General chemistry
enthalpy of solution
Chemistry; General chemistry
The heat absorbed or released when a solute is dissolved in a solvent . The heat of solution depends on the nature of the solute and on its concentration in the final solution .
nonpolar molecule
Chemistry; General chemistry
A molecule in which the center of positive charge and the center of negative charge coincide. Examples are CCl4 and CO2; counterexamples are CHCl3 and H2O.
titration curve
Chemistry; General chemistry
A plot that summarizes data collected in a titration . A linear titration curve plots moles of analyte (or, some quantity proportional to moles of analyte) on the Y axis, and the volume of titrant ...
conversion factor
Chemistry; General chemistry
A conversion factor is a fraction that relates one unit to another. Multiplying a measurement by a conversion factor changes the units of the measurement. For example, since 1 in = 2.54 cm.
joule
Chemistry; General chemistry
The SI base unit of temperature, defined by assigning 273.16 K to the temperature at which steam, ice, and water are at equilibrium (called the triple point of water). The freezing point of water ...
semipermeable membrane
Chemistry; General chemistry
A membrane that allows some but not all of the components in a mixture to pass through it. Semipermeable membranes are used in dialysis .
amide
Chemistry; General chemistry
An amide is an organic compound that contains a carbonyl group bound to nitrogen: . The simplest amides are formamide (HCONH2) and acetamide (CH3CONH2).
