Term
oxidizing agent
Definition
compound that contains the reduced element
Term
reducing agent
Definition
is the compound with contains the oxidized element
Term
Oxidation and reduction
Definition
occur together
Term
polyatomic ions
Definition
The oxidation numbers combined equal the over all oxidation number
Term
H
Definition
+1
Term
oxygen
Definition
-2
Term
Oxidation numbers
Definition
Are derived from group number
Term
equilibrium systems
Definition
Dynamic and reversible. forward and reverse reactions continue after equilibrium is attained
Term
Inhibitor
Definition
Decreases the rate of reaction
Term
Catalyst
Definition
Increases reaction rate by lowering the activation energy; but the catalyst is not part of the product. ex: enzyme
Term
Collision provides
Definition
opportunity and energy for reactions to occur: most are unsuccessful
Term
Activation energy
Definition
Minimum amount of energy required for a successful collision
Term
Pressure
Definition
Only affects gases. More molecules of gas )look at coefficients) produce more pressure, the more pressure on the system, the more collisions
Term
Rates of reation
Definition
A speed at which reaction takes place, reaction rates directly related to increases in temperature, surface area and concentration
Term
Calorimeters
Definition
Insulated device used to measure the heat transfer in the chemical process, the temperature changed a precise amount of water surrounding the system is measured
Term
Specific heat
Definition
it is the amount of heat required to raise the temp of 1g of substance by 1 degree
Term
Heat capacity
Definition
The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the sample by 1 degree
Term
Calorie
Definition
The quantity of heat needed to raise the tmp of 1g of water 1 degree
Term
joule
Definition
SI unit for energy
Term
Enthalpy
Definition
heat flow into and out of a system
Term
spontaneity
Definition
a reaction will proceed without any outside inebriation, a reaction will proceed by itself (fast or slow)
Term
entropy
Definition
The measure of disorder
Term
energy is stored
Definition
In chemical bonds. bonds are broken to release energy.
Term
exothermic
Definition
releases heat, endothermic: heat is absorbed
Term
thermochemistry
Definition
energy involved in chemical reaction
Term
titration
Definition
technique used to determine an unknown pH of an acid or base with a known concentration on an acid or base.
Term
binary acids
Definition
It begins with hdyro- root of nonmetal and ends in ic.
Term
Lewis base
Definition
an electron pair donor
Term
Lewis acid
Definition
Electron pair acceptor
Term
bases
Definition
contain a dissociated hydroxide, slittpery, bitter, does not react with metals, turn red litmus paper blue, pH greater than 7, turns pink with phenolphthalein.
Term
acids
Definition
contains a dissociated hydrogen, react with metals, have a pH below 7, turns blue litmus paper red, and don't react with phenolphthalein
Term
colligative properties
Definition
depends on number of dissolved particles
Term
molarity
Definition
moles of solute divided by liters of solution
Term
Solubility effected by
Definition
agitation, inc temp, and inc. surface area
Term
Non electrolytes
Definition
solution which do not conduct electricity
Term
Electrolytes
Definition
solutions which conducts electricity
Term
saturation
Definition
when dissolution and crystallization are in equilibrium. No mote solute will dissolve, unsaturated: more solute can be added, Supersaturated: amount of solute exceeds the limit.
Term
water
Definition
universal solvent
Term
Solution process
Definition
forces are broken in ionic substances and attracted by ends of water
