5.4 study guide Flashcards
Cohesion
bonding between h2o molecules
adhesion
bonding between H20 and other substances
solvent
dissolve solutes and create colutions
specific heat
the amount of energy it takes to heat up 1 g of a substance by 1c
heat of vaporization
the temperature that makes water vaporize
concentration
how dense molecules are
pH
measures [H30+] on a logarithmic scale
pOH
similar to pH but with [OH-]
hydroxide ion
an ion that attracts water
hydronium ion
an ion that repels water
acid
breaks down molecules
base
the starting unit
5 properties of water
heat of vaporization, dissolve polar molecules, cohesive and adhesive, the generation of pH
Decide whether a solution is an acid, base, or neutral
you can do this by looking at the pH and pOH levels
