Chapter 4 Flashcards
Stoichiometery
the study of weight relationships in balanced chemical reactions
formula weight
the same thing as molar mass
percent yield
actual yield
——————————– x 100%
theoretical yield
molarity
moles of solute
——————————– = M
Liter of solution
electrolytes
ions dissolved in water. can conduct electricity
strong electrolytes
ions that completely dissociate in water
weak electrolytes
ions that partially dissociate in water
_____ dissolve in water without dissociating
molecules (such as sugar)
covalent compounds dissolve in water if ___
they can form hydrogen bonds with water AND the molecules are small
compounds that dissolve without dissociating are called
non-electrolytes
precipitation reactions occur when
a solid (precipitate) forms when two solutions mix
polyprotic acids contain
more than one ionizable proton
when you mix an acid with a base _____
the H+ combines with the OH- to produce H2O.
an acid + a base always yields a salt + water
titration
a technique for determining how much total acid or base is present in a solution
oxidation
the process of losing electrons
