Q

Cohesion

A

Is waters attraction to water (sticking together) hydrogen bonds hold water molecules together helps transport of water against gravity in plants

16
Q

Heat of vaporization

A

The heat a liquid must absorb for 1g to be converted to gas

17
Q

Evaporative cooling

A

As the liquid evaporates, the remaining surface cools

18
Q

Sweat, panting

A

Evaporative cooling of water helps organism stabilize their temperature

19
Q

Ice is in a crystal structure

A

As water freezes the hydrogen bonds lock into place

20
Q

Water is most dense at

A

4C Celsius

21
Q

Solution

A

A homogenous mixture of substances in a liquid

22
Q

Solvent

A

The dissolving agent of a solution

23
Q

Solute

A

The substance that is dissolved

24
Q

Aqueous solution

A

A solution in which water is the solvent

25
Hydrophilic
One that has an affinity for water polar bonds charges
26
Hydrophobic
One that does not have an affinity for water Oil have relatively non-polar bonds Hydrophobic molecules make up cell membranes
27
Molecular mass
Is the sum of all masses of all atoms in a molecule/ measured in 1 mole = 6.02 x 10^23 molecules
28
Acid
Any substances that increases the H+ concentration of a solution
29
Base
Is any substance that reduces the H- concentration of a solution
30
Buffers
Are substances that minimize changes in concentrations of H+ and OH- in a solution ( helps prevent change )
