Document Summary

Proton [hydrogen ion h+] concentration is the basis of the ph scale. Ph expresses proton concentration in a solution. Measure of hydrogen ions in a solution. Some atoms readily give up their hydrogen ions. All living things use buffers to control the concentration of hydrogen atoms. Human blood ph is 7. 4 because our body is buffers to make sure it stays there so we aren"t compromised physiologically. The ph of pure water is 7. Acids have a ph less than 7. Bases have a ph greater than 7. The lemon juice has a greater hydrogen ion concentration. When mixed with water some of the ions broke away and made the water more acidic. In acid-base reactions, a proton donor (acid) transfers a proton to a proton receptor (base) When ice forms the hydrogen bonds between molecules change their length and become longer-making the ice less dense than the water which has closer hydrogen bonds.
