Chapter 7 Flashcards
Electrolytes
Those compounds that dissociate into ions in aqueous solution and conduct electricity
Strong electrolytes
HCl
HNO3
HClO4
H2SO4
NaOH
Ba(OH)2
ionic compounds
Weak electrolytes
CH3COOH
HF
HNO2
NH3
H2O
A precipitation reaction
the formation of a solid from the mixing of two or more aqueous solutions
Solubility rules
Nitrates
Acetates
Group 1
Sulfates
Ammonium
Group 17
exceptions:
P (Pb, lead)
M (mercury, Hg)
S (silver, Ag)
Ca, Sr, Ba
Molecular Equation
Shows the reactants and products as undissociated compounds
Total Ionic Equation
All strong electrolytes shown as ions Do NOT dissociate separate phases (s, l, g)
Net Ionic Equation
Shows ONLY compounds that react
Eliminates spectator ions: ions that do not participate in the reaction directly
A Brønsted acid is a proton donor
A Brønsted base is a proton acceptor
Acids and bases occur in conjugate pairs
Acid loses a H+ to become the conjugate base
Base gains a H+ to become the conjugate acid
Predicting Products
AB + CD –> AD + CB
acid base reactions are double displacement reactions (just like precipitation), in which one of the cations is H+
Standard solution
solution of known concentration
Analyte
substance whose concentration is determined
Standardize
determine exact concentration of
Indicator
substance that changes color at (or near) the equivalence point
