Chapter 3/4 Flashcards
Limiting reagent
The reactant used up first in the reaction
Excess reagent
The reactant with leftovers after the reaction
Theoretical Yield
The amount of product that would result if all the limiting reagent reacted.
Actual Yield
The amount of product actually obtained from a reaction
Percent Yield
(actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100%
Solution
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of 2 or more substances.
Solute
The solute is (are) the substance(s) present in the smaller amount(s).
Solvent
The solvent is the substance present in the larger amount.
Electrolye
An electrolyte is a substance that, when dissolved in water, results in a solution that can conduct electricity.
Non-electrolyte
A non-electrolyte is a substance that, when dissolved in water, results in a solution that does not conduct electricity.
What conducts electricity in a solution?
Cations and anions
What makes a strong electrolyte?
A strong electrolyte undergoes 100% dissociation
NaCl (s) → Na+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
What makes a weak electrolyte?
A weak electrolyte does not undergo complete dissociation
CH3COOH ⇔ CH3COO- (aq) + H+ (aq)
Ionization
The formation of or separation into ions by heat, electrical discharge, radiation, or chemical reaction.
Hydration
Hydration is the process in which an ion is surrounded by water molecules arranged in a specific manner.
