A | B |
cohesion | property of water; 1 water molecule sticks to another |
adhesion | property of water; it is attracted to sides of containers |
surface tension | the force that causes the molecules on the surface of a liquid to be pushed together and form a layer |
freezing point of water | 0 Celsius or 32 Farenheit; when compounds are dissolved in it decreases |
boiling point of water | 100 Celsius or 212 Farenheit at sea level |
ice | floats; it is less dense than water |
universal solvent | many liquids, solids, and gases will dissolve in water |
ionization | the process of creating electrically charged particles |
ions | positively or negatively charged atoms |
condensation | steam changing to liquid;occurs when heat is released |
evaporation | liquid changing to gas; occurs when heat is absorbed |
pure water | equal amounts of hydrogen and hydroxide ions, never truly exists |
free water | water that flows easily from a hydrate such as fruit |
bound water | water that is tied to the structure of large molecules |
hydrate | any chemical compound loosely bound to water |
point source pollution | contamination coming from a specific place such as a factory |
nonpoint source pollution | contaminants entering the water supply through runoff from multiple sources |
runoff | rainwater that does not enter the ground but flows over the ground and pavement directly into the water ways |
indicator | organic dye that by color change shows the level of acidity in a solution |
endpoint | the equivalence point; point at which there is equal number of acid and base molecules |
acid | a substance that creates a surplus of hydrogen or hydronium ions |
base | substance that creates a surplus of hydroxide ions |
concentration | measure of parts of one substance to the known volume of another |
molarity | measure of solute concentration; expressed as moles per liter |
pH scale | range used to express the degree of concentration of hydrogen or hydronium ions present in a solution |
neutralization | point at which all ions have combined |
buffer | and agent that helps to stabilize pH by absorbing excess acids or bases |
proton donor, electron acceptor, turns litmus red,tastes sour | acid |
proton acceptor, electron donor, turns litmus blue, tastes bitter, feels slippery | base |
responsible for water's many properties | hydrogen bonds |
intermolecular | between molecules |
anthocyanins | water soluble pigments in some fruits and vegetables that produces a color change in the presence of acids and bases |
