16
Q

Vaporization or evaporation

A

Transformation from liquid to gas

Molecules moving fast enough to overcome attractions to each other

17
Q

Heat of vaporization

A

quantity of heat a liquid must absorb for 1g of it to be converted from the liquid to the gas state

18
Q

Evaporative cooling

A

As liquid evaportates the surface of the liquid that remains behind cools down

This happens because the hottest molecules. the ones with the most kinetic energy leave as a gas

19
Q

Solution

A

A liquid that is a completely homogeneous mixture of 2 or more substances.

Homogeneous - consisting of parts all of the same kind.

20
Q

Solvent

A

The dissolving agent of the solution

21
Q

Solute

A

Substance that is dissolved

22
Q

aqueous solution

A

solute is dissolved in water and water is the solvent

23
Q

Hydration shell

A

The sphere of water molecules around each dissolved ion

24
Q

Hydrophilic

A

Water loving

25
Q

Hydrophobic

A

Repel water

Substances that are nonionic and non polar and therefore do not form hyrdogen bonds

26
Q

molecular mass

A

Sum of the masses of all the atoms in a molecule

27
Q

A

exact number of objects aka AVOGADROS NUMBER

28
Q

10^4 if 4 levels difference (10x10x10x10)

37
Q

What is the internal PH of most living cells?

A

Close to 7

38
