxygen atom has a partial negative charge, whereas the hydrogen atoms have partial
positive charges.

WATER PROPERTIES

(1) Size

1. Water is a very small molecule (10-1 nm).

2. It moves fast and can squeeze into tiny gaps between other molecules.

3. Its size enable it to be the fastest absorbed molecule in the body.

NOTE: nm=10-9 meter

(3) Crystal structure

Due to polarity, water forms a crystal structure with metals that is less dense than liquid
water. Examples Calcium chloride (CaCl2·2H2O)- Zinc chloride (ZnCl2(H2O)4)- cupper sulphate
([Cu(H2O)4]SO4·H2O)

(4) Heat capacity

water absorbs and releases heat energy slowly, and can hold a great deal of heat energy. This helps
organisms maintain their body temperature in the safe range.
(5) Cohesion and
adhesion

 Polarity allows water to stick to itself (cohesion) and to any charged material (adhesion).
 Water can glue materials together.

(6) Buffer

Water can act as either an acid or a base, maintaining a stable pH in our bodies (will be
discussed later).

07-10-2018 AASER ABDELAZIM BMS-2-221 13
All alkalis are bases but not all bases are alkalis why ?

That is because all alkalis can produce (OH-) and by role (OH-) can accept (H+) to

form H2O while bases like NH3 (ammonia) only can accept (H+) to form NH4

(ammonium).
Example (1): Sodium hydroxide is an alkali and base

DISSOCIATION OF WATER

H2O H+ + OH-
Water dissociates to give equal amounts of (OH-) and(H+)

The equilibrium constant of water (K)

[H+] [OH-]
K =
[H2O]
NOTES
[H+] = molecular concentration of H+ ions
[OH-]= molar concentration of OH- ions
[H2O]= molar concentration of water molecules(un dissociated)
07-10-2018 AASER ABDELAZIM BMS-2-221 21
DISSOCIATION OF WATER
One liter of water = 1000g
One mole of water = 18 gm/L
Molar concentration of water = 55.5 M

[H+] [OH-]= 55.5M X 1.8x10-16


Ion product of water/dissociation constant of water =K w

Kw= [H+] [OH-]= 1 x10-14 M2


Water dissociates to give equal amounts of (OH-) and(H+)

[H+] =[OH-]= 1 x10-7 M


This means
Each molecule of water contains 10-7 mole of (OH-) and (H+)
Or each liter of water contains 10-7 gram of (H+) and 10-7 gram of (OH-)
07-10-2018 AASER ABDELAZIM BMS-2-221 22
pH(hydrogen ion concentration)
Definition: Is a term used to describe hydrogen ion concentration in a solution with the
measurement of acidity.

How term pH was obtained and used ?

Each litter of water contains 10-7 gm of free H and 10-7 gm of free OH.
According to the low of mass action the dissociation constant of water (Kw)
[H+] x [OH-] 10-7 x 10-7
Kw = = 1
= 10-14
[H2O]
Kw = ion product of water/ (dissociation constant of water)= 10-14

Notes:
1. If H increased to be 10-6, -5, -4, …….This means that OH should be lowered to
achieve the Kw of water.
2. And if the H decreased to be 10-8,-9,-10,….. This means also that OH should be
increased also to achieve the Kw of water.
07-10-2018 AASER ABDELAZIM BMS-2-221 23
pH (hydrogen ion concentration)
pH is used to express the concentration of both H and OH ions
[H+]= 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107…………………………. 1014

pH = -log10 [H+] = log 1/[H+]


So pH will be a number from 1 to 14

Note: The pH value of 7 for pure water at Similarly: pOH = -log10 [OH-]= log 1/[OH-]
25ºC is considered to be neutral, values For water: log10 [H+]+ log10[OH-]= 10-14
below 7 are considered acidic, and values pH + pOH=14
above 7 are considered basic.

