Neutralization The chemical reaction of an acid and base to yield a salt and water. mmm yeah I'm going to bed now. I'm sure I'll see you guys around here again

lol substitution reaction: a reaction in which one atom replaces another in a molecule

Group- A column of elements in the periodic table.

Cathode- The positive electrode at which reduction occurs

lol, wow! That's odd! Wouldn't it be sensible to let you do as much exam practise as you can? We need to know the 2U stuff anyway, in case harder questions come up in 3U

monoprotic acid: an acid containing one ionizable hydrogen atom per molecule Is ionizable a word?

Really? My teacher was forever trying to convince us to do the 2U exams!

Dissociation: The separation of a solute into constituent ions

Hmm interesting, we both picked words that end with e. Electrolysis: The decomposition of a substance by an elcetric current

Miscible: Something that will mix homogeneously with another substance. Eg methanol and water

Heat capacity: The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1g a substance by 1k. Lol Dreamerish is right!!

If you're doing 4u and you're not sure that you want to keep it, you should do all the 2u assessments. They only reason that you should not do them is if you're DEFINATELY keeping ext 2. Your maths teacher should be able to arrange things so you can do the 2u exam as well as the ext 2 one. My...

Titrant: The solution in a titration that is being added to another chemical

Parallax error: The apparent displacement of an object as seen from two different points that are not on a line with the object. For eg, when viewing the meniscus of a liquid within a burette, the eye must be at the exact same level as the meniscus so that the volume scale can be read correctly

Lanthanides : The row of elements beneath the periodic table, from cerium to lutetium. Also called rare earths lol Dreamerish, that is really odd!!!

Anyhooo, to another question then... Describe the differences between the alkanol and alkanoic acid functional groups in carbon compounds

Spectator ion: An ion that is present during the course of an aqueous reaction but does not take part in the reaction. Never knew litmus came from lichen!

Separatory funnel: A pear-shaped glass funnel designed to permit the separation of immiscible liquids by pouring off the more dense liquid while leaving the less dense liquid in the funnel

I...Hmmmmmmmm Immiscible: 2 (or more) substances which cannot be mixed together Examples: oil and water, CH2Cl2 and water

Electrolyte: An ionic solution that conducts electricity. Mwa ha ha, and AGAIN with the E!
