CH. 4 Flashcards
what is the component of the solution that is present in the greatest quantity called
solvent
solutions are made of what 2 things
solvent, solute
any substance whose aqueous solutions contains ions and increases the conductivity of water is called an
eletrolyte
any substance that forms a solution containing no ions is a
nonelectrolyte
electrolytes that are present in solution entirely as ions are
strong electrolytes
electrolytes that are present party as ions and partly as molecules
weak electrolytes
ionic compounds dissociate into ions when they dissolve, making them
strong electrolytes
most molecular compounds are
nonelectrolytes
reactions in which cations and anions appear to exchange partners are called
exchange reactions (metathesis reactions)
___ are proton donors (increase the concentration of H+ in aqueous solns)
acids
___ are proton acceptors (increase the concentration of OH- in aqueous solns)
bases
acids and bases that are strong electrolytes are called
strong acids, strong bases
acids and bases that are weak electrolytes are called
weak acids, weak bases
neutralization reactions between acid and metal hydroxide produce what 2 things
water, salt
redox reactions between metals and acids as well as those between metals and salts are called
displacement reactions
products of displacement reactions is always what 2 things
element, salt
list of metals arranged in order of decreasing ease of oxidation