Describes the derivation of pH as a measure of acidity (using pKa in biological and chemical
systems.
(B) Uses of Henderson- Hasselblach

1. Estimating pH of buffer systems.


2. Finding equilibrium pH in acid base reactions.
3. Calculation of isoelecteric points of proteins.
(C) Derivation of the equation

An acid (HA) will be dissociate as follow:

HA A- + H+
According to the low of mass action:

[H+] x [A-]
K =
[HA]
07-10-2018 27
[HA] X K [H+] x BMS-2-221
=AASER ABDELAZIM [A-]
By dividing both sides by conjugate base [A-]: we did not need the conjugate base

[HA] X K [H+] x [A-] [HA]


[H+] K X
[A-]
=

ֶ =
[A-]

By taking the log of both sides:

{K }
[HA] [HA]
Log [H+] = Log K + Log
Log [H+] = Log
[A-]
ֶ [A-]

By multiplying both sides by -1:


[HA]
- Log K - Log
ֶ - Log [H+] =
[A-]

ֶ - Log [H+] = pH

- Log K = pK

[HA] [A-]

OR pH =

pK + Log
[HA] 28
D. Limitations of the equation:
1. The equation assumed that the conc. of acid and its conjugate bas will remain the same
forever. And this occurs only at equilibrium state.
2. It neglected the following: dissociation of acid and hydrolysis of base and dissociation of
water in non equilibrated conditions.
3. The equation assumptions will fail when deals with:
 Strong acids or bases (need pK near from7).
 Dilute or very concentrated solutions (< 1 mM or > 1 M).
 Skewed acid/base ratios (> 100/1).
4. The equation does not take into effect the dilution factor of the acid and conjugate base in
water. If the proportion of acid to base is 1, then the pH of the solution will be different if the
amount of water changes from 1mL to 1L.

E. Use Henderson- hasselblach in estimating blood pH

A modified version of the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation can be used to relate the pH of blood
to constituents of the bicarbonate buffering system:

This is useful in arterial blood gas, but these usually state pCO2, that is, the partial pressure of carbon
dioxide, rather than H2CO3. However, these are related by the equation:

kH CO2 is approximately= 0.03 mmol/mmHg


Taken together, the following equation can be used to relate the pH of blood to the concentration of
bicarbonate and the partial pressure of carbon dioxide:

Example #1:
pKa for phenophthalein is 9.3 at room temp.
a) Calculate ratio of its anionic form to acid form at pH 8.2 and at pH
10.
b) Using these values, explain the colour change within this pH range.

Answer to part (a):


1) At pH = 8.2:
8.2 = 9.3 + log (base form / acid form) log (base form / acid form) = -1.1
ratio of base form to acid form = 0.0794 to 1 (call it 8 to 100)
2) At pH = 10.:
10 = 9.3 + log (base form / acid form) log (base form / acid form) = 0.7
ratio of base form to acid form = 5.01 to 1 (call it 500 to 100)

Answer to part (b):


1) Key fact:
it's the anionic (or base) form that is colored pink. The acid form is colorless. 2) At pH =
8.3:
the pink form is in the minority at this pH. For every 100 acid (colorless) forms, there are
only 8 base (pink) forms. 3) At pH = 10.:
the colorless form is in the minority. For every 100 acid (colorless) forms present, there are
now 500 base (pink) forms present. 4) This means:
From pH = 8.3 to pH = 10., there has been a 6250% increase in pink forms (from 8:100 to
500:100). While there might be a slight pink color (viewed against a white background) at
pH 8.3, the population of pink forms has greatly increased by pH = 10., to the point where
the pink color is now easily seen, even without the aid of a white background.

Example #2:
Aspirin has a pKa of 3.4. What is the ratio of A¯ to HA in:
(a) the blood (pH = 7.4)
(b) the stomach (pH = 1.4)

General comment about the solutions: You have to find the ratio between A¯ and HA so
the concentrations are not needed

Answer to part (a):


pH = pKa + log [A¯] / [HA]
7.4 = 3.4 + log [A¯]/ [HA]
7.4 - 3.4 = 4 = log [A¯]/ [HA]
104 = 10000 = [A¯]/ [HA]

Answer to part (b):


1.4 = 3.4 + log [A¯]/ [HA]
1.4 - 3.4 = - 2.0 = log [A¯]/ [HA]
10-2 = 0.01 = [A¯]/ [HA]

Example #3:
Calculate the pH of the solution that results from the addition of
0.040 moles of HNO3 to a buffer made by combining 0.500 L of 0.380 M
HC3H5O2 ( Ka = 1.30 x 10¯5) and 0.500 L of 0.380 M NaC3H5O2

Assume addition of the nitric acid has no effect on volume.


