7015458971Redox ReactionA reaction in which certain atoms undergo changes in oxidation states. The substance increasing in oxidation state is being oxidized. The substance decreasing in oxidation state is being reduced.7
7015474132Basic (Base)A substance that is an H+ acceptor; a base produces an excess of OH-(aq) ions when it dissolves in water. 8-14 on the pH scale.8
7015477405Acidic (Acid)A substance that donates an H+ ion and hence increases the concentration of H+(aq) when it dissolved in water.9

7015487117Molarity11
7015491482Molality12
7015493453Oxidation NumbersA positive or negative whole number assigned to an element in a molecule or ion on the basis of a set of formal rules; to some degree it reflects the positive or negative character of that atom.13
7015502325SolubilityThe amount of a substance that dissolved in a given quantity of solvent at a given temperature to form a saturated solution.14
7015507141EffusionThe escape of gas through an orifice or hole.15
7015510043DiffusionThe spreading of one substance through a space occupied by one or more other substances.16
7015515882Specific HeatThe heat capacity of 1 gram of substance; the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance by 1 degree Celsius.17
7015521680ExothermicA process in which a system releases heat to its surroundings.18
7015524027EndothermicA process in which a system absorbs heat from its surroundings.19
7015526728Henry's LawA law stating that the concentration of a gas in a solution is proportional to the pressure if the gas over the solution.20
7015533102JoulesThe SI unit of energy (J); 1kg-m^2/S^221
7015535821CalorieA unit of energy, it is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water from 14.5 degrees Celsius to 15.5 degrees Celsius.22
7015542420DensityD= M/V23
7015545976Rate LawAN equation that related the reaction rate to the concentrations of reactants. (Sometimes products).24
7015550743Elementary StepA process in a chemical reaction that occurs in a singles event or step. An overall chemical reaction consists of one or more elementary reactions or steps.25
7015556480EntropyA thermodynamic function associated with the number of different equivalent energy states. It's a state function! #DISORDER26
7015565305EnthalpyA quantity defined by the relationship H=E+PV ; the delta H for a reaction that occurs at a constant pressure is the heat absorbed in a reaction. #HEAT27
7015572083Gibbs Free EnergyA thermodynamic state function that combines enthalpy and entropy, in the form G=H-TS ; For a change occurring at a constant temperature and pressure, the change in free energy is represented as: deltaG=deltaH-(T)(deltaS)28
7015581191EquilibriumOccurs when a reaction and its reverse reaction (speed) proceed at the same rate.29
7015586462-Saturated -Unsaturated -Supersaturated-A solution in which undissolved solute and dissolved solute are in equilibrium. -Solutions containing less solute that a saturated solution. -Solutions containing more solute that=n an equivalent saturated solution.30
7015593091pHThe negative log base 10 of the aquated hydronium ion concentration: pH=-log[H+]31
7015596469pOHThe negative log base 10 of the hydronium ion concentration: pOH=-log[OH-]32
7015603025Scientific Notation4 x 10^3 = 4000 4 x 10^-3= .00433
