Chapter 7 & 8 Flashcards
— process in which a substance (s) changes into another substance (s) by rearrangement, combination, or separation of atoms
Chemical Reactions
— equations that are:
reactants —> products
Chemical Equations
4 states
- (S) — solid
- (g) — gas
- (l) — liquid
4.(aq) — aqueous solution
— same # of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation
Balanced
— mass of rations = mass of products
Laviosier’s Law of Conservation of Matter
— in chemical equations, tells us moles
Coefficients
— relationship between the quantities of chemical reactants & products
Stoichiometry
— burning of a fuel in oxygen accompanied by evolution of heat & light
*gives off heat & light *
*burns in O2 —> CO2 & H2O
Combustion Reactions
— reactant that determines the amount of products that can be formed; run out of 1st.
Limiting Reactant
Percent Yield
= (actual yield/ theoretical yield) x 100%
— amount of a substance in a mixture can be determined if it is used as a limiting reactant in a reaction & the product quantified
Chemical Analysis
— dissolved in water
Aqueous Solution
— solvent of life
— common lab solvent for general chemistry
Water (H2O)
— substances whose aqueous solutions conduct electricity
Electrolytes
— ion “separates” or dissociates completely in water
100% dissolved into ions
Ex) NaCl
Strong Electrolytes
