Le Chatelier's Principle
States that a system at equilibrium, or striving to attain equilibrium, responds in such a way as to counteract any stress placed upon it.
If a stress (change of conditions) is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system shifts in the direction that reduces stress.
Critical Pressure
The pressure required to liquefy a gas (vapor) at its critical temperature.
Turning iron nail into copper nail
This simple chemical experiment shows the so-called process of copper plating of metal products. Copper has the ability to deposit on a metal surface.
Chemical Bonds
The attractive forces that hold atoms together in elements or compounds.
Absolute Entropy (of a substance)
The increase in the entropy of a substance as it goes from a perfectly ordered crystalline form at 0 °K (where its entropy is zero) to the temperature in question.
Entropy is a measure of the “dilution” of thermal energy.
Matter
Anything that has mass and occupies space.
Safranine
Also called "phenosafranine". A purplish-red, water-soluble dye, C18H14N4, used for textiles and as a stain in microscopy.
Formula Weight
The mass of one formula unit of a substance in atomic mass units.
Reaction Stoichiometry
Description of the quantitative relationships among substances as they participate in chemical reactions.
Liquid Aerosol
Colloidal suspension of liquid in gas.
