11/15 notes Flashcards
oxidation is
loss of electrons from a substance
reduction is
gain of electrons from a substance
what does redox reactin involve
transfer of electrons
-recution and oxidization always go together
when atom gets oxidized =
reducing agent
when atoms get reduced =
oxidizing agent
anything that picks up oxygen is getting ____-
oxidized
oxygen is more elctronegtive than chlorine true/false
true
draw phase diagram and label points
normal melting point is
solid <-> liquid
critical point
cant distinguish gas from liquid
normal boiling point
liquid <-> gas
triple point
all three phases existing at equilibrium
difference between geeral phase diagram and water phase diagram is
the slope of the line conncecting solid and liquid states in water diagram is negative rather than positive. Solid state is less dense than liquid state for water (ie ice floats)
