Chapter 4 Flashcards
chemical reaction
reactants –> products
look for: color change, formation of a solid (precipitate), evolution of a gas, evolution/absorption of heat
REMEMBER TO BALANCE EQUATIONS
that is all
also remember to put the state of matter
reaction conditions
written above/below the arrow
-delta (triangle) means a high temperature is required
stoichoimetry
moles A x (stoichiometric coefficient of B)/(stoichiometric coefficient of A) –> moles B
stuff in the middle = stoichiometric factor
solvent
where the reaction takes place
eg. aqueous solution = liquid water is solvent
solutes
the stuff dissolved in a solvent
molarity
M = n/V (moles/L)
dilution
when a volume of a solution is diluted, the amount of solute remains constant
MiVi = MfVf
theoretical yield
calculated quantity
percent yield
actual/theoretical x 100
intermediate
substance produced in one step and consumed in another step
