Chemistry Test Review Flashcards
Solvent
The dissolving medium
Ex) water
Solute
Dissolved particles
Ex:sugar, salt
Solubility
Amount of SOLUTE that dissolves in a given quantity of solvent at a specified temperature and pressure to produce a saturated solution
Unsaturated solution
Contains less than the maximum amount of solute at a specified temperature and pressure
Saturated solution
Contains the maximum amount of solute in a given amount of solvent at a specified temperature and pressure
Dilute solution
A relatively small amount of solute
Ex.) maple sap
Concentrated solution
Large amount of solute
Activation energy
Minimum amount of energy particles needed to react when they collide
Reversible reaction
Conversion of reactants to products and conversion of products to reactants at the same time
Chemical equalibrium
Rates of forward and reversible reactions are the same
Equalibrium position
Relative concentration of reactants and products at equilibrium
Arrhenius acid
Hydrogen containing compounds that ionize to yield hydrogen ions in aqueous solutions
Arrhenius base
Compounds that ionize to yield hydroxide ions in hydroxide ions in aqueous solution
Brønsted- Lowry acid
Hydrogen ion donor
Brønsted-Lowry base
Hydrogen ion acceptor
