1622921672cohesionlike molecules stick together (like hydrogen bonds)5
1622921673adhesionone substance sticks to another6
1622921674hydration shellsphere of water molecules around each dissolved ion7
1622921675hydrophilic(ionic or polar) any substance that has an affinity for water8
1622921676hydrophobicnonionic and nonpolar; repel water vegetable water9
1622921677colloidstable suspension of fine particles in the air10
1622921678surface tensionhow tough it is to break surface of a liquid or stretch it.11
1622921679H20s surface tensiongreat12
1622921680kinetic energyenergy of motion13
1622921681heatTOTAL AMOUNT OF KE due to mclr motion in a body of matter14
1622921682temperatureintensity of heat due to the AVERAGE AMOUNT OF KE of mcls15
1622921683evaporative coolingproperty of a liquid where surface tension becomes cooler during evaporation16
1622921684why does evaporative cooling happen?"hottest" mcls (those with greatest KE) are most likely to leave as a gas17
1622921685how does evaporative cooling help environment?help stabilise temperature in in lakes/ponds helps terrestrial organisms not overheat18
1622921686acidsubstance that increases the hydrogen ion concentration of a soln (more h than o)19
1622921687mole6.02 x10^2320
1622921688molaritymoles of solute/L of soln21
1622921689dissociation (separation)separation of water mcl into a hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion H20 <> H+ + OH-22
1622921690re-fromation of waterH20 > H2 + .5O223
1622921691basesubstance that reduces hydrogen ion concentration24
1622921692pHnegative logarithm (base 10) of hydrogen ion concentration pH = -log[H+]25
1622921693hydrogen ionhydrogen atom leaves its electron behind single proton with a charge 1+26
1622921694hydroxide ion(OH-) when a water molecule has lost a proton; single proton with a charge of 1-27
1622921695bufferssubstances that minimize changes in H+ and OH- in a soln; in biological fluids resist changes in pH.28
1622921696how does a buffer workaccepts hydrogen ions from the soln when they are in excess and donating hydrogen ions to the soon when they have been depleted weak base29
1622921697buffers formulaH- + HCO3- <>H2CO3 <> H20 (L) + CO2 (g)30
1622921698intramolecular bondsbonds within a molecule covalent bonds - non polar covalent bonds (equal sharing) -polar covalent ionic bonds31
1622921699intermolecularbtwn mcls hydrogen bonds - attraction btwn less electroneg H in one mcl and more electronegative O in another mcl london dispersion32
