5.4 Flashcards
adhesion
bonding of water molecules to other molecules
cohesion
bonding of water molecules to other water molecules
specific heat
the amount of energy it takes to heat up 1 g of a solution by 1 degrees C
heat of vaporization
the amount of energy it takes for 1 g of water to turn into water vapor
what’s the solvent of life
water
is ice less dense than liquid water?
yes, ice structure has more gaps in the formation of molecules
pH
potential hydrogen
measures H3O on a logarithmic scale
what’s the ratio of H3O to OH in acidic solutions
[H3O+] > [-OH]
what’s the ratio of H3O to OH in neutral solutions
[H3O+] = [-OH]
what’s the ratio of H3O to OH in basic solutions
[H3O+] < [-OH]
what’s the rest of the table when given a pH of 5?
H30: 10 -5
pOH: 9
OH: 10 -9
is a solution with a pH of 4 acidic, neutral, or basic
acidic
how much lower/higher is the H3O concentration of a pH of 5 compared to 7?
10^2 higher
does water have a high or low specific heat
high, it resists changes in temp
how are solutions created
solvents dissolve solutes
