A
  • has a definite and constant composition
18
Q

What is a homogenous mixture?

A
  • uniform composition and properties throughout
19
Q

What is a heterogeneous mixture?

A
  • non-uniform composition and properties throughout
20
Q

What is an element?

A
  • made up of atoms of the same atomic number
21
Q

What is a compound?

A
  • made up of a combination of atoms or ions in a fixed ratio and individual properties
22
Q

What is bonding in a mixture?

A
  • physical
23
Q

What is bonding in a compound?

A
  • chemical
24
Q

What is an isotope?

A
  • atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons, but different number of neutrons
25
Q

What is the empirical formula?

A
  • the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms or amount of each element present in a compound
26
Q

What is the limiting reagent?

A
  • reactant that is completely consumed in a reaction
27
Q

What is an ideal gas?

A
  • follows these postulates and equations under stp conditions:
  • at high temperature and low pressure, the forces of attraction are insignificant - high degree of separation
  • move more slowly at high pressure and low temperature and the distances between particles increases
  • this means that gases can depart from ideal gas behaviour and exhibit real gas behaviour
28
Q

What is pressure?

A
  • the force exerted by a gas as its particle collide with a surface
29
Q

What is the molar volume of an ideal gas?

A
  • 22.7dm3/mol
30
Q

What is Avogadro’s Law?

A
  • equal volumes of any gas measured at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules
31
Q

What is Boyle’s Law?

A
  • when temperature remains constant, an inverse relationship exists between pressure and volume
32
Q

What are the gas laws?

A
  • series of relationships that predict the behaviour of a fixed mass of gas in changing conditions of temperature, pressure and volume
33
Q

What is Charle’s Law?

A
  • for a fixed mass of gas at a constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature
34
Q

What is Gay-Lussac’s Law?

A
  • at a constant volume, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature
35
Q

What is the ideal gas law?

A
  • describes the relationship between pressure, volume, temperature and amount of gas particles
  • pV = nRT
36
Q

What is concentration?

A
  • amount of substance per defined space in terms of mass per unit volume
37
Q

What is a solution?

A
  • homogenous mixture of a solute dissolved in a solvent
38
Q

What is a solute?

A
  • the less abundant component (usually solid)
39
Q

What is a solvent?

A
  • the more abundant component (usually liquid)

- if it is water the solution is aqueous

40
Q

What is molar concentration?

A
  • the amount (in mol) of a substance dissolved in 1dm3 of solvent
