  • Filtration
  • Distillation
31
Q

2D Electrophoresis

A

proteins separated in two steps:

1) based on the fact that molecules of these proteins have different charges depending on their enviro.
2) fractions from the first step are separated by the molecules size

32
Q

Filtration

A

-Separates particles suspended in liquid

important for water

33
Q

Volatilities

A

how easily liquids are converted to gas

34
Q

Distillation

A
  • most widely used
  • desalinates water
  • converts fresh water into distilled water
35
Q

Ion exchange

A

remove all dissolved ions from water

36
Q

Intensive properties

A

Characterize matter independent of the quantity of the material present

37
Q

Extensive properties

A

varies with the quantity of the substance present

38
Q

2 categories of properties

A

Physical & chemical

39
Q

Physical properties

A

properties of a pure substance can be observed or measured w.o changing the substance into another substance

40
Q

Density

A

ratio of the mass of an object to its volume

d=m/v

41
Q

chemical reactivity includes

A

rates of reaction, identity of other substances with which it reacts, identity of the products formed
^^^ define the chemical properties of a substance

42
Q

chemical property

A

property of a substance that can be observed only by reacting it to form another substance

43
Q

3 states of matter

A

solid
liquid
gas

44
Q

solid

A

has a definite volume and shape

45
Q

liquid

A

definite volume, no shape

46
Q

a general explanation of a widely observed phenomenon that has been extensively tested and validated

50
Q

scientific method

A

approach to acquire knowledge based on observation of phenomena, development of testable hypothesis, and additional experiment that test the validity of the hypothesis

51
Q

56
Q

Unit factor method (aka dimensional analysis)

A

used to convert a value from one unit system to another

-uses conversion factors

57
Q

Conversion factors

A

fractions in which the numerators and denominators have different units but represent equivalent quantities

58
Q

Significant figures

A
  • all the certain digits measured in a measured value plus one estimated digit
  • the greater the # of significant figures the greater the certainty about its value
59
Q

Rules about zeros and decimals

A

1) 0’s at the beginning of a value are not significant
2) 0s at the end are
3) 0s at the end w.o a decimal may or may not be
4) 0s between non 0 digits always are

60
Q

Precision

A

indicates how well results of repeated measures or analyses agree w. each other

61
Q

Accuracy

A

how close results are to the true value of a quantity

62
Q

Standard deviation

A

measure of amt of variance or dispersion in a set of values

63
Q

Confidence interval

A

range of values has a specified probability of containing the true value of measurement
[-range of values around a calculated mean]

64
Q

F & C scales differ how

A

1) diff zero points

2) size of temp change corresponding to 1 degree

65
Q

to convert f to c

A

C=5/9 (F-32)

66
