Definition
A covalent bond in which the electrons are shared unequally between the atoms involved
Term

 

 

 

 

Molarity (M)

Definition
A concentration unit that tells how many moles of a substance are in a liter of solution. It is determined by taking the number of moles of a substance and dividing it by the number of liters of the substance.
Term

 

 

 

 

Titration

Definition
The process of slowly reacting a base of unknown concentration with an acid of a known concentration (or visa versa) until just enough acid has been added to react with all of the base. This process determines the concentration of the unknown base (or acid)
Term

Definition
Compounds that can act as a either an acid or a base, depending on the situation.
Term

Term

 

 

 

 

Polyprotic Acid

Definition

Term

 

 

 

 

Dilution

Definition

 

Adding water to a solution in order to decrease the concentration 

Term

 

 

 

Three Solubility Rules

Definition
  1. The solubility of any solute depends both on the identity of the solute and the idenitiy of the solvent.

 

2. For solid solutes, solubility usually increases with increasing temperature. The solubility of liquid solutes is not affected by temperature. The solubility of gases decreases with increasing temperature.

 

3. Increasing pressure increases the solubility of gases. Pressure does not affect the solubility of either liquids or solids. 

Term

 

 

 

 

Molality (m)

Definition

The number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent

 

Term

 

 

 

 

Solubility

Definition
The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent
Term

 

 

 

 Saturated Solution

Definition
A solution in which the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved
Term

 

 

 

Endothermic Process

Definition

 A process that absorbs heat

 

(feels cold) 

Term

 

 

 

Exothermic Process

Definition

A process that releases heat

 

(feels hot) 

Term

 

 

 

Vapor Pressure

Definition
The pressure exerted by the vapor which sits on top of any liquid
Term

 

 

 

Boiling Point

Definition
The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the normal atmospheric pressure
Term

 

 

 

Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures

Definition
When two or more ideal gases are mixed together, the total pressure of the mixture is equal to the sum of the pressure of each individual gas.
Term

 

 

 

Charles Law

Definition
At a constant pressure, the temperature and volume of a gas are linearly proportional
Term

 

 

 

 

Boyle's Law

Definition
Under conditions of constant temperature the product of gases pressure pressure and volume are always constant
Term

 

 

 

 

Properties of an ideal gas

Definition

1. The molecules (or atoms) that make up an ideal gas must be small compared to the volume available to the gas.

 

2. The gas molucules (or atoms) must be so far apart that they don't attract or repel each other.

 

3. All colisions must be elastic (no energy lost or gained)
