Chemistry: An Atoms-Focused Approach

Flashcards created to help understand key concepts and vocabulary related to stoichiometry, solutions, and titrations in chemistry.

Fermentation

The metabolic process by which yeast converts glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide.

Percent Yield

The ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield, expressed as a percentage.

Molarity (M)

A measure of concentration representing the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

Balanced Chemical Equation

An equation that shows the equal number of atoms for each element in a chemical reaction.

Titration

A technique used to determine the concentration of a solute in a solution by reacting it with a standard reagent.

NaCl

Sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt, used in various chemical reactions.

Concentration

A measurement of how much solute exists within a certain volume of solvent.

Precipitation Reaction

A reaction in which soluble reactants form an insoluble product, called a precipitate.

Neutralization

A chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react to form water and a salt.

Equivalence Point

The point in a titration where the number of moles of acid equals the number of moles of base.
