chapter 4 Flashcards
a solution…
is made of a smaller quantity of one substance (solute) dissolved in a larger quantity of another substance (solvent)
What is a solvent?
The substance in a solution that is in the solution that does dissolving (usually water)
What is a solute?
The substance that gets disolved
What is an aqueous solution?
Solutions in which water is the solvent
what is concentration?
The quantity of solute present in a given quantity of soln.
what is the formula for concentration?
Molarity= number of moles of solute (n)/ volume of solution in L (V)
what is the dilution formula?
C1V1=C2V2
what type of displacement reaction are preciptitation reactions?
Double displacement reaction
What is the general formula of precipitation reactions?
AB + CD = AD + CB
when do precipitation reactions occur?
When two ionic compounds are dissolved in water
What do precipitation reactions form?
a new insoluble (or nearly insoluble solid)
what is the solid that falls out of a solution called?
the precipitate
Define molecular equation
It shows all reactants and products as if they were intact, dissociated compounds (including states of matter)
what’s an example of a molecular equation ?
NaCl (aq) + AgNo3 (aq) = NaNO3 (aq) + AgCl (s)
Define total iconic equation
Shows ALL soluble ionic substances dissociated into ions
What is an example of total ionic equation?
Na + (aq) + Cl- (aq) + Ag+ (aq) + NO3- (aq) = Na + (aq) + NO3- (aq) + AgCl (s)
what stays together in total ionic equations?
The precipitate (solids) and compounds ?
Define spectator ions
Appear on both sides of the arrow. They are ions that are not involved in the chemical reaction making the precipitate.
