Glossary

The programm I am studying in at Cegep St-Laurent is called Pure and Applied Science. More precisely, classes are more about Chemestry, Physics an Maths. This glossary is more about Chemistery of Solutions, because this subject has a lot of interesting definitions important to understand. .

Aqueous solution
It is a solution where the solvent is H20.
Density
It is a way to characterize something tangible by its mass devided by its volume.
Enthalpy
It is a quantity of energy absorbed or released necessary to a reaction.
Entropy
It is a measure that portrays the level of disorder.
Molality
It is a way to characterize something tangible by its quantity devided by its solvent's mass.
Molarity
It is a way to characterize something tangible by its quantity in moles devided by its solvent's volume.
Neutralization
It is the reaction of an acid and base making a neutral solution wich is neither acid or basic.
Non-electrolytes
It is a substance dissolving itself in water without producing ions. So it doesn't conduct electricity.
Normality
It is a way to charactarize a solute by its equivalent devided by its volume.
Precipitation
It is a solid formed by a reaction in a soultion.
Saturated solution
It is a solution containing its maximum quantity of dissolvable solute.
Solubility
It is a measure that portrays the maximum level of solute that can be dissolved.
Solute
It is the substance getting dissolved in a certain solution.
Solution
It is the mix of two or more subtances. It can be gaseous, liquid or solid.
Solvent
It is the substance dissolving a solute in a certain solution.
Stoichiometry
It is the way to right a reaction with its right proportions.
Strong electrolytes
It is a substance dissolving itself completely in water by producing ions. So it conducts electricity.
Supersaturated solution
It is a solution containing more than its maximum quantity of dissolvable solute.
Voltage
It is the difference of potential measured in volts.
Weak electrolytes
It is a substance dissolving itself in water by producing moderately ions. So it doesn't conducts electricity much.

3 Useful Websites for Pure and Applied Science Students

Image
There is at our school, many fields of studies you can study in. In Cégep de St-Laurent, the school I am going to, people can take the choice of Pure and Applied sciences as I did. This program of two year gives you the option to continue in this path for University. It has science courses as chemistry, mathematics and physics in addition to the basic courses. Knowing that the courses are far from being the easiest one, some websites can be very useful for performing and getting good grades in those courses. 1. Understand what you are studying with some definitions. Not knowing a word can easily stop you from studying. A rich vocabulary is needed to understand the subject transmitted by the teacher. ThoughtCo. and its glossary helps a lot for studying and doing homework in chemistry. Its article titled A to Z Chemistry Dictionary includes all the words you know for a college level of chemistry, and even more. Because it is in an alphabetical order, the words can be simply found. ...

My Field of Study Studying in Cégep Saint-Laurent in Pure and Applied Sciences, I am thinking about a job linked at this field of study. I think of being a teacher in physics or mathematics. 24 Hours of Work for a Teacher The largest part of teachers work in an elementary or high school.   They teach a certain field of study or are assigned at students of a certain age. In advance of their course, they need to prepare a specific program adapted to their students’ capacity. Because classes starts early, teachers need to get the attention of every student, even the one with sleep deprivation. Being funny can generate interest for the people having difficulty maintaining attention in class. Even if the children or teenagers in the classroom find the subject boring, having the capacity to develop their interest for the course is an art and is a great honour for the teacher in front. Every teacher should be able to push their students to there limits to no hamper them ...
