Q

Colloids

A

A mixtures of solute and a solvent but where the solute particles are large enough to scatter light as it passes through e.g proteins in milk dissolved in water still big enough to scatter light (looks opaque)

Q

Suspensions

A

A mixture in a liquid for a period of time, but eventually it will settle out of the liquid e.g red blood cells and plasma

Q

Reversible reactions

A

Are not static, backward and forward reactions are happening continuously. Tend to find a balance (equilibrium) where the forward and back reactions are happening at the same speed

Q

Le Chateliers Principle

A

A change in one of the variables in a system at equilibrium produces a shift in the position of the equilibrium that counteracts the effect of this change

17
Q

pH

A

Potential hydrogen, A measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution

18
Q

Characteristics of pH scale

A
Range = 0-14
7 = neutral
Below 7 = Acidic
Above 7 = Basic
Body pH = 7.4
19
Q

Buffer

A

A substance that is able to remove or add H+ and it is able to resist large changes in pH e.g weak acids or bases

20
Q

Bodys buffer system

A

Carbonic acid - bicarbonate buffer system
