Q

Surface tension

A

The inward force of liquid water molecules have a strong cohesion so they are drawn inward to each other and form a “skin” over the surface water

Q

Universal solvent

A

Water is the universal solvent, it can dissolve substances so readily, that water is almost never found and it’s pure form

15
Q

Saturated

A

Contains the maximum amount of solute for a given amount of solvent at a constant temperature

16
Q

Seed Crystal

A

Supersaturated solutions are unstable and often will reform crystals if a Seed Crystal is added

17
Q

Surfactant

A

Can break the hydrogen bond and alter the physical properties of water

18
Q

Dissociation

A

Compounds become dissociated as in separated into their ions

19
Q

Salinity

A

A measure of the mass of salts dissolved in seawater

20
Q

Desalination

A

Process of salts being removed from seawater

21
Q

Aqueous

A

Water with dissolve substances are called an aqueous solution

22
Q

Capillarity

A

Rising of liquids

23
Q

Intermolecular force

A

Can hold together identical particles

24
Q

Adhesion

A

Describes the force of attraction between molecules that are different

25
Q

Cohesion

A

Describes the force of attraction between identical molecules

26
Q

Molarity

A

Is the number of moles of a solute dissolved in 1 L of solution this is also called the molar concentration

27
Q

Solvent

A

Able to dissolve other substances

28
Q

Hard water

A

Water that has high mineral content

29
Q

Dilute

A

Make a liquid thinner or weaker by adding water or another solvent to it

30
Q

Concentration

A

Present it in a high proportion relative to other substances

31
Q

Insoluble

A

Incapable of being dissolved

32
Q

Electrolytes

A

An electrolyte is a substance that ionizes when dissolved in suitable ionizing solvents such as water.

33
Q

Like dissolves like

A

Like molecules are considered soluble. The term insoluble is given to substances that will only does also having another substance

34
Q

Physical factors that affect solubility

A

Temperature can increase the rate in the amount of solute dissolved. Pressure increases the amount of gas solute dissolved.

35
Q

Solubility of a solid

A

Increases as temperature increases

36
Q

Solubility of a gas

A

Decreases as temperature increases

37
Q

How is water a polar molecule

A

Because of the V-shaped of the water molecule the two sides become obsolete charged
