Chemical Reactions Change The Composition Of Matter Flashcards
Is established when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.
Chemical equilibrium
Process of making and breaking chemical bonds leading to changes in the composition of matter. Process where reactants undergo changes into products
Chemical reactions
A lipid that is a homogenous mixture of two or more substances.
Solution
Dissolving agent of a solution.
Solvent
Substance dissolved in a solution.
Solute
Solution in which water is the solvent.
Aqueous solution
Doesn’t react
Inert
If an atom is electrically neutral, the number of protons ____ the number of electrons?
Equals
Each pH unit represents a ____ difference so a slight change in pH represents a large change in actual [H+].
Tenfold
Diverse group of organic compounds that are insoluble in water, but will dissolve in non polar solvents (e.g. Ether, chloroform, benzene).
Lipids
Three important groups of lipid
Fats
Phospholipids
Steroids
Macromolecules constructed from Glycerol (three-carbon alcohol), fatty acid (carboxylic acid), composed of a carboxyl group (-COOH) “head” at one end and an attached hydrocarbon chain (“tail”).
Fats
Hydrocarbon chain has a long carbon skeleton usually with an even number of carbon atoms (most have 16-18 carbons). Nonpolar C-H bonds make the chain hydrophobic and NOT water soluble.
Fats
No double bonds between carbons in fatty acid tail. Usually a solid at room temp. Most animal fats. e.g. Bacon grease, lard and butter.
Saturated fat
One or more double bonds between carbons in fatty acid tail. Usually a liquid at room temp. Most plant days. e.g. Corn, peanut and olive oil.
Unsaturated fat
