Cards

Term
Osmosis
Definition
Involves semipermeable membrane. Net flow across membrane into a more concentrated solution
Term
Semipermeable Membrane
Definition
Contains submicroscopic pores that allow water molecules passage
Term
Reverse Osmosis
Definition
Water forced across membrane into a less concentrated solution. (Must have external pressure)
Term
Osmotic Pressure
Definition
Builds up on one side, pushes back into the other until equilibrium is met.
Term
Isotonic
Definition

Same concentration of 

solute in and out of cell

Term

Hypertonic

Definition

 Higher concentration of solute outside cell than inside 

 

Term
Hypotonic
Definition
 Lower concentration of solute outside cell than inside
Term
Water Fact #1
Definition
Water expands as it freezes. At 0° Celcius it freezes and melts simoultaneously.
Term
Water Fact #2
Definition
Water is densest at 4° 
Term
Freezing Point Depression 
Definition

Colligative property that says that adding a solute lowers the freezing 

point

Term
Boiling Point Elevation
Definition

Colligative property that says that adding a solute will raise the boiling 

point

Term
Colligative 
Definition
Of or relating to the binding together of molecules
Term
Surface Tension
Definition
Elastic tendency found on surface of a liquid. Is caused by Hydrogen bonds.
Term
Cohesive Forces
Definition
Forces of attraction between molecules  of a single substance
Term
Water Fact #3
Definition
At the surface of any body of water there is a  constant exchange of molecules from one phase to the other. (Evaporation, Condensation) Occurs because sometimes the water molecules are moving fast enough to overcome the hydrogen bonds and escape into the gaseous phase or vice versa
Term
Water Fact #4
Definition
Evaporating Molecules take their kinectic energy with them,  lowers average kinectic energy  of liquid and it is cooled
Term
Water Fact #5
Definition
Water molecules are 'sticky' because of the hydrogen bonds
Term
Specific Heat
Definition
The quantity o f heat required to change the temperature of 1 gram of a substance of 1 degree C
Term
Heat of Melting
Definition
The amount of heat energy required to change a solid to a liquid
Term
Heat of Freezing
Definition
Energy released when liquid freezes
Term
heat of Vaporization
Definition
Amount of energy to change liquid to a gas
Term
Forumla Mass
Definition
Sum of the atomic masses of the elements in the chemical formula
Term
Avogadros Number
Definition
A mole
Term
Molar Mass
Definition
1 Mole of the substance, grams per mole
Term
Exothermic
Definition
Net Release of Energy
Term
Endothermic
Definition
Net Absorption of energy
Term
Entropy
Definition
Measure of natural spreading of energy
Term
Activation Energy
Definition
Minimum Energy Required to overcome the energy barrier
