Question | Answer |
Hydration | Combination with water |
Solution | Homogeneous mixture. A sample of matter consisting of more than one pure substance with properties that do not vary within the sample. |
Aqueous Solution | A substance dissolved in water |
Solute | A substance dissolved in a solvent to make a solution |
Solvent | The most abundant component in a solution. Usually water. |
Electrolyte | A substance that dissociates fully or partially into ions when dissolved in a solvent, producing a solution that conducts electricity. |
Strong Electrolyte | a solute that completely dissociates into ions in solution and conducts electricity. |
Weak Electrolyte | a solute that incompletely dissociates into ions in solution. Conducts a low amount of electricity |
Nonelectrolyte | a substance that does not ionize in a solution or conduct any electricity |
Acid | a compound containing detachable hydrogen ions |
Strong Acid | an acid that completely dissociates into hydrogen ions and anions in solution. A strong electrolyte |
Weak Acid | An acid that only partially dissociates into hydrogen ions and anions in solution. |
Weak Base | A weak electrolyte that only partially dissociates into ions in solution |
Molarity | Molar concentration |
Standard Solution | A solution of precisely known concentration |
Dilution | Adding solvent to a solution to lower its concentration |
Precipitate | An insoluble substance that has been formed from substances dissolved in a solution |
Soluble | Capable of being dissolved in a solvent |
Insoluble | a substance that does not dissolve in a solvent to any significant degree |
Spectator Ions | an ion that appears as both a reactant and a product in an ionic equation |
Equivalence Point | the point in a titration when enough titrant has been added to react completely |
Indicator | A substance that undergoes an sharp, easily observable change when conditions in its solutions change |
Endpoint | The experimental estimate of the equivalence point in a titration |
Oxidation | the loss of one or more electrons by an atom, molecule, or ion. |
Reduction | the gain of one or more electrons by an atom, molecule, or ion |
REDOX | A reaction that involves transfer of electrons from one substance to another |
Oxidation State | A convention for representing a charge of an atom embedded within a compound |
Oxidizing Agent | A reactant that removing electrons from other reactants in a chemical reaction |
Reducing Agent | A substance that supplies electrons to another reactant in a chemical reaction |
