What is the charge for Hydrogen? |
+1 |
|
How do you find the charge for an element with only a periodic table of elements? |
the first row on the left of the table is +1, the second row is +2, then you skip the big section from Sc to Hg, then the next row is +3 chage, the next row is +4, the next row is -4, next is -3, next is-2, next is -1 |
|
What is the equation used to find the solution concentration? |
mass of solute divided by the mass of the solution multiplied by 100 = percent concentration |
|
Solubility |
quantity of a substance that will dissolve in a given quantity of solvent to form a saturated solution. |
|
saturated |
When the solvent has dissolved as much solute as it can retain stably at a given temperature. |
|
biodegradable |
Can be broken down by living things. |
|
acids |
Gives off Hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. |
|
photosynthesis |
The proccess of a plant making it's own food. |
|
supersaturated |
Solution containing a higher concentration of solute than a saturated solution at a given temperature. |
|
unsaturated |
When you can add more of what you are dissolving to the solvent. |
|
neutral |
in between an acid and a base |
|
bases |
Gives off hydroxide ions when dissolved in water. |
|
concentration |
quantity of solute dissolved in a specific quantity of solvent or solution |
|
Aerobic Bacteria |
Need oxygen to break it down. |
|
Anaerobic Bacteria |
Doesn't need oxygen to break it down. |
|
Ion Exchange |
process of purifying water, which may involve the exchange of hard-water ions for other ions such as sodium. |
|
Regenerated |
process of renewing a material; renewing used ionexchange resin by replacing hard-water ions in the resin with ions such as sodium. |
|
Sludge Gas |
Containing both methane and carbon dioxide. It remains agter water goes through aeration and digestion. |

|
Hard Water |
Water containing a relatively high concentration of calcium, magnesium, or ion 3 ions. |
|
Turbidity |
The cloudiness of a solution. |
|
Water Treatment |

|
Chlorination |
The addition of chlorine to a water supply to kill harmful organisms. |
|
Condensation |
Conversion of a substance from a gas to a liquid or solid state. |
|
Water Sofening |
The process of removing calcium, magnesium, and ion 3 from water, results in water that readily forms a lather with soap. |
|
Water Sofener |
Apparatus containing an ion-exchange resin; used to treat water by removing ions that cause water hardeness. |
|
Sewage Treatment Plant |
Where the post-cleaning of municipal water occurs at. |
|
Evaporation |
Change of a substance from a liquid to a gas. |
|
Filtration |
Separation of solid particles from a liquid by passing the mixture through a material that retains the solid particules. |
