Chemistry - Chemical Thermodynamics

CHEMICAL THERMODYNAMICS (thermo = heat, dynamics = movement, so, heat
movement) is the study of energy and its interconversions.

Chemistry - Mass%

MASS % is the ratio of the mass of a component to the total mass of a sample times 100.
Mass % = (# g solute / # g solution) x 100.

Chemistry - Homogeneous Mixtures

HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURES have only one phase. They have the same properties throughout a sample, although the properties of different samples may be
different.
