Quarter 2 Final Exam Study Guide Flashcards
Facts about Oxygen
- Nonmetal
- Most abundant element on Earth
- 21% of the volume of atmospheric air
- 89% of the mass of water
- Formula: O2 Symbol: O
Oxygen on the Periodic Table
- VIA Element
- 6 valence electrons
- Oxygen means “acid former”
- When combined with some inorganic elements, acids form
Oxygen’s Physical Properties
- Colorless, odorless. & tasteless
- Heavier than air
- Slightly soluble in water
- Can be liquified & solidified by extreme pressure & low temperature
Oxygen’s Chemical Properties
- Reacts with many substances slowly at ordinary temperatures but rapidly at high temperatures
- Reacts with many metallic & nonmetallic elements to form oxides
- Supports combustion/helps things burn
Ways to define Oxidation
- the addition of oxygen to a substance
- the removal of hydrogen from a substance
- the removal of electrons from a substance
- the increase in oxidation number of a substance
Allotropic
When an element exists in two or more different forms, each with its own physical & chemical properties
O,O2,O3
Hard Water
Water that contains minerals in solution that destroy the cleansing action of soap
Calcium, magnesium, and sometimes iron
True Solutions
- Homogeneous mix of two or more substances
- elements or compounds
- gases, liquids or solids
- boils in higher temps; freezes at lower temps
Solid Solutions
- Alloys
- Solids are dispersed throughout each other
- Brass, bronze, stainless steel, sterling silver etc
Solute vs Solvant
Solute: The substance being dissolved
Solvant: The substance that does the dissolving
Solubility
Measure of solute dissolved in a solvent
The measure of how much of a solute can be dissolved in a solvent
Saturated vs Unsaturated
Super Saturated: Too much solute than solvent can hold
Saturated: more solute than solvent can hold
Unsaturated: less solute than solvent can hold
What factors influence Solubility?
Temperature: Solubility of gases in liquids is decreased as temps rise
Pressure: Solubility of gas rises as pressure rises
Dilute Solution vs Concentrated
Dilute: Contains a relatively small amount of solute
Concentrated: contains large amount of solute
Percent by Mass
Mass of solute/total weight of solution X 100
Percent by Volume
Volume of solute/total volume of solution X 100
Index
Concentration of formaldehyde in embalming fluid
Index=HCHO g/100 ml of solution
Osmotic Principles to Embalming
Hypotonic: use on Normal/Dehydrated cases
Hypertonic: use on Edema cases
Isotonic: leaves bodies unembalmed
Properties of Acids
- Acids in solution taste sour
- Sting the skin
- Neutralization Reaction: React with bases to form water & salt
Salts
- Composed of ions of metallic elements or the positive ammonium ion in combination with one or more ions of a nonmetallic element
- Are Ionic substances (have a charge)
Electrolytes
- Salts that dissolve in water and dissociate into positive and negative ions
- The presence of ions in a solutions enables it to conduct electricity
Electrolysis
The passage of an electric current through a solution
can be acids, bases, or salts
- Solutions that allow electrolysis are electrolytes
pH Hydrogen Ion Concentration
- Measure of Hydrogen Ion Concentration
- A neutral solution would have the same concentration of hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion concentration
- pH 7 is neutral
- Less than 7 is acidic
- More than 7 is basic/alkaline
Weak electrolytes
weak conductors of electricity
Strong electrolytes
good conductors of electricity
pH of blood
7.3-7.5
pH of Human Gastric Juice
1.0-3.0
pH of Pure Water
7.0
