Card preview (12)
Adhesion
Water sticks to another substance which forms hydrogen bonding
Cohesion
Water sticks to itself which forms hydrogen bonds
Specific Heat
A specific amount of heat energy used to change the temperature of water (water-high specific heat)
Polarity
Unevening sharing of electrons
Universal Solvent
Water’s ability to dissolve most substances
Solute
Substance that is dissolved
Soulvent
Substance that the solute dissolves in (Ex. Water)
Capillary Action
Water moves up narrow spaces without any forces due to cohesion and adhesion
Base
Greater than 7 on the pH scale, making solution slippery and bitter
Acid
Less than 7 on the pH scale, more acidic
Neutral
Has a balance of hydrogen (H+) and hydroxide (OH-) ions
pH scale
A scale that measures the acidity or basicity from 0 - 14
