What does Polar mean?
Uneven distribution of charges across a molecule.
What is water?
- Polar molecule
- Simple covalent compound
- 25 degrees Celsius
- colourless, odorless liquid
Properties of water?
Water is a universal solvent
Latent heat of water?
Water has a high latent heat.
Why does ice float?
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
Specific heat capacity of water?
Water has a high heat capacity of 4.18J.
Latent heat of fusion?
Latent heat of fusion is the heat energy required to change 1 mole of a substance from a solid to a liquid at its melting point.
Latent heat of vaporisation
Latent heat of vaporisation is the heat energy required to change one mole of a substance from liquid to gas at its boiling point.
Specific heat capacity?
Specific heat capacity is a measure of the energy required to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1 degree Celsius.
Specific Heat capacity equation?
Q = mc x T
Solvent
Substance which dissolves a substance.
Solute
Substance being dissolved
Solution
Solvent and solute mixture
Saturated solution
A solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in the solvent
Unsaturated solution
A solution with less solute than the saturated solution
Concentration
Amount of solute per volume of solvent
Grams per litre equations
Concentration (g/L) = mass of solute/ volume of solution
Dilution
Dilution is the addition of solvent which decreases concentration of the solute in the solution.
Properties of a Base
- Bitter
- Slippery
- pH 8-14
- Blue
- Reacts w/ acids
- Caustic
Properties of a Acid
- Sour
- Not slippery
- pH 0-6
- Red
- Reacts w/ base
- Corrosive
Bronsted Lowry Acid
Acid are proton donors
Bronsted Lowry Base
Base are proton acceptors
Amphiprotic Substances
Can act as an acid or a base depending on what it is reacting with.
Conjugate Acids and Bases
They are found on the products side of the equation.
