[Emma-Jayde]

Litmus paper: An indicator which turns red in the presence of acids and blue in the presence of bases

 

[Budz]

Synthetic: not occuring naturally

 

[Jaydels]

catalytic cracking- breaking long chain hydrocarbons into smaller chain hydrocarbons with smaller molecular weight

 

[Budz]

radio isotope: a radioactive isotope

 

[Will Hunting]

Carboxylic Acid - Acid containing the COOH functional group

 

[Emma-Jayde]

Electrode: An electrical conductor that forms one terminal of a cell. Can be either an anode or a cathode

 

[Budz]

gamma radiation- highfrequency em radiation

 

[Budz]

omg u guys are too fast

 

[Emma-Jayde]

Whoa, this is so not working very well!!!

 

[Will Hunting]

Nuclear Fission - The division of a nucleus through bombardment by neutrons

 

[Emma-Jayde]

Nernst equation: An equation relating the potential of an electrochemical cell to the concentrations of the electrolytes in the cell.

 

[Will Hunting]

Nickel-Cadmium Cell - Cell whose electrochemical capacity can be restored through electrolysis such that current direction reverses. Emma, stay in HSC course (Unless it's from Shipwrecks and Salvage - not doing that option )

 

[Budz]

limus paper: Indicator

 

[Emma-Jayde]

Cell potential: The electric potential required to move an electron from the anode to the cathode

Damn, where's the fun in that!!! lol sorry!

 

[Jaydels]

Le Chatelier's Principle- "If a system at equilibrium is disturbed, then the system adjusts itself so as to minimise the disturbance"

 

[Will Hunting]

Refluxing - Attaching a condesing apparatus to a beaker in which esterification is taking place to preserve volatile reactants and product

 

[Emma-Jayde]

Heh, whoops, 'c' sure is the last letter of 'cell'....

 

[Will Hunting]

Lol; I thought you were trying to break easy with the "C" from Cadmium lol

 

[Emma-Jayde]

Ahh well, from "refluxing"

Gravimetric analysis: determining the exact mass of both the mixture and a particular substance within the mixture.

Yeah, lol, this is why I'm a maths/science/music student and not an english one!!! Death to english as far as I'm concerned!

 

[Jaydels]

steam cracking- non-catalytic process where a mixture of alkanes with steam is passed through hot metal tubes to break alkanes into small alkenes
