chapter 6: Types of chemical reactions Flashcards
what is dissolution
When an ionic substance dissolves in water, the solvent pulls the individual ions from the crystal and solvates them
What is another name for dissolution?
dissociation
Why is an ionic salt soluble in water?
Because the interactions between ions and water are strong enough to overcome the lattice energy of the crystal
What does (aq) stand for
Aqueous solution
What does aqueous solution indicate
Hydration of the ions
Example of aqueous solution
NaCl —> (H2O) Na+ (aq) + Cl (aq)
What is a soluble compound
A substance that dissolves in water
What is insoluble compound
It does not dissolve in water
What do the differences in solubility of ionic compounds depend on
Attractions of the ions to one another and the attraction of the ions to the water molecules
what is a solution
homogenous mixture of 2 or more substances
what is a solvent
what does the dissolving
what is an aqueous solvent
water is the solvent
what is a solute
what is being dissolved
what is an electrolyte
dissociates into ions when dissolved in water
what is a nonelectrolyte
many dissolve in water but it does not dissociate
what does a material need to conduct electricity
charged particles
what is an electrolyte solution
all contain ions dissolved in water
what is a nonelectrolyte solution
contain whole molecules dissolved in water
what happens when strong electrolytes dissolve in water
dissociates completely
what happens when weak electrolytes dissolve in water
only partially dissociates
what types dissociate in water
strong electrolytes
strong electrolytes =
strong acids
what are strong acids
undergo ionization reactions to produce H+ ions and anions that are represented in balanced chemical equations
what are the 7 common strong acids
- ) sulfuric (H2SO4)
- ) hydrochloric (HCL)
- ) Hydrobromic (HBr)
- ) Perchloric (HClO4)
- ) Chloric (HClO3)
- ) Hydroiodic acid (HI)
- ) Nitric Acid (HNO3)
strong acids and bases are
soluble
what is a soluble ionic compound
strong electrolytes
What is a balanced equation
equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is the same for both the reactants and the products
what are weak acids
only partially dissociate, so they only
produce a low concentration of ions in solution
what equilibrium arrow is used for weak acids and bases
the one where it goes in both directions to show that the reaction does not complete
what are weak bases
partially dissociate
what categories can electrolytes be in
ionic or molecular
what are some examples of ionic strong electrolytes
soluble salts and strong bases
what is an example of a ionic nonelectrolyte
insoluble salts
what is an example of a molecular strong electrolyte
strong acids
what is an example of a weak molecular electrolyte
weak acids and weak bases
what is an example of a molecular nonelectrolyte
all other compounds
what is concentration
designates the amount of solute
dissolved in a given quantity of solvent or quantity of
solution
what is molarity
one way to measure the concentration of
a solution
what is the formula for Molarity (M)
moles of solute/ volume of solution in liters
what is the first step for making a concentrated solution
one weighs out a known
mass (which can be convert to
number of moles) of the solute
what is the 2nd step for making a concentrated solution
solute is added to a
volumetric flask, and solvent is
added to the line on the neck of
the flask
what is a stock solution
Solutions that are used routinely
in the lab are often prepared (or
purchased)
what is diluted
Solutions of lower concentrations
