question
What is the definition of solubility?
answer

Solubility is

• the maximum amount of solute that dissolves in a specific amount of solvent

• temperature sensitive for solutes

• expressed as grams of solute in 100 grams of solvent, usually water

question
What is the defintion of saturated?
answer

Saturated solutions

• contain the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve • have undissolved solute at the bottom of the container

• contain solute that dissolves as well as solute that recrystallizes in an equilibrium process 

question
What is the definition of unsaturated?
answer

Unsaturated solutions

• contain less than the maximum amount of solute

• can dissolve more solute

question
What is the definition of isotonic?
answer

An isotonic solution

• exerts the same osmotic pressure as body fluids such as red blood cells (RBCs)

• of 5.0% (m/v) glucose or 0.90% (m/v) NaCl is a typical isotonic solution

question
What is the definition of hypotonic?
answer

A hypotonic solution

• has a lower solute concentration than RBCs

• means water flows into cells by osmosis 

question
What is the definition of hypertonic?
answer

A hypertonic solution

• has a higher solute concentration than RBCs

• causes crenation: RBCs shrink in size In a hypertonic solution, water goes out of the cells by osmosis.

question
Know that increased temperature increases solubility of salts but decreases solubility of gases
answer
question
What is the definition of mass percent?
answer

Mass percent (% m/m) is the

• concentration by mass of solute in a solution

• grams of solute in 100 g of solution (conversion factor for mass percent)

 

mass percent m/m=g solute/g of solute+ g solvent x100

 

mass percent=g of solute/100 g of solution

question
What is the definition of molarity?
answer

Molarity (moles of solute/liter of solution) is defined as the moles of solute per volume (L) of solution.

 

M=moles of solute/liters of solution

 

question
What is the definition and property of the word solutions?
answer

Solutions

• are transparent

• do not separate

• contain small particles, ions, or molecules that cannot be filtered and pass through semipermeable membranes

question
What is the definition and property of the word colloids?
answer

Colloids

• have medium-size particles

• cannot be filtered

• can be separated by semipermeable membranes

question
What is the definition and property of the word suspenions?
answer

Suspensions

• are heterogeneous, nonuniform mixtures

• have very large particles that settle out of solution • can be filtered

• must be stirred to stay suspended

 

Examples include blood platelets, muddy water, and calamine lotion.

question
Know how solute concentration effects freezing and boiling points
answer

• Solutes dissolved in water effect the freezing point and boiling points. These are called colligative properties.

• Depends only on the number of solute particles in the solution

• Solutes disrupt the formation of water crystals and reduce the vapor pressure of water – causing a higher boiling point

• Examples are salt on icy roads to lower the freezing point of the ice and antifreeze in cars to lower the freezing point of the water in your radiator. Antifreeze also raises the boiling point of the mixture so it doesn’t boil over in hot weather.

question
What is the definition of the word half-life?
answer
The half-life of a radioisotope is the time for the radiation level to decrease (decay) to one-half of the original value.
question
What is the definition of the word radioactivity?
answer
the property possessed by some elements (as uranium) or isotopes (as carbon 14) of spontaneously emitting energetic particles (as electrons or alpha particles) by the disintegration of their atomic nuclei
question
What is the definition of the word radioisotope?
answer

An isotope of an element that emits radiation is called a radioisotope.

When radiation is emitted, a radioisotope

• may undergo a change in the number of protons

• may be converted to an atom of another element

question
What is the definition of the word fission?
answer

In nuclear fission, a large nucleus

• is bombarded with a small particle

• splits into smaller nuclei and several neutrons, releasing large amounts of energy called atomic energy

When a neutron bombards 235U,

• an unstable nucleus of 236U undergoes fission (splits)

• smaller nuclei such as Kr-91 and Ba-142 are produced

• the neutrons emitted have high energy and bombard more U-235 nuclei

question
What is the definition of the word fusion?
answer

Fusion reactions

• occur at extremely high temperatures (100 000 000 ?C) • combine small nuclei into larger nuclei

• release large amounts of energy

• occur continuously in the sun and stars, producing large amounts of energy

question
What is the defintion of the word chain reaction?
answer
In a nuclear chain reaction, the fission of each U-235 atom produces three neutrons that cause the nuclear fission of more and more U-235 atoms.
question
Know 3 types of radiation (alpha, beta, gamma) and what their Greek symbols are. Know their relative energies
answer

An alpha (?) particle has two protons and two neutrons, and it is identical to He nucleus (2+ charge is omitted).

 

A beta (?) particle is a high-energy electron, with a charge of ?1, formed when a neutron is changed to a proton.

 

Gamma rays (?) are the high-energy radiation released from a nucleus when it decays. They have no mass or charge.  

question
Know the 3 methods of protection from radiation (time, distance, shielding) and know what types of protection is adequate for alpha, beta, and gamma emissions.
answer

Radiation protection requires

• paper and clothing for alpha particles • a lab coat or gloves for beta particles

• a lead shield or a thick concrete wall for gamma rays

• limiting the amount of time spent near a radioactive source

• increasing distance from the source

question
Know what the units of radioactive activity (Curie), radiation absorbed (rad) and biological damage of radiation (rem) mean.
answer

• curie (Ci), the number of disintegrations that occurs in 1 s for 1 g of radium, equal to 3.7 ? 1010 disintegrations/s

• rad (radiation absorbed dose), which measures the amount of radiation absorbed by a gram of material such as body The rem (radiation equivalent in humans) measures biological effects of different types of radiation, including

• alpha particles, which do not penetrate the skin; however, if they enter the body, extensive damage may occur in tissues

• high-energy radiation, such as beta particles, high-energy protons, and neutrons, which travels into tissues and causes more damage than alpha particles

• gamma rays, which are damaging because they travel a long way through body tissue

question
Know that a Geiger counter is used to detect radiation
answer
question
Know what an LD50 is
answer

LD50

• is the amount of radiation to the whole body that is the lethal dose for one-half the population

• varies for different life forms, as Table 5.6 shows Whole-body radiation of 600 rem or greater would be fatal to all humans within a few weeks.

answer

Benzene is

• an aromatic compound

• a ring of six C atoms, each bonded to one H atom
