Chapter 3 Flashcards
Cohesion
The linking together of like molecules, often by hydrogen bonds
Surface tension
The measurement of how difficult it is to stretch or break the surface of a liquid
Kinetic energy
The energy of motion
Heat
The measure of matter’s total kinetic energy due to motion of its molecules
Temperature
Measurement of heat intensity
Solution
Homogeneous mixture of two or more substances
Solvent
Dissolving agent of a solution
Solute
The substance being dissolved
Aqueous solution
Solution in which water is the solvent
Hydrophilic
Having an affinity for water
(polar)
Hydrophobic
Having no affinity for water
remember: fear of water (nonpolar)
Mole
Avogandro’s number
6.02 x 10^23
Molarity
The number of moles of solute per liter of solution
Hydrogen ion
Single proton with a +1 charge
Hydroxide ion
Water molecule that lacks a proton (OH-)
Hydronium ion
Water molecule with an extra proton (H30+)
Acid
Donates protons to a solution
more acidic = more H+
Base
Accepts protons from the solution
more basic = more OH- and less H+
pH
The measure of proton concentration in a solution
Buffer
Minimizes pH shifts within a solution
Properties of Water (6)
- polar
- hydrogen bonding
- liquid longer than other molecules of similar size
- surface tension
- capillary action
- solid is less dense than liquid
Three Chemical States
solid-least movement
liquid
gas-most movement
Hydrophobicity
segregation of nonpolar molecules from polar molecules
Cohesion Characteristics
water binds to itself
able to hold itself together
hydrogen bonding
