Term
Acid Base (neutralization reaction)
Definition
Based on the gain or loss of hydrogen ions from one reactant (acid) to another reactant (base) to produce water and a salt in solution; type of double replacement reaction
Basic form: HA + BOH -->BA + H20
Term
combustion reactions
Definition
A certain substance (hydrocarbon or inorganic) reacting with oxygen to produce new products and release of energy, type of reduction-oxdidation reaction
Basic formula:
(CxHy) + O2(g)-->CO2(g) + H2O(g)
Term
molecular mass
Definition
describe the sum of the relative masses of all the atoms in a molecular (covalent -bonded compunds)
Term
avogandro's number
Definition
the number of particles in 1 mol; equals 6.0223 X 1023 mol
Term
Molar mass
Definition
the mass in grams of 1 mol of a substance
Term
mole
Definition
the s1 base unit that describes the amount of a substance
Term
hydrogen bonding
Definition
special type dipole-dipole (stronger than regular); between hydrogen and "highly electronegative elements" (usually F,N,O) larger molecule= high boiling point
Term
London Dispersion Forces
Definition
occurs between nonpolar molecules, size of molecule and strength of force are directionally portional (larger molecule = higher boiling point)
Term
surface tension
Definition
resistance of liquid to increase increase its surface area; large intermolecular forces=high surface tension
Term
vapor pressure of liquid
Definition
ability of molecules to enter vapor stage
Term
melting point
Definition
point where the liquid and solid have identical vapor pressures
Term
sublimation
Definition
process by which molecules of a solid becomes gaseous without passing through the liquid state
Term
solubility
Definition
the ability to dissolve
Term
precipitate
Definition
a reaction in which an insoluble substance forms and seperates from the solution
Term
dipole-dipole bonding
Definition
occurs between polar molecules; (+) end of 1 molecule is attracted to the (-) end of another molecule; 1-2% of the strength of an ionic bond, larger molecule=higher boiling point
Term
Normal boiling point
Definition
temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the normal atomspheric pressure
Term
idea gas law
Definition
the state of an amount of gass is determined by its pressure, volume and temperature.
thus PV=nRtp=pressure
v=volume
n=#of moles
r=is the gas constant
t=temperature in kelvins
Term
miscible
Definition
if 2 liquids dissolve in each others in all proportions
Term
immiscible
Definition
when 2 liquids are insoluble in one another
Term
molarity
Definition
the number of moles of a solute dissolved in one liter of solution
Term
supersaturated solution
Definition
contains more solute than it can theoretically hold at a given temperature
Term
unsaturated solution
Definition
a solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution at a given temperature and pressure
Term
saturated solution
Definition
contains the maximum amount of solute for a given quanity of solvent at a constant temperature and pressure
Term
aqueous solution
Definition
water that contains dissolved substances
Term
solute
Definition
dissolved particles in a solution
Term
solvation
Definition
the process by which the positive and negative ions of an ionic solid become surrounded by solvent molecules
Term
solvent
Definition
the dissolving medium in a solution
Term
avagadro's number
Definition
6.02X 10 to 23
Term
standard temperature and pressure (stp)
Definition
means a temperature of 0 degrees celsius and a pressure of 101.3kPA or 1 atomoshpere (atm)
Term
balanced chemical equation
Definition
a chemical equation in which mass is conserved; each side of the equation has the same number of atoms of each element
Term
combination (synthesis) reaction
Definition
a chemical change in which 2 or more substances react to form a single new substance; also called a synthesis reaction
Term
decomposition reaction
Definition
a chemical change in which a single compound is broken into 2 or more simplier products
Term
single replacement reaction
Definition
a chemical change in which a single compound is broken down into two or more simplier products
Term
reactant
Definition
a substance present at the start of a reaction
Term
product
Definition
a substance produced in a chemical equation
Term
net ionic equation
Definition
an equation for a reaction in solution showing only those particles that are directly involved in a chemical change
Term
atomospheric pressure
Definition
results from the collisions of atoms and molecules in air with objects
Term
evaporation
Definition
the conversion of a liquid to a gas on the surface of a none boiling point
Term
kinetic energy
Definition
the energy an object has because of its motion
Term
kinetic molecular theory
Definition
all matter consists of tiny particles that are in constant motion. The particles in a gasare usually molecules or atoms. applies to fundamental assumptions about gases
Term
endothermic process
Definition
absorbs heat from its surroundings
Term
exothermic process
Definition
releases heat from its surroundings
Term
miscible
Definition
if 2 liquids dissolve in each other in all proportions
Term
stoichiometry
Definition
calculations of quanties of products and reactants based on a balanced chemical equation
Term
complete ionic equation
Definition
an equation written with all soluble strong electrolytes shown as ions
Term
concentration
Definition
the designated amount of solute dissolved in a given quanity of solvent or quantity of solution
Term
pressure
Definition
conveys the idea of a force, a push that tends to ove something in a given direction. P is a force that acts on a given area (P=F/A)
