Exam 4 Flashcards
Acid
pH less than 7
H30 is greater than OH
Energy needed to start some spontaneous process
Process continues without outside stimulus or energy
Activation Energy
Alpha
Helix-Structure in proteins that are maintained by hydrogen bonds
Particle-makes up alpha rays identical to helium w/ 2 protons and 2 neutrons
Arrhenius acid
Provides H+
Arrhenius base
Provides OH-
Base
pH greater than 7
Beta
Makes up beta rays
Identical to electron
Produced in nucleus
Neutron changes into proton + electron
Brønsted acid
Donating H+
Brønsted base
Accepting H+
Buffer
A solution with the ability to resist changing pH when acids (H+) or bases (OH-) are added
Catalyst
Increases reaction rates
Not used up in reaction
Covalent
Attractive force that results between two atoms that are attracted to a shared pair of electrons
Critical
Mass-min amount of material needed to sustain a constant critical chain reaction
Reaction-constant rate chain reaction
Diprotic Acid
Gives up 2 protons of H+ per molecule when dissolved in water
Electrolyte
A solute that when dissolved in water forms a solution hat conducts electricity
Endothermic
Absorbs heat
Endpoint
Where the titration stops and color change for pH
Equilibrium
Reactant and product concentrations are equal
Forward and reverse reactions equal
Exothermic
Gets rid of heat
Fission
Large nuclei split into smaller
Equal size nuclei when bombarded by neutrons
