Net ionic equation

A

A complete ionic equation with spectator ions cancelled out

A shorthand way of showing what ions react

35
Q

Gravimetric Analysis

A

Make aqueous solution with unknown substance

React unknown with known –> form precipitate

Filter & dry precipitate

Weigh precipitate

Use chemical formula and mass of precipitate to determine amount of unknown ion

36
Q

Acid properties (6)

A
  • sour taste
  • blue litmus paper –> red (red means acid)
  • reacts with certain metals to produce H2 (g) (as H is less reactive than most metals and displaced)
  • reacts with carbonates and bicarbonates to produce CO2 gas
  • reacts with bases to produce salt and water (neutralization)
  • aqueous acid solutions conduct electricity
37
Q

Base properties (5)

A
  • bitter taste

Must contain at least one ionizable proton

42
Q

Brønsted base

A

Proton acceptor (acceptor = base)

43
Q

Acid ionization

A 
Acids = molecular compounds
Ionization = ion formation in solution from compound + H<sub>2</sub>O reaction

Thus:

  • Acid molecules are pulled apart by attraction for water
  • When acids ionize, H+ and counter anions form
  • % of acid molecules that ionize varies
