| True or False the MSDS has info on what PPE to wear when handling a substance | True |
| NaOH | Sodium Hydroxide |
| A substance composed of 2 or more different elements | compound |
| A group of atoms bound together | molecule |
| OH | Hydroxide ion |
| Add acid to water | do what you oughter |
| Water is a good absorber of | heat |
| N expresses | the concentration of an acid or base |
| Anything above 1N should be treated with | respect |
| H2O2 | Hydrogen peroxide |
| NaHCO3 | Baking soda |
| NaCl | Salt |
| H2S | Hydrogen sulfide |
| H2SO4 | Sulfuric acid |
| NH3 | Ammonia |
| OH | means it is a base (hydroxide) |
| Elements join together to form | compounds |
| An electrically charged particle is an | ion |
| Basic particles of elements | atom |
| basic particles of compounds | molecule |
| Ph | The ability of something to attract hydrogen atoms |
| Ph scale | 0-6 more acidic 7 neutral 8-14 base/alkaline |
| Household ammonia | alkaline |
| Vinegar | acid |
| Organic compounds | always contain carbon |
| reaction rate | measure of the amount of reactants that convert into products in a set time period |
| Concentration | the number of molecules in a given volume |
| Increasing the concentration of reactant molecules | speeds up the reaction rate |
| Decreasing the concentration of reactant molecules | slows the reaction rate |
| The primary components of living cells | Organic compounds |
| Hydrocarbons | |
| Contained stored energy. Used as fuel | |
| Examples of hydrocarbons | Methane, propane, benzene, acetylene |
| Common oxygen containing organic compounds | Ketones (acetone-nail polish remover Organic acids-citric acid (weak), acetic acid, esters (artificial flavors), ethers (anasthetic) |
| Polymers contain | A string of repeating molecules |
| Polymer | A long chain of repeating molecular units |
| Highly flammable organic compounds | Hydrocarbons, alcohols, ketones, ethers |
| Common oxidizing agents | Oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, nitric acid, perchloric acid, sodium pergamanate |
| If you get a Strong base on your skin, it feels slippery because | It is dissolving the outermost layer of skin |
| Caustic refers to | Sodium or potassium hydroxide |
| Safety hazards associated with acids | Burns, fumes, reactive |
| One safety hazard associated with bases | Reactive, corrosive, fumes |
| To raise the ph of a neutral solution | Adjust with a base |

| Oxidizing agents should be considered potentially explosive and highly reactive substances | True |
| A strong base that contains irritating fumes | Ammonia |
| Conductivity | Measures the concentration of atoms |
| Water that is not highly purified usually has | More ions in it, is more conductive than purified or deionized ater |

| Precipitation | The process that separatwsca solid solute from a solution by changing the solute to a precipitate. Clumping of milk in vinegar |
| Filtration | Uses a mechanical device to physically separate solid particles from a solution |
