ACID - BASE PHYSIOLOGYACID - BASE PHYSIOLOGYDEFINITIONSDEFINITIONS
• ACID - can donate a hydrogen ion• BASE – can accept a hydrogen ion• STRONG ACID – completely or almost completely
dissociates into a hydrogen ion and its conjugate base in aqueous solution
• WEAK ACID – only slightly dissociated in aqueous solution
• Strong acids usually have weak conjugate bases; weak acids usually have strong conjugate bases
• BUFFER – mixture of substances in aqueous solution. Usually a weak acid and its conjugate base, that can resist changes in hydrogen ion concentration when strong acids or bases are added.
