(40 cards)
What is a pure substance?
Only 1 type of particle
What is a mixture?
Contain 2/more pure substances
What does homogenous mean?
Look the same throughout
What does heterogenous mean?
Can see different components
What is an element?
Made up of 1 type of atom
What is a compound?
Made up of two or more elements
What is a solution?
Homogenous mixtures composed of a solute and a solvent
What is a solute?
A substance that is dissolved
What is a solvent?
The medium a solute is disoled in
What does acqueous(aq) mean?
Dissolved in water
What are the two ways to classify aqueous solution?
1- electrolytes (polar) or non-electrolytes (non-polar)
2- acid, base, or neutral
What are electrolytes?
Compounds that conduct electricity in solution
What is non-electrolytes?
Compounds that don’t conduct electricity in solution
What are acids?
A compound that contains hydrogen acting as metal and dissolves in water to make a solution with a pH less than 7
What are the traits of acids?
- state is (aq)
- has H at front or COOH at end
- turns litmus red
What are the traits of bases?
A compound taht dissolves in water water to make a solution with pH more than 7
What are the traits of bases?
- state is (aq)
- has OH at the end
- turns litmus blue
What are the generalizations about electrolytes?
Acids, Bases, Ionic Compounds = electrolytes
Molecular Compounds = non=electrolytes
What is dissociation?
Seperation of an ionic compound into its ions in water
What is ionization?
Process by which a molecule i s converted into ion (s)
What occurs when bonds break?
When bonds break, energy must be absorbed from surroundings (endothermic reaction where the surroundings cool down)
What occurs when bonds form?
When bonds form, energy is released into surroundings (exothermic reaction where surroundings heat up)
What is concentration?
Ratio of quantity of teh solute to the quantity of the solution
What is a dilute solution?
Relatively small quanitty of solute when compared to volume of solution
