Chapter 4 Flashcards
Solvent
Component of a solution that is present in the greatest amount
Solute
any component in the solution other than the solvent
ppm of a solution component
Mass of component/total mass of solution•10^6
ppb of component
mass of component in solution/total mass of solution•10^9
Stock solution
A concentrated solution of a substance used to prepare solutions of lower concentrated
Dilution
The profess of lowering the concentration of a solution by adding more solvent. Number of moles of solution does not change, only volume
Vi•Mi=Vd•Md=n
n=number of moles of solute present in the solution
Mixing solution of 2 different substances
Mfa=MiaVa/(Va+Vb)
Mfb=MibVb/(Va+Vb)
Mixing 2 solutions of the same substance
Mf=(M1V1+M2V2)/(V1+V2)
Beer’s law definition, equation and variable meanings
Intensity of color can be used to measure concentrations of solution
A=ebc
A=Absorbance
e=molar absorptivity(actually looks like backwards 3)
b=path length
c=concentration
Electrolytes+types
Substances that break into ions when they are dissolved in water
Strong electrolytes: Completely(nearly) ionize: consist of strong acids, strong based and soluble salts. Conduct currents efficiently
Weak electrolytes: Partially ionized: weak acids and bases. Slightly conductive
Nonelectrolytes: substances that do not break into ions when they are dissolved in water. Sugar, enthanol, ethylene
Acids and bases definitions
Acids
Arrhenius: acids yield H+ ions when dissolved in wayer
Bronsted and Lowry: Acids are proton donors
Bases
Arrhenius: Yield OH- ions when dissolved in water
Bronsted and Lowry: Bases are proton acceptors
Amphiprotic
Substance or ions that acts as an acid or a base
Neutralization reaction
a reaction that takes place when and acid and base react to produce a salt and water
Salt
Product of a neutralization(acid/base) reaction, made up of a cation base plus an anion acid. Salts are ionic
Molecular equations
Reactants/Products are written as undissociated molecules
Overall ionic equations
Distinguish between molecular/ionic substances, ionic species are represented as dissolved ions
Net ionic equations
Remove spectator ions(ions present in reactants and products)
Nonmetal oxides
Form acids in a hydrolysis reaction
Titration
An analytical method to determine concentration of a solute in a sample by reacting it with a standard solution
Standard solution
a solution of known solution, also called a titrant
Equivalence point
point when moles of added titrant are stoichiometrically equivalent to moles of substance being analyzex
End point
Point reached when indicator changes color
Indicator
Weak acid/weak base that changes color when titrating
Precipitate
Solid product formed from a reaction in solution, precipitate formula can be predicted based on solubility rules
Soluble cations
Group 1 ions and NH4+
Soluble anions
Nitrate, acetate, perchlorate
Cl-, Br- and I- unless bonded to Ag+, Cu+, Pb2+ or (Hg2)2+
Sulfates except sulfates of Pb2+, (Hg2)2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Sr2+
Insoluble compounds
All hydroxides except group 1, Ca, Sr and Ba hydroxides
All sulfides except group 1 and NH4+, CaS, SrS and BaS
All carbonates except group 1 and NH4+
All phosphates except group 1 and NH4+
Solubility of fluorides/chlorides
Soluble: Silver fluoride, H2F2
Poor solubility: MgF2, CaF2
A combination of which two compounds results in a precipitate?
Insoluble anion+insoluble cation
Metathesis reaction
Double displacement precipitation reaction
Redox reactions/Oxidation/reduction definitions
Oxidation: Increase oxygen, lose electrons, increase oxidation number
Reduction: Loss of oxygen, gain electrons, decrease oxidation number
Redox reactions: gain/lose electrons
Oxidation numbers for:
- Pure elements
- Monoatomic ion
- Fluorine
- Br and Cl
- H and O
- 0
- Charge of ion
- -1
- -1 unless combined with O or F
- H=+1, Oxygen=-2(except peroxides, O=-1)
Oxidizing/reducing agents
Reducing agent: Oxidized
Oxidizing agent: reduced
Which elements are active metals? noble metals?
Active: Alkali, alkaline earth metals
noble metals: group 11, Cu, Ag, Au and neighboring metals in periods 5 and 6
