Fri-Day 1

AP Chem - we began the new unit on Acids and Bases; in this unit, we expand our definition of acids and bases; Bronsted came up with a convenient system for acids and bases focused on their behavior in aqueous solutions. An acid is an H+ donor, a base is an H+ acceptor.
With this defnition, we see that acid base neutralization reactions occur in conjugate pairs. An acid becomes its conjugate base, and a base becomes its conjugate acid.
We saw that the only difference ever between two conjugates is a single H+; the acid has one more H+ than does the base.

Bio - took the unit exam on regulation via the immune system.
