CHEMISTRY GLOSSARY
acid-base titration → kiselo-bazna titracija
Acid-base titration is an analytical technique in volumetric analysis, where an acid of known concentration is used to neutralise a known volume of a base, and the observed volume of the acid required is used to determine the unknown concentration of the base. An acid-base indicator is used to determine the end-point of the titration.
air stripping → zračni striping
Air stripping is a process for the removal of volatile organic contaminants from groundwater. The groundwater flows downward inside a tower filled with materials (the packing) over a large surface area. Air is introduced at the bottom of the tower and is forced upward past the falling water. The volatiles evaporate from the water and are collected in air filters or released to the atmosphere.
Avogadro, Amadeo → Avogadro, Amadeo
Amadeo Avogadro (1776-1856) is an Italian chemist and physicist that proposed a correct molecular explanation for Gay-Lussac’s law of combining volumes. His work provided a simple way to determine atomic weights and molecular weights of gases. He is published a theory about the movement of particles in gases that became known as Avogadro’s Law.
Avogadro’s law → Avogadrov zakon
Avogadro’s law: Equal volumes of all gases contain equal numbers of molecules at the same pressure and temperature. The law, often called Avogadro’s hypothesis, is true only for ideal gases. It was proposed in 1811 by Italian chemist Amadeo Avogadro (1776-1856).
benzaldehyde → benzaldehid
Benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO) is a colourless volatile oily liquid. M.p. -26 °C, b.p. 178.1 °C. It is used in flavourings, perfumery and dyestuffs industry.
chlorosity → klorocitet
Chlorosity is the quantity determined by volumetric methods and is defined in the same manner as chlorinity except that the sample unit is 1 L of sea water rather than 1 kg of sea water weighed in vacuo.
conductometry → konduktometrija
Conductometry is a volumetric analytic method in which the end of titration (equivalent point) is defined by an electric conductivity appliance.
aqua regia → zlatotopka
Aqua regia is a mixture of one volume part of nitric acid (HNO3) and three volume parts of hydrochloric acid (HCl). Dissolving of gold in aqua regia is described by the following equation:
