•The cell has low amounts of H+, around 10-7 M, =>pH=7 same as 0,0001 mM. (compare with [Na+]=140 mM in the cell)

Introduction to pH

pH describes the concentration of H+ or H3O+ in water solution.

The lower the pH, the greater the hydronium ion concentration.

Introduction to pH

pH = -Log[H+]

It is easier to think in log of concentrations but it takes practice!!

Introduction to pH

Example : If the pH of a solution is 3.4, what is the hydronium ion concentration?

[H3O+] = 10-pH = 10-3.4 = 0.000398 M=3.98x10-4 M

• Neutral water has a tendency to ionizeH2O <-> H+ + OH-

• The free proton is associated with a water molecule to form the hydronium ion

H3O+

• High ionic mobility due to proton jumping

Introduction to pH

Where does the H+ come from?

Proton Jumping

• Hydronium ion migration; hops by switching partners at 1012 per second

Relationship between pH and [H+] / [OH-] concentration

2. Acids and bases

• Acidic if [H+] > 10-7 M• Basic if [H+] < 10-7 M

H2O <-> H+ + OH-

• Acid is a substance that can donate a proton.• Base is a substance that can accept a proton.• Conjugate acid base pair

– The stronger acids are those that loose their hydrogen ions more easily than other acids.

– Similarly, the stronger bases are those that hold onto hydrogen ions more strongly than other bases.

2. Acids and bases Relative strength of acids and bases

A solution of strong acids and bases (ex HCl och KOH)

H+ + Cl- + K+ + OH- H2O + K+ + Cl-

If we take same amount of HCl as KOH it becomes neutral = neutralisation,

otherwise it becomes acidic or basic.

A weak acid is not completely proteolysed Equilibrium to the left.

around 1% of HAc will react.

The relative stability of the acid form as compared to its conjugated base formDetermines if it is a weak or a strong acid.

If the acid form is stable = the proton is not lost easily = weak acid(ex HAc)

If the base form is stable = the proton will easily be lost = strong acid (ex HCl)

HAc + H2O Ac- + H3O+

Proteolysis of a weak acid

Weak acids/bases2. Acids and bases

Determine pH in a solution

Strong acid, equilibrium shifted to the right,completely shifted as for HCl

Weak acid, at equilibrium there is still acid left ex Acetic acid HAc where 1% of HAc will react.

Easy!

Difficult!

How can we calculate pH in a solution of a weak acid?

• Law of mass action (massverkans lag): Therate of a chemical reaction is proportional to theconcentrations of the reacting substances.

and

• experimental values of Ka (acid base constant) is used to determine pH in a solution of a weak acid.

Observation

If you add 0.01 ml of 1M HCl to 1000 ml of water pH 7, the pH of the water drops from 7 to 5!!

i.e 100 fold increase in H+ concentration: Log = 2 change.

Problem:Biological properties change with small changes in pH, usually less than 1 pH unit.

How does a system prevent fluctuations in pH?

Buffer solutionsA buffer consists of corresponding pairs of weak acids and weak bases

HA H+ + A-

Weak acid proton conjugated base

A buffer solution is keeping the pH relatively constant when strong acid or base is added

3. Buffer

A buffer keeps the pH constant during dilution with water.

• The buffer capacity is largest

at the pKa.

3. Buffer

By definition the pK is the pH where [HA] = [A-] : 50% dissociated

pKa of Tris buffer is 8.08 the buffering range is 7.1 - 9.1

By definition the pK is the pH where [HA] = [A-] : 50% dissociated

1) Choose a buffer that can buffer at the pH interval.

Check pKa for conj. acid, should be close to desired pH.

Acetat buffer, can buffer at pH=4,76 ± 1,5

HAc + H2O Ac- + H3O+

2) The higher conc. of ([HAc] + [Ac-]), the better buffering capacity.

How to make a buffer solution

1) Mix a weak acid with its corresponding weak base2) Mix weak acid with a strong base3) Mix weak base with stron acid

4) Or, first mix buffer as solid add water to desired volumeand then adjust the pH by adding acid or base to the pH you want

Titration is a common laboratory method to determine the unknown concentration of an identified analyte.

Take a weak acid HAc, add or titrate NaOH while monitoring pH (x-axis) amount NaOH added (y-axis).

4. Titration

4. Titration

Often characteristic for an acid -good analytical method.

Ex. 20 ml HCl is titrated with 16 ml of 0.1 M NaOH to the equivalenspoint. What is the concentration of HCl?

An acid with one proteolytic step is titrated against a strong base. At the equivalenspoint , the n(acid) in the solution is the same as the amount (n) of base added.How much base do we have? We use n=cv => 0.1M x 0.016 L = 1.6 x 10-3 mol = 0.0016 molAt the equivalenspoint the n(acid) = n(base) => Which means that n(acid)=0.0016 mol. What is the concentration of acid? c = n/v = 0.0016 mol / 0.02 L = 0.08 M.

Answer: The concentration of theHCl solution is 80 mM.

H2CO3 + H2O HCO3- + H3O+

Conj. Acid conj.. base

Dihydrogen carbonate (kolsyra) (H2CO3) can exist in waterbut will quickly become CO2 bubbles.

The acid in bicarbonate buffer consists of H2CO3 and CO2(d) together.

CO2(d) + 2H2O H2CO3 + H2O HCO3- + H3O+

5. Physiologic pH regulation Bicarbonate buffer

The concentration of dissolved CO2, is proportional to the partial pressure for CO2 (pCO2).

5. Physiologic pH regulation Bicarbonate buffer

Our body uses 3 different systems to keep the pH constant:

1) Buffers (the first minutes)Phosphatbuffert (in the cell)Proteiner (albumin,Hemoglobin) in the cellCarbonate buffert (blood, plasma)

2) Regulate breathing Acids are formed during metabolism. In tissues CO2 forms - transported to lungs as HCO3

-. CO2 can be released in lungs. If problems with lungs: can get acidosis.

1) Long term regulation via kidneys

Gas transport

O2 is transported from the lung to the tissues and CO2 formed in tissues is transported back to the lung. The transport of these gases is coupled to pH:

Bohr effekt:An increase of CO2 and a decrease in pH results in

reduced affinity of Hb for O2.

O2 affinity decrease andis released to tissuesShift right

Lungs: High pH, Low CO2 and O2

affinity increases, Shift left

1) Long term regulation via kidneys

5. Physiologic pH regulation

During normal metabolism of food – we produce acids - excreted via urine. The kidneys excrete/retain H+ and HCO3

-. If you are acidotic, your kidneyswill try to excrete H+ and retain HCO3

1. Introduction to pH

2. Acid base concept -calculations

3. Buffert -calculations

4. Titration

5. Physiologic pH regulation -calculations

6. Measure pH?

pH paper: acid base form have different light absorbance

pH meter:

Measures the voltage produced by the solution, compares it with the voltage of a known standard solution, and uses the difference in voltage to calculate the pH.

In vivo: measure in plasma or urine. Difficult to measure inside the cell, microelektrodes.
