You can determine the weight in grams of a mole of atoms by using this. |
Molar Mass |
|
You can determine the weight in grams of a mole of atoms by using this. |
A Mole |
|
This is the unit used for molar mass. |
Grams/Mole |
|
We can use this to convert between grams and moles of any material. |
Molar Mass |
|
We can use this to convert between grams and moles of any material. |
Molar Mass |
|
This is the molar mass of carbon dioxide, CO2. |
44 g/mol |
|
Balancing a chemical equation is used to show that this is conserved. |
Mass |
|
These materials are used to speed up reactions, but are not altered by the reaction. |
Catalysts |
|
Heat is measured in these units. |
Calories |
|
The energy content of food is measured in these units. |
Calories |
|
This is the study of reaction rates. |
Kinetics |
|
In addition to mass, this is also conserved in a chemical reaction. |
Energy |
|
In order to break a bond in a chemical reaction, this must be added. |
Energy |
|
A reaction may be slow because the value of this is quite high. |
EsubA |
|
A catalyst works by reducing this. |
EsubA |
|
This is a biological catalyst. |
Enzyme |
|
The symbol ΔH is used to indicate this about a reaction. |
Changes in enthalpy, or heat released |
|
These types of reactions release heat to the environment. |
Exothermic |
|
These reactions absorb heat from the environment. |
Endothermic |
|
This tells us on an energy diagram that a reaction is exothermic. |
Products lower than reactants |
|
ATP is mostly used by our bodies for this purpose. |
Energy transfers |
|
An increase in temperature usually has this effect on a reaction. |
Speeds up |
|
This happens to reactions with higher reactant concentrations. |
Speeds up |
|
This set of biochemical pathways has negative changes in enthalpy. |
Exothermic |
|
This is a chemical reaction in which the rate of the forwards and backwards reactions are equal and balanced. |
Equilibrium |
|
This is the rule determining how reactions reach equilibrium. |
Le Châtelier’s rule |
|
There is considerable space between molecules in this state of matter. |
Gas |
|
In this state of matter, molecules are locked in place, and their only motion is vibrational. |
Solid |
|
This represents energy that flows from a high temperature object to a lower temperature object. |
Heat |
|
This is a hidden energy, which may be converted to motion or work at a later time. |
Potential energy |
|
This type of energy is obvious in the motion of things around us. |
Kinetic energy |
|
A heating curve shows that adding heat to something at its boiling point or melting point has this effect on its temperature. |
No change |
|
Since melting something draws heat out of nearby objects, this is the result of freezing something. |
Heat flows into the object |
|
This is true of the vapor pressure of a liquid at its boiling point. |
It equals atmospheric pressure |
|
This increases if the temperature of a gas increases when the pressure stays constant. |
Volume |
|
This increases if the temperature of a gas decreases if the volume decreases. |
Pressure |
|
If a gas is forced into a smaller volume, then this property increases. |
Pressure |
|
This occurs more frequently at the walls of a container when the pressure of a gas inside it increases. |
Collisons |
|
This theory connects particle motion with some bulk properties of materials. |
Kinetic Molecular Theory |
|
If a gas consists of many components, its total pressure is the sum of these. |
Partial pressure |
|
The solubility of a gas in water is proportional to this. |
Partial pressure |
|
Hydrocarbons contain only these elements. |
Hydrogen and carbon |
|
These hydrocarbon compounds contain some carbon-carbon double bonds. |
Alkenes |
|
Because hydrocarbons have this property, they are insoluble in water. |
Non-polar |
|
These result when a chain of carbons is joined at its ends. |
Cyclic Hydrocarbons |
|
It is common to draw cyclic hydrocarbons using these geometric figures. |
Polygons |
|
These are the simplest way to draw hydrocarbons and other organic molecules. |
Skeletal Line Drawings |
|
This is the name for a hydrocarbon with a continuous chain of 4 carbons. |
Butane |
|
These cyclic hydrocarbons may be drawn with double bonds, but are much more stable than alkenes. |
Aromatic hydrocarbons |
|
This is the simplest of all the aromatic compounds. |
Benzene |
|
Generally, aromatic compounds contain this structure. |
The benzene ring |
|
This structure results when an O is joined to an H and an R-group. |
Alcohols |
|
Alcohols are soluble in water due to this property. |
Polarity |
|
These bonds may form between adjacent alcohols or to water from an alcohol. |
H-bonds |
|
This is a compound consisting of an alcohol joined to a benzene ring. |
Phenol |
|
These compounds consist of an O suspended between two R-groups. |
Ethers |
|
This cluster of atoms consists of a carbon double bonded to an oxygen. |
Carbonyl |
|
Aldehydes consist of these bonded to a carbonyl group. |
An R and an H group |
|
Ketones are different from aldehydes due to this feature. |
They have two R groups |
|
This feature of carbonyl-containing compounds aids their solubility in water. |
Polarity |
|
This consists of a carbonyl group joined to an alcohol. |
Carboxylic acids |
|
When carboxylic acids dissolve in water, they form these polyatomic ions. |
Carboxylate ions |
|
This is the common name for the two-carbon carboxylic acid. |

|
This is the common name for the one-carbon aldehyde. |
