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)
