CHEMISTRY GLOSSARY
titrant → titrant
Titrant is the substance that quantitatively reacts with the analyte in a titration. The titrant is usually a standard solution added carefully to the analyte until the reaction is complete. The amount of analyte is calculated from the volume and concentration of titrant required for the complete reaction.
hydration → hidratacija
Hydration is addition of water or the elements of water (i.e. H and OH) to a molecular entity. The term is also used in a more restricted sense for the process:
hydrophobic interaction → hidrofobne interakcije
Hydrophobic interaction is the tendency of hydrocarbons (or of lipophilic hydrocarbon-like groups in solutes) to form intermolecular aggregates in an aqueous medium, and analogous intramolecular interactions. The name arises from the attribution of the phenomenon to the apparent repulsion between water and hydrocarbons. Use of the misleading alternative term hydrophobic bond is discouraged.
indicator → indikator
Indicator is a substance used to show the presence of a chemical substance or ion by its colour. Acid-base indicators are compounds, such as phenolphtaleine and methyl orange, which change colour reversibly, depending on whether the solution is acidic or basic. Oxidation-reduction indicators are substances that show a reversible colour change between oxidised and reduced forms.
indicator electrode → indikatorska elektroda
Indicator electrode is working in one of the electrodes in some classical two-electrode cells, e.g., in a potentiometric electroanalytical setup where the potential of the measuring electrode (against a reference electrode) is a measure of the concentration (more accurately activity) of a species in the solution.
unit cell → jedinična ćelija
Unit cell is the smallest fragment of the structure of a solid that by repetition can generate the entire structure.
vapour pressure → tlak pare
Vapour pressure is the pressure of a gas in equilibrium with a liquid (or, in some usage, a solid) at a specified temperature.
vapour pressure lowering → snižavanje tlaka pare
Vapour pressure is a colligative property of solutions. The vapour pressure of a solution is always lower than the vapour pressure of the pure solvent. Ratio of solution to pure solvent vapour pressures is approximately equal to the mole fraction of solvent in the solution.
ion selective electrode → ion selektivne elektrode
Ion selective electrode (ISE) is an electrode or electrode assembly with a potential that is dependent on the concentration of an ionic species in the test solution and is used for electroanalysis. Ion-selective electrodes are often membrane type electrodes.
