chapter 4---chem 103 Flashcards
Reactions in Aqueous Solutions
molarity
number of moles of a substance (solute) dissolved in enough solvent to make 1L of solution
molarity formula
moles of substance/liters of solution
what is the solvent
what the substance is dissolved in
what is the solute
the concentrated solution that is placed in the solvent
electrolytes
Substances that dissolve in water to produce conducting solutions of ions
nonelectrolytes
substances that don’t produce ions in an aqueous solution
dissociates
compound that splits apart when in water
strong electrolyte
compounds that dissociate to a large extent (70-100%)
weak electrolytes
Compounds that dissociate in a small extent
Precipitation reactions
soluble reactants form an insoluble solid (precipitate)
typically occurs when anions and cations switch partners
Acid-base neutralization reactions
Acid reacts with a base to yield a water and salt
oxidation reduction reaction/redox reactions
1+ electrons are transferred between reaction partners
EX: Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) —-> MgCl2(aq) + H2 (g
molecular equation
written using complete formulas as if they were in moles w/ state abbreviation
ionic equation
all ions are explicitly shown
spectator ion
on both sides of the reaction to balance
net ionic equation
remove spectator ions from the equation
solubility
how much a compound can result in amount of solvent at a given temperature
Low solubility typically forms what type of a state
precipitate (s)
what measurement determines whether a concentration is soluble
0.01 M or greater
Every acid has what element in it
hydrogen
acid
substance that dissociates with water to give hydrogen ions (H+)
base
substance that dissociates in water to give hydroxide ions (HO-)
Strong acids
acids that dissociate to a large extent
weak acids
acids that dissociate to a small extent
