Questions and Answers

What is absolute zero?

  • A temperature that is always below -273.15 degrees Celsius.
  • A temperature reading made relative to the freezing point of water.
  • The lowest temperature possible where atoms stop all movement. (correct)
  • A state where chemical bonds completely vibrate.

What defines an acid according to the provided vocabulary?

  • Any compound with a pH greater than 7.

Absolute Zero

The lowest possible temperature where atomic motion essentially stops.

Absolute Temperature

A temperature scale that starts at absolute zero, with 0 Kelvin being the coldest possible temperature.

Accuracy

A measure of how close a measured value is to the true value.

Acid

Study Notes

Absolute Temperature

  • A temperature reading relative to absolute zero
  • Uses the unit of Kelvins

Absolute Zero

  • The lowest possible temperature
  • Atoms stop moving completely at this point (though bonds still vibrate slightly)

Accuracy

  • How close a measured value is to the true value
  • Example: If someone is six feet tall, measuring them as six feet one inch is fairly accurate. Measuring them as twelve feet is inaccurate.

Acid

  • Substances releasing H+ ions in water
  • Has a pH less than 7
  • Dissolves metals like in water
  • Turns litmus paper red and phenolphthalein colorless

Acid Anhydride

  • An oxide that produces an acid when added to water
  • Example: SO3 forms sulfuric acid (H2SO4) when combined with water

Acid Dissociation Constant (Ka)

  • Ratio of conjugate base and acid concentrations when weak acid dissociates in water
  • Example: if conjugate base is 0.5 M and acid is 10 M, Ka = 0.05

Activated Complex

  • Intermediate state in a chemical reaction
  • Reactants join together before becoming products

Activation Energy

  • Minimum energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur
  • Can be very small (like sparking gasoline) or very high (like burning magnesium)

Activity Series

  • Arranging elements in order of their reactivity with water and acids

Actual Yield

  • Amount of product actually produced in a chemical reaction
  • Represents the amount you can weigh.

Addition Reaction

  • Atoms add to a carbon-carbon multiple bond

Adsorption

  • One substance collecting on the surface of another

Alcohol

  • Organic molecule containing an -OH group

Aldehyde

  • Organic molecule containing a -COH group

Alkali Metals

  • Group I elements in the periodic table

Alkaline Earth Metals

  • Group II elements in the periodic table

Alkane

  • Organic molecule with only single carbon-carbon bonds

Alkene

  • Organic molecule containing at least one C=C double bond

Alkyne

  • Organic molecule containing at least one C≡C triple bond

Allotropes

  • Different forms of an element in the same state
  • Example: White and red phosphorus

Alloy

  • Mixture of two or more metals
  • Often stronger and harder than pure metals

Alpha Particle

  • Radioactive particle equivalent to a helium nucleus (2 protons, 2 neutrons)
