CHEMISTRY GLOSSARY
colligative properties → koligativna svojstva
Colligative properties are properties which affect a solvent based on the number of molecules of solute present such as melting point, boiling point and osmotic pressure.
condensational polymerisation → kondenzacijska polimerizacija
Condensational polymerisation is a reaction of polymerisation in which monomers together create a polymer by losing small molecules like water.
conjugated protein → konjugirani protein
Conjugated proteins are proteins which have a prostetic group as a part of their structure which is bonded with one or more amino acids of the same protein.
covering power → prekrivna moć
Covering power is the ability of a plating solution under a set of specified plating conditions to deposit metal on the surfaces of recesses or deep holes. This term suggests an ability to cover, but not necessarily to build up, a uniform coating.
cathodic protection → katodna zaštita
Cathodic protection is a process in which a structural metal, such as iron, is protected from corrosion by connecting it to a metal that has a more negative reduction half-cell potential, which now corrodes instead of iron. There are two major variations of the cathodic method of corrosion protection. The first is called the impressed current method, and the other is called the sacrificial anode method.
cell potential → potencijal članka
Cell potential (E) is difference between anode and cathode potential. If the cell potential is positive, then the reaction is spontaneous.
cyanide process → cijanidni postupak
Cyanide process is a method for separating a metal from an ore. Crushed ore is treated with cyanide ion to produce a soluble metal cyanide complex. The complex is washed out of the ore and reduced to metallic form using an active metal (usually zinc).
decomposition potential → potencijal razlaganja
Decomposition potential of some system is the smallest voltage which should be applied so that electrolysis occurs.
degree of polymerisation → stupanj polimerizacije
Degree of polymerisation is the number of monomeric units in a macromolecule or an oligomer molecule.
depression of freezing point → snižavanje ledišta
Depression of freezing point of a pure solvent is observed when substances are dissolved in it. The amount by which the freezing point is depressed is proportional to the number of molecules of solute and independent of their nature.
