How pH Affects Cells and Digestion

Description

Acids, bases, and pH help control how cells and body systems work. In biology, pH can strongly affect enzymes, proteins, and nucleic acids. Enzymes work best within a certain pH range, and pH changes can alter their structure or denature them, which changes how they function.

Acids release hydrog...

酸是一类在水溶液中可解离为氢离子和相应阴离子的化合物。由于 H+  实际上是一个单独的质子,酸也被称为质子供体。

当酸溶解时,会增加溶液中氢离子的浓度,从而降低 pH 值。

例如,在胃中,盐酸会解离为质子和氯离子,从而维持消化所必需的酸性 pH 环境。

碱是能够增加溶液中氢氧根离子浓度的物质。当碱溶解时,会降低溶液中氢离子的浓度,从而提高 pH 值。

常见的碱,如氢氧化钠,在水溶液中会解离为氢氧根离子和相应的阳离子。

非氢氧化物碱(如氨)可以从水中接受质子,生成铵离子和氢氧根离子。

当酸和碱混合时,它们会发生中和反应,生成盐和水。例如,抗酸药是一种碱,如氢氧化镁,可与胃酸反应生成氯...
