54 Terms

1

Accuracy

How close a measured value is to the true value.

New cards
2

Precision

How close a set of measured values are to each other.

New cards
3

Resolution

The smallest distinguishable change that can be measured accurately.

New cards
4

Random error

Errors that occur due to chance and include fluctuations in measurements.

New cards
5

Systematic error

Errors caused by the measuring device itself, consistently above or below the true value.

New cards
6

Dilution equation

C1V1 = C2V2, where C is concentration and V is volume.

New cards
7

Beer’s law

States that the amount of light absorbed or transmitted is an exponential function of the concentration of the absorbing substance and the length of the path of light through the sample.

o 𝑇 =10^−𝑎𝑏𝑐 or −log10𝑇 = 𝑎bc

o T = transmittance

o b = path length

o a = constant depending on the substance absorbing the light

o c = concentration

o A = absorbance: A= - log T

New cards
8

Colorimetry

Measurement technique used to determine the concentration of a particular compound in a colored solution.

New cards
9

Spectrophotometers

Devices that accurately measure the amount of light absorbed or transmitted.

New cards
10

Electromagnetic radiation

Energy that can be described as existing in small packets (photons) or in terms of waves.

New cards
11

Spectroscopy

The study of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter.

New cards
12

White light

A sample containing all wavelengths of visible light.

New cards
13

Absorption

Occurs when electrons move from low to high energy state absorbing energy.

New cards
14

Emission

Occurs when electrons move from an excited state to ground state, releasing energy.

New cards
15

Chromatography

Separation technique that uses two phases of different polarity to separate components of a mixture.

New cards
16

Stationary phase

A porous substance used in separation techniques like chromatography.

New cards
17

Mobile phase

Fluid that can flow through the porous stationary phase in chromatography.

New cards
18

Paper chromatography

Technique where nonpolar components have higher affinity for the mobile phase and travel further.

New cards
19

Rf

Distance spot traveled divided by distance solvent travels from the spotting line.

New cards
20

Reverse phase chromatography

Chromatography where the stationary phase is less polar than the mobile phase.

New cards
21

Solution

A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.

New cards
22

Solute

Substance present in a smaller amount in a solution.

New cards
23

Solvent

Substance present in larger amount in a solution.

New cards
24

Dissolution

Process involving the breaking of bonds and formation of new associations in solution.

New cards
25

Solubility

The concentration of solute in a saturated solution at a specific temperature.

New cards
26

Water

A polar covalent molecule.

New cards
27

Dissociation

Occurs when a solute breaks apart into smaller components.

New cards
28

Electrolytes

Presence of charged ions in solution that allows it to conduct electricity.

New cards
29

Non-electrolyte

A solute that does not conduct electricity.

New cards
30

Acidic cation

Cations that react with water to produce H+ ions.

New cards
31

Neutral cation

Cations that do not react with water.

New cards
32

Convection

Mass transport by moving fluid.

New cards
33

Diffusion

Spontaneous decrease in concentration differences due to random molecular motion.

New cards
34

Like dissolves like

The principle that polar solvents dissolve polar solutes, and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes.

New cards
35

Qualitative analysis

Finding out what elements or substances are present in a sample.

New cards
36

Quantitative analysis

Determining how much of each component is in a sample.

New cards
37

Arrhenius acid

Any substance that produces H+ when added to water.

New cards
38

Arrhenius base

Any substance that produces OH- when added to water.

New cards
39

Bronsted-Lowry acid

Proton donor.

New cards
40

Bronsted-Lowry base

Proton acceptor.

New cards
41

Lewis acid

Electron pair acceptor.

New cards
42

Lewis base

New cards
44

Hygroscopic

Refers to solids that attract water from the atmosphere.

New cards
45

Titration

Technique used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution by slowly adding a solution of known concentration.

New cards
46

Equivalence point

The point at which an acid is completely reacted with a base in titration.

New cards
47

Molarity equation

M1V1 = M2V2, for calculating concentrations in titration.

New cards
48

Back titration

Determining the concentration of an analyte by reacting it with an excess reagent, then titrating the remaining excess.

New cards
49

Calorie

Amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1°C.

New cards
50

Food calories

The relationship between energy and our bodies, where 1000 calories = 1 food calorie = 1 Calorie = 1 kcal.

New cards
51

Calorimetry

Experiment determining energy released or absorbed during a reaction based on temperature change.

New cards
52
