The visible surface, also known as the exposed surface, refers to the outermost layer or boundary of an object or substance that is visible to the naked eye or through the use of optical instruments. In the context of chemistry, the visible surface of a material or substance is of particular interest when studying properties such as reactivity, surface area, and interactions with other substances.
Adsorption and Desorption: The visible surface of materials influences their capacity to adsorb or desorb gases, liquids, or solutes in solution, which is important in areas such as catalysis and environmental remediation.
Investigate real-world applications where the visibility of a surface impacts its functionality or performance in a chemical process or industrial setting.
Use mathematics and computational thinking to express the concentrations of solutions quantitatively using molarity.
Use the concept of pH as a model to predict the relative properties of strong, weak, concentrated, and dilute acids and bases (e.g., Arrhenius and Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases).
