Qual and Quan Flashcards
What are the two types of chemists
Synthetic and Analytical
What does a synthetic chemist do
make new and improved materials
What does a Analytical chemist do
test and analyze materials and the materials’ properties
What types of analysis do Analytical chemists perform
Quantitative and Qualitative analysis
What is a quantitative analysis
determines the amount of something in a substance
what is a qualitative analysis
identify the substance (figure out which element and/or compound is present )
What are the three ways to determine the presence of a species in qualitative observation
- indicators
- precipitation rxns
- solution color changes
what was the chemical equation for the center well in “Acid rain in a bag”
copper+nitric acid-> copper nitrate+ nitrogen dioxide gas+ water
What were the middle wells filled with in “Acid Rain in a bag”
Distilled Water
What gas was produced that dissolves in water in “Acid rain in a bag”
NO2 gas
nitrogen dioxide
What does the dissolving of the NO2 gas in water produce in the “Acid Rain in a bag” lab
Acid Rain
What were the outer wells filled with in “Acid rain in a bag”
Universal indicator solution
What happens when the colors change in “acid rain in a bag”
the pH falls
What are the two types of water pollution
Point and Nonpoint Specific Pollution
What is point specific pollution
- comes from a specific area
- easily solved
- ex: factory with discharge pipe in water
What is non point specific pollution
- comes from not just one location
- ex: runoff water
