Molarity
|
the concentration of a solution.
moles solute/volume of solution |
|
pH Scale
|
pH = -log[H+]
Higher pH = lower [H+] = Basic sol. Lower pH = higher [H+] = Acidic sol. |
|
Oxidation - Reduction Reactions
|
chemical reactions in which electrons are transferred.
|
|
Reduction
|
The element gains electrons
|
|
Oxidation
|
The element loses electrons
|
|
OIL RIG
|
Oxidation Involves electron Lose
Reduction Involves electron Gain |
|
Reducing Agent
|
The reactant that gives away electrons (does the reducing)
|
|
Oxidizing Agent
|
The reactant that takes away electrons (is reduced)
|
|
titrant
|
solution of known concentration
|
|
energy
|
the capacity to do work
|
|
work
|
a force applied over a distance
|
|
pressure
|
the force applied to an area
|
|
kinetic energy
|
energy of motion
|
|
thermal energy
|
energy due to the motion of atoms & molecules.
a type of kinetic energy |
|
chemical potential energy
|
energy in chemical bonds in elements & compounds that can be converted to thermal energy or work by a chemical reaction
|
|
1st Law of Thermodynamics
|
energy can neither be created nor destroyed. energy can be converted from one form to another but is always conserved.
|
|
heat
|
depends on the sample size (extensive property)
|
|
temperature
|
doesnt depend on the sample size (intensive property)
|
|
q
|
heat that is tranferred
|
|
endothermic reax
|
q > 0. heat flows into the system
ΔH > 0 |
|
exothermic reax
|
q < 0. heat flows out of the system
ΔH < 0 |
|
calorie
|
the amount of heat required to increase the temp of 1.00 g of water by 1.00 degree C.
|
|
heat of fusion
|
heat required to convert a solid at its melting point to a liquid
|
|
heat of vaporization
|
heat requied to convert a liquid at its boiling point to a gas
|
