Chapters 1&2 2025 Chem 101 Flashcards
A mixture in which the components are distributed uniformly throughout and have no visible boundaries or regions
Homogeneous mixture
Another name for a homogeneous mixture that are often liquids, but may also be solids or gases
Solution
A mixture in which the components are not distributed uniformly so that mixture contains distinct regions of different competitions
Heterogeneous mixture
The smallest particle of an element that retains the elements properties
Atom
A collection of atoms, chemically bonded together in characteristic proportions
Molecule
A force that holds two atoms or ions in a compound together
Chemical bond
Notation for representing elements and compounds; consists of the symbols of the constituent elements, each followed by subscripts that identify the number of atoms of each element present
Chemical formula
Notation in which chemical formulas express the identities and their coefficient expressed the quantities of sub substances involved in a chemical reaction
Chemical equation
The capacity to do work
Energy
The principal that all samples of a compound contain the same elements combined in the same proportion
Law of constant composition
A particle consisting of one or more atoms that has a net positive or net electrical charge
Ion
An ion with a positive charge
Cation
An ion with a negative charge
Anion
2 atom molecules
Diatomic molecules
7 diatomic molecules, only appear in pairs
N2, O2, H2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2
what are three phases of a substance that can be involved in a chemical equation
Solid liquid or gas
What two elements can react to produce energy
Hydrogen and oxygen
What are three ways to represent the arrangement of atoms in a molecule?
Structural formula, ball-and-stick model, space-filling model
Ways to separate the components of a mixture
Centrifugation - blood samples are placed in centrifuge tubes and subjected to forces about 1000 times the force of gravity,- causes large dense red blood cells to settle to the bottom of tubes
Electrophoresis- separation of proteins based on whether they are positively negatively or have no net charge. The negative charge proteins are separate mostly by molecular size smaller molecules, move faster than larger ones.
The components of a liquid mixture can also be separated by exploding differences in their _______? This is how easily they can be converted from liquids to gases.
Volatilities
A widely used technique used to separate the components of a mixture, which can be used to desalinate seawater
Distillation
This process can be used to remove essentially all the dissolved ions from water
Ion exchange
During the process of ion exchange, what happens to any dissolved cat ions in the water and any dissolved an ions?
Any dissolved cations in the water are replaced with H+ ions
Any dissolved anions are replaced with OH- ions
What face symbol indicates that ions are dissolved in water?
Aq -for aqueous solution
