How many Hydrogen atoms does a single water molecule have? 

2

100

water stuck to the windshield is an example of what? 

adhesion

100

When two substances are mixed, the substance that is dissolved is called the: 

solute

100

what causes water's high heat capacity?

cohesion 
100

what is an acid & base?

Acids donate proton 

bases accept proton

200

In a covalent bond, what ends up happening to the electrons? 

transfer of electrons

200
What causes water to "bead up" and stick together better than oil or alcohol?

surface tension

200

How does salt dissolve in water? what are the type of forces involved? 

IMF--> ion-dipole interaction

200

which phase of water is the most dense? 

liquid

200

what is a buffer?

A weak acid or weak base that can resist the change in temperature 

300

What is a "polar" molecule? give an example

A molecule has areas of positive and negative charge

300

How are cohesion and adhesion alike? how are they different? 

alike: HB/IMF

diff: 

300

How is dissolving salt in water different from sugar dissolved in water? 

Salt--> ion-dipole interaction

sugar--> polar-polar interaction

300

which state of matter would have highest kinetic energy?

Gas

300

Hypochlorous acid dissociates in water to create hydronium ions and hypochlorite ions HOCl+H2O⇔H3O++OCl−. Suppose that additional hypochlorite ions are added to the solution. Which of the following correctly describes the resultant effect on the concentration of HOCl?

increases

400

what type of bond holds the hydrogen and oxygen atoms together in a water molecule?

polar covalent bond

400

Drops of dew on a leaf owe their spherical appearance to: 

cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension

400

Why do you think a salt-water solution eventually becomes saturated?

the solution becomes super saturated -> all the water molecules are interacting with the salt forming hydration shell.

400

Why does water have high heat of vaporization and give an example when it's useful.

HB and perspiration cooling, evaporative cooling 

400

Why can strong acids and/or strong bases not be buffers?

they dissociate completely

500

Why does alcohol evaporate faster than water?

The molecules are not as attracted to each other

500

Explain how you are able to squirt water across a room with a hose or water gun.

cohesion

A 0.5 L vinegar solution contains 25.2 g of acetic acid (mw: 60.052g/mole). What is the concentration of the acetic acid solution in units of molarity? 

(25.2 g X (1 mole/60.052 g) ) / 0.5 L

If I have 1 gram of water at 40 degrees celsius and I need to increase the temperature to 42 degrees celsius. How much heat do I need to put in?

4.186 X 2 = 8.372 J
