Q

Solution

A

Is a mixture of one or more soluble substances

18
Q

Solute

A

Thing that is dissolved

19
Q

Solvent

A

Liquid that dissolves solute

20
Q

Water is a temperature moderator

A

Water absorbs a great deal of heat while only rising its temperature a slight amount. Water also releases heat slowly. This property is referred to as high heat of evaporation

21
Q

Evaporative cooking

A

As a liquid evaporated the most energetic molecules are carried away leaving the lower kinetic molecules behind which cools the surface of the liquid

22
Q

Cohesive

A

Water molecules stick to each other

23
Q

Adhesive

A

Water molecules stick to other molecules

24
Q

Buffer

A

Buffers are chemicals or combinations of chemicals that are able to keep pH levels constant despite adding more and more acid
