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
The volume of a cube that is 10 cm on each edge
Liter
Concentration expressed as moles of substance per kilogram of solvent
Molality (m)
The number of moles of a substance per liter or solution
Molarity (M)
Avogadro’s number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions, etc)
Mole
The sum of atomic masses of the atoms in the atoms in the molecule
Molecular mass
The y-axis of the graph
Ordinate
Mass of substance over mass of sample times 10^6
Parts per million (ppm)
Mass of substance over mass of sample times 10^9
Parts per billion (ppb)
A reagent that is pure enough and stable enough to be used directly after weighing. The entire mass is considered to be pure reagent
Primary standard
The species created in a chemical reaction; appears on the right side of the chemical equation
Product
The species consumed in a chemical reaction; appears on the left side of the chemical equation
Reactant
A high-purity chemical generally suitable for use in quantitative analysis and meeting purity requirements set by organizations such as the American Chemical Society
Reagent grade chemical
International system of units based on the meter, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, candela, mole, radian, and steradian
SI units
A minor species in a solution
Solute
A major species in a solution
Solvent
Process of determining the concentration of a reagent by reaction with a known quantity of a second reagent
Standardization
A solution whose composition is known by virtue of the way that it was made from a reagent of known purity or by virtue of its reaction with a known quantity or a standard reagent
Standard solution
The calculation of quantities of substances involved in a chemical reaction
Stiochiometry
Substance added to the analyte in a titration
Titrant
A procedure in which one substance (titrant) is carefully added to another (analyte) until complete reaction has occurred. The quantity of titrant required for complete reaction tells how much analyte is present
Titration
Difference between the observed end point and the true equivalence point in a titration
Titration error
Chemical analysis of very low levels of analyte, typically ppm and lower
Trace analysis
(Volume of solute/volume of solution) x 100
Volume percent
A technique in which the volume of material needed to react with the analyte is measured
Volumetric analysis
(Mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100
Weight percent
