Q

Why is water important?

A
  • It is the universal solvent.
  • It has the ability to dissolve many different ionic compounds and some polar molecular compounds.
    This happens because water is a polar compound.

A
  • Taste bitter.
  • pH greater than 7.
  • Feel slippery to the touch.
  • They neutralize acids.
  • They turn litmus blue.
24
Q

What is Endothermic?

A

They absorb heat.

Reaction or system absorbs (takes in) energy from its surroundings.

Temperature of the surroundings decrease.

System obtains or gets energy and the surroundings lose.

Processes that requires energy.

25
Q

Which uses energy to break bonds between

reactants?

A

Endothermic

26
Q

When energy is released which creates new bonds?

A

Exothermic

27
Q

What is Exothermic?

A

They release heat.

Reaction or system releases (gives off) energy to its surroundings.

Temperature of the surroundings increase.

System loses energy and surroundings get.

Processes that release energy.

28
Q

What is an Endothermic Reaction?

A
  • More energy absorbed than released.
  • More energy absorbed to break bonds compared to quantity of energy released to form bonds.
  • Reaction where there is more energy absorbed to break the bonds of the reactants compared to the amount of energy released when creating the new bonds of the products.
29
Q

What is Exothermic Reaction?

A
  • More energy released than absorbed.
  • More energy released when forming bonds then was absorbed when breaking bonds.
  • Reaction where there is more energy released when making the bonds of the products then was absorbed when breaking the bonds of the reactants.
30
Q

What 2 things happens during a solution?

A

Chemicals - more easily handled.

Carrying out reactions - more controllable.

31
Q

Important Thing to Know

A

For a reaction to take place collisions must occur or happen between the reactant atoms, ions or molecules involved.

32
Q

I think a Thing to Know

A

In a solution a much greater number of collisions can therefore happen and the reaction can proceed faster and more efficient pace.

33
Q

What is Concentration?

A

A measure of the amount of solute compared to the amount of solvent.

34
Q

How can solutions be described?

A

They can be described as concentrated and diluted.

35
Q

Includes a large portion of solute compared to another solution. What is this?

A

Concentrated

36
Q

Includes a small portion of solute compared to another solution. What is this?

A

Diluted

37
Q

What is Parts per Million (ppm)?

A
  • Very dilute solutions.

- Mass of a solute present in a million units of mas of a he solution.

38
Q

What is Molar Concentration?

A

An SI unit expressing concentration as moles per litre of solution. (mol/L)

39
Q

What is Dilution?

A

A solution can be made less concentrated by simply adding more solvent.

40
Q

What is Solubility?

A

The amount of a substance that dissolves in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature to produce a saturated solution.

41
Q

What is a Saturated Solution?

A

A solution in which no additional solute will dissolve, at a specific temperature.

42
Q

What does a Saturated Solution contain?

A

It contains both a dissolved and undissolved solute.

43
Q

What is Crystallization?

A

The opposite (reverse) of dissociation.

44
Q

When does equilibrium happen?

A

When the rate of dissociation and crystallization are the same

45
Q

Does Pure Elements have a low solubility in water or high?

A

Low Solubility

46
Q

Does solids (compounds) have a high solubility or low?

A

High Solubility

47
Q

Which liquid dissolve completely in water in any proportion? Also which liquid is said to be miscible with water?

A

Polar liquids

48
Q

Which liquid doesn’t dissolve in water to any extent? Also which liquid is said to be immiscible with water?

A

Nonpolar liquids

49
Q

Is this statement correct? Diluting a solution DOES NOT change the # of moles of solute originally in the solution.

A

Yes

50
Q

To prepare a standard solution what are the rules?

A
  1. Collect the mass of solute using the electronic balance.
  2. Dissolve the mass in 40 mL to 50 mL of dissolved water.
  3. Transfer the contents from the beaker into the volumetric flask and then add distilled water to the flask until the 100 mL is reached.
51
Q

What are the ways to prevent and clean up acid and base spills?

A
  1. Dilute it - adding water decreases the concentration of hydronium and hydroxide - not prepared
  2. Neutralize it - adding a weak acid or base to react and produce salt and water - best practice
52
Q

What is the Neutralization equation?

A

acid + base = salt + water

53
Q

What is Neutralization Reaction?

A
  • It involves hydronium and hydroxide ions reacting to form water.
  • Since the only products are salt and water, the substances do not have acidic or basic properties.
54
Q

What is the meaning of Acid-Base Indicators?

A

It is when some chemicals change when placed in an acid or a base.

55
Q

What is the Generic symbol for indicators?

A

ln

56
Q

What is the Generic formula for indicators in the acid form?

A

Hln
