Ch. 3.5-5.6 Flashcards
solute
the substance dissolved in the solvent (ex: NaCl)
solvent
the substance that dissolves the solute (ex: H2O)
molarity
moles of solute/L of solution
all common compounds of group 1A(1) ions (Li+, Na+, K+, etc.) and ammonium ion (NH4+)
soluble ionic compounds
all common nitrates (NO3-), acetates (CH3COO- or C2H3O2-), and most perchlorates (ClO4-)
soluble ionic compounds
all common chlorides (Cl-), bromides (Br-), and iodides (I-), except those of Ag+, Pb2+, Cu+, and Hg22+
soluble ionic compounds
all common fluorides (F-), except those of Pb2+ and group 2A(2)
soluble ionic compounds
all common sulfates (SO42-), except those of Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Ag+, and Pb2+
soluble ionic compounds
all common metal hydroxides, except those of group 1A(1) and the larger members of group 2A(2) (beginning with Ca2+)
insoluble ionic compounds
all common carbonates (CO32-) and phosphates (PO43-), except those of group 1A(1), group 2A(2), and NH4+
insoluble ionic compounds
strong acids
acid that dissociates 100% in solution ex: HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, H2SO4, HClO4
weak acids
acid that only dissociates some in solution. ex: HF, H3PO4, CH3COOH
strong bases
base that dissociates 100% in solution. ex: NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, Ba(OH)2
weak bases
base that only dissociates some in solution. ex: NH3
oxidation
lose electrons - can identify when you see an increase in oxidation number
reduction
gain electrons - can identify when you see a decrease in oxidation number
oxidizing agent
oxidizes something else and is reduced in the process (oxidation number decreases)
reducing agent
reduces something else and is oxidized in the process (oxidation number increases)
oxidation number
the charge an atom would have if it “owned” all the electrons it shares with other atoms
general oxidation number rules
- O.N. = 0 for an atom in its elemental form
- O.N. = ion charge for a monatomic ion
- O.N. = 0 for the sum of O.N. values for the atoms in a molecule or formula unit of a compound
- O.N. = ions charge for the sum of O.N. values for the atoms in a polyatomic ion
specific O.N. rule for group 1A(1)
O.N. = +1 in all compounds
specific O.N. rule for group 2A(2)
O.N. = +2 in all compounds
specific O.N. rule for hydrogen
O.N. = +1 in combination with nonmetals O.N. = -1 in combination with metals and boron
specific O.N. rule for fluorine
O.N. = -1 in all compounds
