Q

What are Endothermic Reactions

A

Reactions that absorb heat from the surroundings, leading
to a decrease in temperature, such as thermal decomposition.

Q

What are Hydrates

A

Compounds containing water molecules in their crystalline
structure, often forming distinct hydrates with specific water-to-solute ratios.

17
Q

What are Acids?

A

Substances that release hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water, leading to acidic properties and pH values
below 7

18
Q

What are Bases?

A

Substances that release hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water, leading to basic properties and pH values
above 7.

19
Q

What is Hard Water

A

Water containing high concentrations of dissolved minerals, particularly calcium and magnesium ions, leads to
scale buildup in pipes and appliances

20
Q

What is Soft Water

A

Water with low mineral concentrations, preventing scale
buildup and often achieved through ion exchange or distillation

21
Q

What is Temporary Softening

A

Methods to reduce water hardness on a short-term basis,
typically through boiling or adding lime to precipitate calcium ion

22
Q

What is Permanent Softening

A

Methods for long-term reduction of water hardness, such
as ion exchange using zeolite or the use of chelating
agents

23
Q

What is electronegativity

A

Electronegativity is a measure of an element’s ability to
attract electrons

24
Q

What is the difference between
ionization energy and electron
affinity?

A

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an
electron from an atom. Electron affinity is the energy released when an atom accepts an electron

25
What is the law definite proportions
A specific compound always contains the same elements in definite proportions by mass
26
Boyles law what is it
At a constant temperature, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional so if pressure increases volume decreases
27
What is Gay-Lussac's Law
At a constant volume, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature. so if pressure increases so does temperature
28
What is Charles' Law
At a constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature. so if volume increases so does temperature.
29
What is Avogadro's law
At a constant temperature and pressure, the volume of a gas and the number of moles are directly proportional. So if moles increase so does volume

Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT
The Kinetic Molecular Theory is a set of principles that explains the behaviour of gasses at the molecular level. It is based on the following postulates: Gasses Consist of Particles: Gasses are composed of small particles, such as atoms or molecules. Constant Random Motion: Gas particles are in constant, random motion, colliding with each other and the walls of the container. Negligible Volume: The volume occupied by gas particles is considered negligible compared to the total volume of the gas. Elastic Collisions: Collisions between gas particles are elastic, meaning there is no loss of kinetic energy Attractive or Repulsive Forces: Gas particles neither attract nor repel each other; they only interact during collisions.
