(P) Lec 1: Lab Math Flashcards
What are the systems of measurement?
English, Metric, and SI systems
These are the figures in a number that have meaning. They are determined by the desired accuracy and precision of a given equipment or procedure
Significant figures
Which system of measurement is most commonly used inside the CC lab?
SI
SI unit for mass
Kg
SI unit for electrical current
Ampere
SI unit for time
Second
SI unit for temperature
Kelvin
SI unit for amount of substance
Mole
SI unit for luminous intensity
Candela
SI unit for length
Meter
A solution is made up of which two components?
Solute and solvent
Classification of solutions
True solutions, colloids, suspensions
Four ways of expressing concentrations of solution
Percent solution
Molarity
Molality
Normality
(Words you can hear)
Three ways of expressing percent solutions
w/w, v/v, w/v
The amount of solute per 100 total units of solution
Percent solution
The number of moles of solute for every kilogram of solvent
Molality
The number of moles of solute for every liter of solution
Molarity
Gram the number of equivalent weights for every liter of solution
Normality
Defined as:
mw/ valence or number of replaceable H or OH
Equivalent weight
Defined as the addition of more solvent to lower the concentration of a solution
Dilution
Two types of dilution
Simple and serial
One-step dilution
Simple
Also called sequential dilution; the samples in succeeding tubes come from previous tubes except for the initial dilution; solution dilution differs from the tube dilution
Serial dilution
Substances that are capable of releasing hydroxyl ions in solution
Bases
Solutions that are capable of resisting sudden pH changes
Buffer solutions
Dispersed phase
Solute
Dispersing phase
Solvent
Value used for calculating molarity, molality, and normality
Molecular weight
Ratio of the density of a particular substance with that of water
Specific gravity
Other names for %Assay
Percent Purity or Assay Purity
