name the subatomic particle that has a mass of one and a positive charge: | proton |
name the subatomic particle that has a mass of zero and a negative charge: | electron |
define atom: | basic unit of matter |
define molecule: | two or more atoms linked by chemical bonds |
define covalent bond: | where an electron is shared between two atoms |
define ion: | an atom with a positive of negative charge |
define ionic bond: | transfer of electrons from one atom to another, build up of charge; opposites attract |

express the following concentration is scientific notation and as a pH: 0.0001M | 1x10exp-5M pH=5 |
express the following concentration is scientific notation and as a pH: 0.0000000000001M | 1x10exp-13M pH=13 |
express the following concentration is scientific notation and as a pH: 0.01M | 1x10exp0 pH=0 |
the pH scale measure the __________________ of a solution | H+ concentration |
what pH range(s) include acids: | <7 |
what range(s) includes bases: | >7 |
what range(s) includes neutral: | 7 |
if a substance has a pH of 9, then what is its [H+] concentration? | 10exp-9M |
if a substance has a pH of 3, then what is its [H+] concentration? | 10exp-9M |
when a small amount of acid or base is added to a buffered solution what happens to the pH? why? | it stays approx the same. buffer takes up and releases H+ |
when a small amount of acid is added to an unbuffered solution what happens to the pH? why? | it goes down. acids add H+ to a solution |
which of these will change the pH of a solution: HCL or NaCl? why? | HCl. because it is an acid |
organic molecules contain: | carbon |
which chemical reactions break down large molecules? | decomposition |
which chemical reactions use small molecules to build large ones: | synthesis |