Answer:
1a) The nitric acid will reduce the amount of NaC3H5O2 (base):
(0.380 mol/L) (0.500 L) = 0.190 mol of NaC3H5O2
0.190 mol - 0.040 mol = 0.150 mol NaC3H5O2 remaining
1b) The reaction in 1a will increase the amount of HC3H5O2 (acid):
the increase will be by the same amount of the decrease
0.190 mol + 0.040 mol = 0.230 mol of HC3H5O2
2) Calculate the new pH:
pH = pKa + log [base] / [acid]
pH = 4.886 + log (0.150 / 0.230)
pH = 4.700

Note: the ratio of the moles is the same as the ratio of the molarities. You can
demonstrate that to yourself by calculating the new molarities in 0.500 L, them
adding the two solutions together, thereby cutting the molarities in half. Then, insert
them into the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation. You will get 4.700 for your answer.

Example #4:
You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 5.27. You
already have a solution that contains 10.0 mmol (millimoles) of acetic
acid. How many millimoles of sodium acetate will you need to add to
this solution? The pKa of acetic acid is 4.75.

Answer:
1) Substitute into the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation and solve:
5.27 = 4.75 + log (x/10)
log (x/10) = 0.52
x/10 = 3.3113
x = 33.1 millimoles of sodium acetate

Example #5:
What is the pH when 25 mL of 0.2 M of CH3COOH has been titrated
with 35 mL of 0.1 M NaOH?

Answer:
1) Determine moles of acetic acid and NaOH before mixing:
CH3COOH: (0.2mol/L) (0.025 L) = 0.005 mol
NaOH: (0.1 mol/L) (0.035 L) = 0.0035 mol
2) Determine moles of acetic acid and sodium acetate after mixing:
CH3COOH: 0.005mol - 0.0035mol = 0.00150 mol
CH3COONa: 0.0035 mol<.blockquote> The above comes from consideration of this reaction:
CH3COOH + NaOH <===> CH3COONa + H2O
3) Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation:
pH = 4.752 + log [(0.0035 mol/0.06L) / (0.0015 mol/0.06L)]
pH = 4.752 + log 2.333
pH = 4.752 + 0.368 = 5.120

Example #6:
If NaOH is added to 500mL of 2M acetic acid (pKa of acetic acid 4.8)
what volume of 2M NaOH should be added to the solution to make pH
equals 4.8?
Answer
We have 500 mL of 2M CH3COOH and as (M = mol/L) so actual moles of acetic equals 2M x 0.5L= 1M of acetic acid
We need how much? Of 2M NaOH to make pH=pKa
the equation of the reaction is CH3COOH+ NaOH ---------- CH3COO- + Na + H2O
We can neglect Na and water so the equation become
CH3COOH+ NaOH ---------- CH3COO- this means when you add one mole of NaOH you will lose one mole of CH3COOH
and gain CH3COO- (ratio become 1:1).
Use Henderson-Hasselbalch equation -- pH=pKa +log base/acid (CH3COO- / CH3COOH)
According to the eqaution If we have 1 mole of acetic added to 0.5 mole of NaoH we will lose 0.5 mole of acetic and gain 0.5
mole from acetate
We have 2M/L of NaoH and we need 0.5 mole only so we need how much?
2M----- L
0.5M---?
0.5/2 = 0.25 L = 250 mL so we need 250 mL of 2M NaOH

Buffer system of body fluids

(1) Protein buffer system


• In proteins, ionizable R groups (COOH groups of aspartate and glutamate, NH2 groups of lysine,
arginine and histidine) and N-terminale -NH2 groups of some amino acids are responsible for
buffering.
• Proteins, especially albumin, account for the %95 of the non-bicarbonate buffer value of the
plasma. Buffering effect of proteins is low in plasma
• Proteins are much more effective buffers in intracellular medium.
• The most important buffer groups of proteins in the physiological pH range are the imidazole
groups of histidine which has a pKa value of 6.5
• Each albumin molecule contains 16 histidines.

