Document Summary
Water is often referred to as the universal solvent . 60% of the human body is water. Transports ions, nutrients, and waste into and out of cells. Solvent for biochemical reactions in cells and digestive tract. Reactant or product in some biochemical processes. Two common ways of expressing concentration of ions in solution. Molarity emphasizes the number of individual ions - covered earlier in chapter. One equivalent of an ion = (molar mass of ion (g) / number of charges on ion) Eq / l = (eq / mol ion) * (mol ion / l) The two most important cations in the body fluids are na+ and k+ Danger to th ebody occurs when na+ and k+ both inbloods and in cells becomes to high or low. The two most important anions in the body fluids are cl- and hco3. Form in which most waste co2 is removed from the body.
