Term
saturated
Definition
solution that contains maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved under conditions at which a solution exist
Term

Term
Concentrated solution
Definition
solution that contains large amount of solute relative to the amount that can be dissolved
Term
aquerous solution

Term
suspension
Definition
suspended material mixed with liquid or suspended medium eventually evens out
Term
colloid
Definition
small particles suspended in liquid
Term
mole per liter
Definition
weight in grams. combined atomic weight that make up a molecule so: H20 would be 1 for hydrogen since 2 there is 2 and 15 for oxygen so 18gms per mole
Term
molarity
Definition
number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 liter of finished solution
Term
why water is important in living systems
Definition
participates in chemical reactions in body, has heat heat capacity, absorbes heat with slight increase in temperature. requires large amount of heat to change from liquid to gas and good cooling mechanism.
Term
water importance
Definition
serves as lubricant
Term
salt
Definition
dissociates into cations and anions neither of which is H+ and OH-
Term
Ionization
Definition
when molucules of inorganic acids bases or salts dissolve in water and seperate into ions
Term
acids
Definition
substance that dissociates into one or more hydrogen ions and one or more anions. single proton with a positive charge
Term
Bases
Definition
substances that dissociate into one or more hydroxide ions and one or more cations. Proton exceptors
Term
Acid base balance
Definition
homoeostasis condition which bodies enternal environment remains within certain physilogical limits.
Term
Ph scale
Definition
7 is neutral below 7 is acid and above is bases. Solution expresseion of acidity.
Term
base solution
Definition
ph more then 7
Term
acid solution
Definition
ph less then 7
Term
buffer systems
Definition
maintaining same PH.
Term
buffer solution
Definition

Term
Strong acids
Definition
(bases) ionize easily and contribute many H+ and OH-
Term
Weak acids
Definition
(bases) dissociate little contribute fewer H+ and OH-
