34
Organic Chemistry
contains the element "carbon"
35
Inorganic Chemistry
Does not contain the element "carbon"
36
Solutions
ions gradually become dispersed in the water and break away (ex - crystals of table salt in water)
37
Solute
the substance that is dissolved (ex - sugar)
38
Solvent
the substance in which the solute dissolves in (ex - H2O)
39
Suspension
mixture of water and nondissolved material (ex - human blood)
40
True or False: Some atoms have a stronger attraction for electrons that do other atoms
True
41
Van der Waals forces
slight attraction that develops between oppositely charged regions of nearby molecules
42
What is water's polarity?
Neutral
43
oxygen's end of a water molecule has a slight ____ charge
negative
44
Hydrogen's end of the water molecule has a slight _____ charge
positive
45
Hydrogen Bond
Attraction between a hydrogen atom on one water molecule and the oxygen atom on another
46
True or False: Hydrogen bonds are not as strong as covalent or ionic bonds
True
47
Cohesion
attraction between molecules of the same substance
48
Cohesion can cause .....
water molecules to be drawn together (ex. water beads) and produce surface tension (ex. insects walk on water)
49
Adhesion
attraction between molecules of different substances
50
Examples of adhesion
- water in a graduated cylinder (meniscus) - causes water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity
51
Capillary Action
water rising against the force of gravity
52
Specific Heat Capacity
water's heat capacity, the amount of heat energy required to increase its temperature, is relatively high
53
H+
hydrogen ion
54
OH-
hydroxide ion
55
pH
the concentration of H+ ions in solution
56
Acids
has more H+ than pure water ,below 7, stronger closer to 0
57
Bases
has more -OH than pure water, above 7, strongest closer to 14
58
Buffers
weak acids or bases that prevent sharp changes in pH
59
Adding acid to an unbuffered solution causes...
the pH of the unbuffered solution to drop and become an acidic pH
60
Adding acid to a buffered solution will cause...
a slight change in pH and create a basic pH
