Science Times crossword puzzles
Across
- 1. Law: The principle that equal volumes of gases, at the same temperature and pressure, contain the same number of particles (moles).
- 3. titration: A laboratory technique used to determine the concentration of an acid or base solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration.
- 7. The time required for half of the radioactive nuclei in a sample to undergo radioactive decay.
- 8. dissociation constant (Ka): A measure of the strength of an acid in solution, defined as the ratio of the concentration of the dissociated ions to the concentration of the undissociated acid.
- 10. energy: The minimum energy required for a chemical reaction to occur and for reactant molecules to transform into products.
- 11. equation: An equation that relates the rate constant of a reaction to the temperature and activation energy.
- 13. Law: The principle that the total enthalpy change of a chemical reaction is independent of the pathway taken, as long as the initial and final conditions are the same.
- 16. The repeating pattern of chemical and physical properties of elements based on their atomic number.
- 19. The ability of an atom to attract shared electrons in a chemical bond.
- 20. gas law: The equation that describes the behavior of an ideal gas: PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is temperature.
Down
- 2. (redox) reaction: A chemical reaction involving the transfer of electrons from one species (reducing agent) to another (oxidizing agent).
- 4. product constant (Ksp): The equilibrium constant for the dissolution of a sparingly soluble compound into its constituent ions in a solution.
- 5. The process of using an electric current to drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction, usually the decomposition of a compound into its constituent elements.
- 6. decay: The process in which an unstable atomic nucleus undergoes spontaneous radioactive decay, emitting particles or electromagnetic radiation.
- 9. free energy: A thermodynamic property that measures the maximum amount of reversible work that can be performed by a system at constant temperature and pressure.
- 12. energy: The amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom or ion in the gas phase.
- 14. Law: The principle that at constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure (P1V1 = P2V2).
- 15. equilibrium: The state in a reversible chemical reaction where the forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates, resulting in no net change in reactant and product concentrations.
- 17. radius: The size of an atom, typically measured as the distance between the nucleus and the outermost electron shell.
- 18. mass: The mass of one mole of a substance, often expressed in grams per mole (g/mol).
