Solute
material being dissolves
Solvent
material doing the dissolving
Solution
combination of solute dissolved in solvent.
Aqueous solution
a solution with water as the solvent (like hot water and sugar)
What does "like dissolve like" mean?
polar solvent dissolves polar solute, non-polar solvent dissolves non-polar solute.
What happens, from a molecular point-of-view, to a crystal lattice during the solvation process?
As solute ions breaks away from the crystal, the positive and negative charged ions become surrounded by the solvent molecules and the ionic crystal lattice.
Unsaturated solution
a solution that is contains less solute than a saturated solution at a given temp and pressure.
Saturated Solution
a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute for a given amount of solvent at a constant temp and pressure. (the perfect amount that is needed)
Supersaturated solution
a solution that contains more solute than it can theoretically hold at a given temp. (too much solute so cannot melt/become a solution)
How does Temperature affect the solubility of a solute?
Increases the kinetic energy
How does Agitation affect the solubility of a solute?
Increases rate of the collision.
How does Particle Size affect the solubility of a solute?
Increases surface area.
What is Molarity?
The concentration of the number of moles of a solute that are dissolved in 1 Kilogram of a solvent.
What is the equation of Molarity?
M=n/v
Arrhenius Base
substance that produces an OH- ions when dissolved in water.
Arrhenius Acid
substance that produces H+ ions when dissolved in water.
Bronsted-Lowry Acid
substance that is an H+ ion donor.
Bronsted-Lowry Base
substance that is an H+ acceptor.
4 Properties of Acids
Taste sour, will change color of an acid-base indicator, can be strong electrolytes in aqueous solution, and can be weak electrolytes in aqueous solution.
4 Properties of Bases
Taste bitter, will change color of an acid-base indicator, feels slippery, and can be strong or weak electrolytes in aqueous solution.
What is the defining feature of a strong acid & strong base?
They will completely dissociate (completely separate into ions) when added to water.
What is the defining feature of a weak acid & weak base?
They will only partially dissociate (partly separate into ions) when added to water.
Repolarization
A change in membrane potential returning to the initial resting (polarized) state; cell interior becomes relatively more negative than cell exterior. (Na+ gates close not allowing them to pass through, K+ passes through).
Hyperpolarization
The process by which the membrane potential of a cell changes to become more negative than its resting membrane potential.
-70mV
Resting Potential
-55mV
Depolarization/Threshold
-85mV
Hyperpolarization
4 types of neuroglias in cns
astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microgli, ependymal.
2 types of neuroglias in pns
Schwann, satellite
Myelination
Axons of most mammalian neurons are surrounded by a multilayered coating.
Myelinated Axon
Greatly increases speed of nerve impulse conduction. Also, response to stimuli gets more rapid and coordinated.
