Chapter 1 Flashcards
The x-axis of the graph
Abscissa
Adjective describing a substance from which all water has been removed
Anhydrous
The number of grams containing Avogadro’s number of atoms
Atomic mass
One in which an excess of standard reagent is added to react with analyte. Then the excess reagent is titrated with a second reagent or with a standard solution of analyte
Back titration
One in which a solution containing all reagents except analyte is titrated. The volume of titrant needed should be subtracted from the volume needed to titrate unknown
Blank titration
States how much solute do a container in a given volume or mass of solution or solvent
Concentration
The mass per unit volume
Density
One in which the analyte is treated with titrated and the volume of titrated required for complete reaction is measured
Direct titration
A substance that dissolves into ions in solution
Electrolyte
Point in a titration at which there is a sudden change in a physical property, such as indicator color, pH, conductivity, or absorbance. Used as a measure of the equivalence point
End point
Point in a titration at which the quantity of titrant is exactly sufficient for stoichiometric reaction with the analyte
Equivalence point
A description of how the solution was made by dissolving F moles per liter
Formal concentration
The sum of atomic masses of atoms in the formula
Formula mass
Chemical analysis based on weighing a final project
Gravimetric analysis
A titration in which the mass of titrant is measured, instead of the volume. Titrant concentration is conveniently expressed as mol reagent/kg titrant solution; can be more accurate and precise than volumetric titrations
Gravimetric titration
A compound having a physical property (usually color) that changes abruptly near the equivalence point of a chemical reaction
Indicator
