Week 5 Quiz

1. How is Avogadro’s Number related to The Mole Concept?

Well,  if I understand this...  The number is amount of atoms, molecules or ions that when out together allow them all to bond correctly in to a more whole bond???   I guess int that with the bonding of the substance,  it will be a sturdy and solid bong and not be volatile?

2. Why does our body need to use “buffers… to maintain a constant pH”?

The buffers allow the body to have the time to adjust.  It gives it time to asses the pH balance of the body and make changes accordingly.  At least that i s my basic understanding.

3. Why might alkaline foods be “better” for you than acidic foods?

I would be harder for the body to rid itself of an acidic balance than to recover from an over alkaline balance.  Plus,  the excessive acidic balance can do damage to the body or organs as well as cause inflammation in the body.  All of these factors create a more hostile internal environment in the body, versus excess alkaline.
