Atmospheric Pressure is:
measurement of the force pushing against objects on Earth from gas particles in the air.
Melting
changing solid to a liquid–endothermic
Boiling (evaporation)
changing a substance from liquid to gas.–endothermic
sublimation
changing from a solid to a gas without passing through liquid phase–endothermic
Condensation
changing from gas to either a liquid or a solid–exothermic
Freezing
Changing from liquid to solid–exothermic
Vapor Pressure
the force of a gas on the surface of a liquid is a sealed container
Surface tension
resistance of a liquid to increase it’s surface area
Cohesion
tendency of molecules to stick together under tension and act as a combined unit
Solution
uniform mixture of 2 or more substances combined in ratio’s.
Solute
substance present in the largest amount and acts as the dissolving agent.
Solvent
substance dissolved in the solvent and is present in a smaller amount
Solubility
measurement of the amount of solute that will dissolve in a specific volume of solvent under given conditions.
Saturated solution
solution that has maximum amount of solute dissolved in the given volume of solvent
Unsaturated Solution
contains less solute particles than the maximum amount possible in the given volume of solvent
Molarity
the number of moles of solute dissolved in a liter of solution
Titration
process of measuring the volume of one solution required to react with a measured mass or volume of another substance until the moles are equal.
Osmosis
diffusion of water molecules from a dilute solution through a semipermeable membrane into a more concentrated solution.
dilute solution
pure water
Colloidal dispersion
mixtures that are dispersed rather than dissolved
Osmotic pressure
amount of pressure that must be applied to a solution to prevent flow of water through the semipermeable membrane.
Colligative property
depend only on the number of solute particles in a solution, not on the nature of those solute properties.
buffer
mixture of substances that resists changes in pH when small amounts of an acid or base are added to a solution.
Amphiprotic
substance that can act as either an acid or a base depending on the substance it reacts with
