Opposite ends of the molecule have opposite charges
|
Polar molecule
|
Opposite charges
|
|
Collectively, hydrogen bonds hold the substance together - contributes to the transport of water against gravity in plants - capillary action - surface tension very high in water - H-Bonds between molecules on surface and below - lets life live on the surface
|
Cohesion
|
Hold substance together
|
|
Clinging of one substance to another
|
Adhesion
|
Clinging
|
|
Measure of how difficult it is to stretch or break the surface of a liquid due to hydrogen bonds
|
Surface tension
|
Difficulty to stretch or break
|
|
Energy of motion
|
Kinetic energy
|
Motion
|
|
Measure of the total quantity of kinetic energy due to molecular motion in a body of matter
|
Heat
|
Total quantity of kinetic energy
|
|
Measures the intensity of heat due to the average kinetic energy of the molecules
|
Temperature
|
Average kinetic energy of the molecules
|
|
Indicates temperature
|
Celsius scale
|
Indication
|
|
The amount of heat energy it takes to raise the temperature of 1g of water by 1 degree Celsius - also the amount of heat htat 1g of water releases when it cools by 1 degree Celsius
|
Calorie (cal)
|
Amount of energy
|
|
1,000 cal; the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius
|
Kilocalorie (kcal)
|
1,000 cal
|
|
0.239 cal; Calorie = 4.184 J
|
Joule (J)
|
|
|
The amount of heat that must be absorbed or lost for 1g of that substance to change its temperature by 1 degree Celsius - Water: 1 cal/g/Degree Celsius
|
Specific Heat
|
|
|
The quantity of heat a liquid must absorb for 1g of it to be converted from the liquid to the gaseous state - heat is carried away with the water vapor
|
Heat of vaporization
|
|
|
Surface of the liquid that remains behind gets cooled down, because the "hottest" molecules are more likely to leave as gas - sweating and transpiration
|
Evaporative cooling
|
|
|
A liquid that is a completely homogeneous mixture of two or more substances
|
Solution
|
|
|
Dissolving agent of a solution
|
Solvent
|
|
|
Substance that is dissolved
|
Solute
|
|
|
Water is the solvent
|
Aquaeous solution
|
|
|
Sphere of water molecules around each dissolved ion
|
Hydration shell
|
|
|
Whether ionic or polar, any substance that has an affinity for water - substance doesn't have to dissolve
|
Hydrophilic
|
|
|
Substances that are non-ionic and nonpolar seem to repel water
|
Hydrophobic
|
|
|
The sum of the weights of all the atoms in a molecule
|
Molecular weight
|
|
|
The number of moles of solue per liter of solution - most used for aqueous solutions
|
Molarity
|
|
|
A hydrogen atom leaves its electron behind, a single proton with a charge of +1
|
Hydrogen ion
|
|
|
The molecule that has lost a proton with a charge of -1
|
Hydroxide ion
|
|
|
Solutes that increases the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution
|
Acid
|
|
|
Substance that reduces the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution or increase hydroxide
|
Base
|
|
|
The negative logarithm (base 10) of the hydrogen ion concentration - 10 fold difference between numbers
|
pH
|
|
|
Substances that minimize changes in concentrations of H+ and OH- in a solution - accepts hydrogen ions from the solution when they are in excess and donating hydrogen ions to the solution when they have been depleted
|
Buffers
|
|
|
Rain, snow, or fog that is more acidic than pH 5.6 - presence in the atmosphere or sulfur and nitrogen oxides
|
Acid precipitation
|
