28. (18 pts. total) SHORT ANSWERS! A. (4 pts.) What is a buffer? Give an example of the most important buffer system in our body. A buffer solution is a solution that resists drastic changes in ph caused by the addition of acid or base. Buffers are either acidic buffers or basic buffers. Acidic buffers comprise of a weak acid and its salt. Acetic acid/sodium acetate is an example of an acidic buffer. Basic buffers are comprised of a weak base and its salt. Aqueous ammonia (ammonium hydroxide)/ammonium chloride is an example of a basic buffer. The most important buffer in the human body is carbonic acid/sodium bicarbonate buffer. B. (4 pts.) What are the four main postulates of the kinetic Molecular Theory of gases? 1. Gases consist of large numbers of molecules that are in continuous, random motion. 2. The volume of all molecules of the gas is negligible compared to the total volume in which the gas is contained. 3. Attractive and repulsive forces between gas molecules are negligible. 4. Energy can be transferred between molecules during collisions, but the average kinetic energy of the molecules does NOT change with time as long as the temperature remains constant. Moreover, an increase in temperature results in an increase in the speed that the particles move. C. (4 pts.) What is a neutralization reaction? Give an example using an equation. In a neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with a base in stoichiometrically equivalent amounts to give salt and water as the products. NaOH + HCl NaCl + H 2 O An antacid (base) works by neutralizing acid and coating the stomach. 8
D. (6 pts.) What is high blood pressure? How is blood pressure recorded? What are the blood pressure measurements at different stages of hypertension? What must one do to adopt a healthy lifestyle in each of these stages of blood pressure? High blood pressure or hypertension is when the blood exerts above normal pressure on the walls of blood vessels. Blood pressure is recorded using a sphygmomanometer. The systolic pressure is read when the heart muscles contract and blood is pushed into the arteries causing a temporary increase in blood pressure. This reading corresponds to the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats. The diastolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries between heart beats. At this stage, the heart muscle is resting between beats and refilling with blood. There are three different stages of hypertension. Pre-hypertension is when the systolic pressure is between 120-139 mm Hg and diastolic pressure is between 80-89. One should adopt a healthy lifestyle by exercising and eating right. Stage 1 hypertension is indicated by a systolic pressure reading between 140-159 mm Hg and diastolic pressure reading between 90-99 mm Hg. Exercise, a healthy diet, plus one medication is usually recommended. Stage 2 hypertension is indicated by a systolic pressure reading above 160 mm Hg and diastolic pressure reading above 100 mm Hg. Exercise, a healthy diet, plus more than one medication is usually recommended. 9
