CH 7 Flashcards
acid alaki neutralization reactions
when an acid is mixed with an aliki in equal proportions to neutralize each other and form water
acids
substances that have a PH below 7.0 taste sour, and then litmus paper from blue to red
air
the gaseous mixture that makes up the earths atmosphere. it is odorless colorless and generally consists of about 1 part oxygen and 4 parts nitrogen by volume
alkalis
also known as bases compounds that react with acids to form salts have a PH above 7 taste bitter and turn litmus paper from Red to blue
acid mantle
protective barrier of lipids and secretions in the surface of the skin
anion
an ion with a negative charge
antioxidants
used to stabilize skin care products by preventing oxidation that would otherwise cause a product to turn rancid and decompose
atoms
smallest chemical components of an element that still retains the properties of that element
cation
ion with a positive electrical charge
chemical change
change in the chemical properties of a substance that is the result of a chemical reaction in which a new substance or substances are formed that have properties different from the original
chemical compounds
combinations of two or more atoms of different elements united chemically with a fixed chemical composition definite proportions and distinct properties
chemical properties
those characteristics that can only be determined by a chemical reaction and a chemical change in the identity of the substance
chemistry
science that deals with the composition, structures and properties of matter and how matter changes under different conditions
combustion
rapid oxidation of any substance accompanied by the production of heat and light
compound molecules
also known as compounds a chemical combustion of two or more atoms of different elements in fixed proportions
element
the simplest form of matter cannot be broken down into a simpler substance without loss of identity
elemental molecules
molecule containing two or more atoms of the same element in fixed proportions
emulsions
an unstable physical mixture of two or more immiscible substances that normally will not stay blended
free radicals
unstable molecules that cause inflammation disease and biochemical aging in the body especially wrinkling and sagging of the skin
gases
matter without a definite shape or size. no fixed volume or shape takes the shape of its container
hydrogen
colorless, odorless, tasteless gas, lightest element known
hydrogen peroxide
chemical compound of hydrogen and oxygen a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor and slightly acid taste
hydrophilic
easily absorbs moisture, capable of combining with or attracting water
hydroxide
an anion with one oxygen and one hydrogen atom
immiscible
liquids that are not capable of being mixed together to form stable solutions
inorganic chemistry
the study of substances that do not contain the element carbon but may contain the element hydrogen
ion
an atom or molecule that carries an electrical charge
ionization
the seperation of an atom or molecule into positive or negative ions
lipophilic
having an affinity for it an attraction to fat and oils
liquids
matter that has volume no definite shape and will take shape of its container such as water
logarithmic scale
a method of displaying data in multiples of 10
matter
any substance that occupies space and has mass
miscible
capable of being mixed, liquids that are mutually soluble meaning that they can be mixed together to form stable solutions
molecule
a chemical combination of two or more atoms
nitrogen
a colorless gaseous element that makes up about four fifths of the air in our atmosphere and is found chiefly in ammonia and nitrates
oil in water emulsion
oil droplets dispersed in a water with the aid of an emulsifying agent
organic chemistry
study of substances that contain carbon
oxidation
either the addition of oxygen or the loss of hydrogen. a chemical reaction that combines a substance with oxygen to produce an oxide
oxidation- reduction
also knows as redox. chemical reaction in which the oxidizing agent is reduced and the reducing agent is oxidized
oxidize
to combine or cause a substance to combine with oxygen
oxygen
the most abundant element on earth
pH
the abbreviation used to potential hydrogen
pH scale
a measure of the acidity and alkalinity of a substance. 0-14
physical change
chance in the form or physical properties of a substance without a chemical reaction or the formation of a new substances
physical mixtures
combination of two or more substances united physically not chemically without a fixed composition and in any proportions
physical properties
characteristics that can be determined without a chemical reaction. and that do not cause a chemical change in the substance
redox reactions
chemical reaction in which the oxidizing agent is reduced and the reducing agent is oxidized
reduction
the process through which oxygen is subtracted from it hydrogen is added to a substance through chemical reaction
solids
a state of matter that is rigid with a definite size and shape such as ice
solute
a substance that dissolves to form a solution
solutions
a uniform mixture of two or more mutually miscible substances
solvent
a substance that dissolves another substance to form a solution
states of matter
the three different physical forms of matter solid liquid and gas
surfactants
acronym for surface active agent: reduce surface tension between the skin and the product to increase product spreadability. allow oil and water to mix
suspensions
unstable mixtures of two or more immiscible substances
water
most abundant of all substances comprising about 75 percent of the earths surface and about 65 percent of the human body
water in oil
droplets of water dispersed in oil