07-10-2018 AASER ABDELAZIM BMS-2-221 51


(2) Hemoglobin buffer system
• Hemoglobin (Hb) is a protein which carries O2 to tissues and CO2 from tissues to lungs and is
an effective buffer.
• The most important buffer groups of Hb are histidines. Each globin chain contains 9 histidine.
• %95 of CO2which is released from tissues to plasma is diffused into erythrocytes.
• In erythrocytes, carbonic anhydrase constitutes H2CO3 from CO2 and H2O and then HCO3-
and H+ are released by the ionization of H2CO3.
Carbonic anhydrase
CO2 + H2O ----------------------- H2CO3 + HCO3- + H+
• Released protons take part in the formation of salt bridges between globin chains of Hb, and
lead the change in the conformation of Hb molecule in tissue capillaries.
• The binding of proton and CO2 is conversely related to binding of oxygen.
• In tissue capillaries proton and CO2 binding decreases the oxygen binding capacity of Hb so
that oxygen is released by Hb.
• This effect of pH and CO2 concentration on the binding and release of oxygen by Hb is called
the Bohr Effect.
• Because of the accumulation of HCO3- formed by ionization of H2CO3 within erythrocytes, there
is a concentration gradient for HCO3- between plasma and erythrocytes.

07-10-2018 AASER ABDELAZIM BMS-2-221 52


• In that case, HCO3- ions rapidly move from erythrocytes to plasma, and Cl- ions move from
plasma to erythrocytes to provide electrochemical balance.
• This shift of Cl- is referred to as the chloride shift.
• All those phenomenons occur in capillaries of peripheral erythrocytes conversely change in
capillaries of lungs.
• When Hb reaches the lungs, the high oxygen concentration promotes binding of oxygen and
release of protons from broken salt bridges. Protons associate with HCO3- and H2CO3 forms.
H2O and CO2 form by the reaction catalyzed by carbonic anhydrase
Carbonic anhydrase
H2CO3 --------------------------CO2 + H2O
• This phenomenon is referred as Haldane Effect. H2O and CO2 are excreted to atmosphere
by respiration.

07-10-2018 AASER ABDELAZIM BMS-2-221 From metabolism54
(3) Phosphate buffer system
• Phosphate buffer system is most effective in intracellular medium, especially in kidneys.
• Phosphoric acid has 3 ionization steps:

• H3PO4 H2PO4- + H+ pK1= 1.9

• H2PO4- HPO42- + H + pK2= 6.8

• HPO42- PO43- + H+ pK3= 12.4


• Among the 3 ionization steps, H2PO4-/ HPO42- is a good buffer because of its pKa value (6,8)
which is close to physiological pH (7,4).
• HPO42- / H2PO4- = 4 at the pH (7,4).
• Phosphate buffer system is not effective in plasma, because phosphate ion concentrations are
low. However it is important in the excretion of acids in the urine.
• H+ secreted into the tubular lumen by the Na+–K+ exchanger react with HPO42- to form H2PO4-.
• Some organic phosphates (2,3 biphosphoglycerate (2,3 BPG) in erythrocytes) has also
buffering capacity.

Monosaccharides consists of single polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketone unit which cannot be


broken down to simpler substances on acid hydrolysis.
They are also called simple sugars.
Monosaccharides are further divided into:
i. Aldoses, i.e. Aldo sugars (all are from glyceraldehyde)
ii. Ketoses, i.e. Keto sugars (all are from dihydroxyacetone)
Glyceraldehyde Dihydroxyacetone
(1) Aldoses
Monosaccharide containing aldehyde group as the functional group are called Aldoses.
They are classified according to the number of carbon atoms present.
 Monosaccharide containing three to seven carbon atoms are called trioses, tetroses,
pentoses, hexoses and heptoses respectively.
(2) Ketoses
Monosaccharide containing ketone group as the functional group are called ketoses.
Examples: Xylulose, Ribulose, Fructose, etc.

(A) Genral view on LIPIDS
Wide varieties of naturally occurring compounds consisting fatty acids

Not soluble in water- soluble in fat solvents (benzene-chloroform).

LIPIDS Many compounds are associated with lipids (vitamins A,D,E andK)
and carotenes, ketone bodies, and cholesterol

Lipids in diet may be visible (butter-oils-ghee) or invisible (egg-fish-


meat-nuts).

Lipids functions:

A main source of energy (each gram gives 9 Kcal).


Easily stored inside the body so it is a fast source for energy.
Enter in the structure of cell membrane.
Transport form of energetic compounds.
Fixative for internal organs (kidneys-intestines-heart).
