Teratogen | causes physical defects in a developing fetus or embryo |
Parts per million/billion | indicates how much chemical exposure is allowed |
If the flash point of a substance is less than 100 degrees celcius then it is considered | flammable |
MSDS | material safety data sheet |

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 |

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 |
Salt dissolves into ions so | Solutions with higher salt concentrations are more conductive |
Conductivity | The amount of electrical current thatcan pass through a solution. |

Concentration | The number of molecules in a given volume |
Separation methods in industry | Evaporation, distillation, precipitation, crystallization, filtration, centrifugation, liquid extraction, chromatography |
Why separate chemicals? | Purification |
Evaporation | Process of changing a liquid to a gas through heat treesap to syrup |
Distillation | Used to separate liquids with 2 diggerent boiling points from a mixture |
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 |
Crystallization | Process of separating a solute a liquid solution by increasing the concentration of the solute until the solvent cannot absorb any more |
