Document Summary

* solution - liquid made of two or more substances. * changes or polarity allow them to stick to water molecules that are dissolving in water. * water comes in three forms: liquid, solid, ice. * ice less than liquid water which causes it to float. * water can break up into two ions => oh- and h+ * acid - compound that release h+ ions in solution. * base - compound that accept h+ ions in solution. * 0-7 = acidic; 8-14 = basic; neutral with ph of 7 = neither basic nor acidic. * acidic solution has a high concentration of protons. * ph scale unit equals 10 fold changes. Ex: ph 6 has 10x more protons. * cells are kept close to ph 7 by buffers. Accept h+ ions when they are in excess. Donate h+ ions when they are depleted. => if ph is too high, other chemicals will donate some.
