AB OBJECTIVESAfter  studying  this  chapter,  you  should  be  able  to:Describe  the  properties  of  water  that  account  for  its  surface  tension,  viscosity,  liquid  state  at  ambient  temperature,  and  solvent  power.Use  structural  formulas  to  represent  several  organic  compounds  that  can  serve  as  hydrogen  bond  donors  or  acceptors.Explain  the  role  played  by  entropy  in  the  orientation,  in  an  aqueous  environment,  of  the  polar  and  nonpolar  regions  of  macromolecules.Indicate  the  quantitative  contributions  of  salt  bridges,  hydrophobic  interactions,  and  van  der  Waals  forces  to  the  stability  of  macromolecules.Explain  the  relationship  of  pH  to  acidity,  alkalinity,  and  the  quantitative  determinants  that  characterize  weak  and  strong  acids.Calculate  the  shift  in  pH  that  accompanies  the  addition  of  a  given  quantity  of  acid  or  base  to  the  pH  of  a  buffered  solution.Describe  what  buffers  do,  how  they  do  it,  and  the  conditions  under  which  a  buffer  is  most  effective  under  physiologic  or  other  conditions.Illustrate  how  the  Henderson-Hasselbalch  equation  can  be  used  to  calculate  the  net  charge  on  a  polyelectrolyte  at  a  given  pH.
