Q

Surface tension

A

The inward force of liquid water molecules have a strong cohesion so they are drawn inward to each other and form a “skin” over the surface water

Q

Universal solvent

A

Water is the universal solvent, it can dissolve substances so readily, that water is almost never found and it’s pure form

15
Q

Saturated

A

Contains the maximum amount of solute for a given amount of solvent at a constant temperature

16
Q

Seed Crystal

A

Supersaturated solutions are unstable and often will reform crystals if a Seed Crystal is added

17
Q

Surfactant

A

Can break the hydrogen bond and alter the physical properties of water

18
Q

Dissociation

A

Compounds become dissociated as in separated into their ions

19
Q

Salinity

A

A measure of the mass of salts dissolved in seawater

20
Q

Desalination

A

Process of salts being removed from seawater

21
Q

Aqueous

A

Water with dissolve substances are called an aqueous solution

22
Q

Capillarity

A

Rising of liquids

23
Q

Intermolecular force

A

Can hold together identical particles

24
Adhesion
Describes the force of attraction between molecules that are different
25
Cohesion
Describes the force of attraction between identical molecules
26
Molarity
Is the number of moles of a solute dissolved in 1 L of solution this is also called the molar concentration
27
Solvent
Able to dissolve other substances
28
Hard water
Water that has high mineral content
29
Dilute
Make a liquid thinner or weaker by adding water or another solvent to it
30
Concentration
Present it in a high proportion relative to other substances
31
Insoluble
Incapable of being dissolved
32
Electrolytes
An electrolyte is a substance that ionizes when dissolved in suitable ionizing solvents such as water.
33
Like dissolves like
Like molecules are considered soluble. The term insoluble is given to substances that will only does also having another substance
34
Physical factors that affect solubility
Temperature can increase the rate in the amount of solute dissolved. Pressure increases the amount of gas solute dissolved.
35
Solubility of a solid
Increases as temperature increases
36
Solubility of a gas
Decreases as temperature increases
37
How is water a polar molecule
Because of the V-shaped of the water molecule the two sides become obsolete charged
