Use definitions to correctly identify and predict acids, bases, and conjugate acid-base pairs in acid-base reactions               Problem 1   Amino acids are the building blocks of the proteins in your body. As the name implies amino acids contain both an acidic functional group (carboxylic acid) and a basic […]

Acids and bases can be found in many places including the kitchen. Acids like lemon juice can make foods taste sour. Basic or alkaline foods such as peas or almonds may have more of a bland taste.  As we’ve learned this week, an acid donates a proton and a base will accept a proton.   […]

Find 5 foods that you eat regularly and determine the kilocalorie content according to the number of servings that you eat at a time.   Use this information to calculate the calories and joules.   How do food scientists determine the number of kilocalories that are reported on foods?   How does your body use […]

Compare (similarities) and contrast (differences) ionic and covalent bonding.   Make sure to discuss valence electrons and electronegativity of the atoms involved.   Give an example of a molecule formed with each type of bonding. In your example, give the chemical formula and give the IUPAC name of each molecule.   Finally, list 1 additional […]

Offering informed consent and accurately educating a patient/ or their caregivers about medication is an essential competency for all prescribers to master. There are many created consent forms available for the prescriber to offer the patient and their family, however, the prescriber should always offer a verbal explanation as well.  The forms and pamphlets can […]
