Chapter 7 - Chemical Reactions Flashcards
Combustion Reactions
- a substance reacts w O, emitting heat and forming one or more O-containing compounds
- type of Oxidation-Reduction Rxn
Precipitation Reactions
reactions in aqueous solutions that form a precipitate (a solid) when two aqueous solutions are mixed
Signs of a Chem Rxn
- color change
- emission of light
- formation of solid
- emission/absorptionof heat
- formation of gas
Reactants
substances on the left side of the chem equations
Products
substances on the right side that are often the outcome
Balanced Equation
in which the numbers of each type of atoms on both sides of the equation are equal
-to balance an equation, we insert coefficients in front of the chem formulas
Aqueous Solution
- homogenous mixture of a substance with water
Strong Electrolyte Solutions
-substances that completely dissociate into ionis in solutions are strong electrolytes
Soluble
a compound is soluble in a particular liquid if it dissolves in the liquid
Insoluble
a compound is insoluble if it DOES NOT dissolve in liquid
Solubility Rules
Li, Na, K, NH4, NO3, C2H3O2 - solulable
Cl, Br, I - soluble except w Ag, Hg, or Pb
SO4 - soluble except w Ca, Sr, Ba, or Pb
Insoluble Compounds
OH, S - except w Li, Na, K, NH4, Ca, Sr, Ba
CO3, PO4 except w Li, Na, K, NH4
Soluble Ions w no exceptions (5)
Li, Na, K, NH4, NO3, C2H3O2
Precipitate
a solid that is formed from a reaction
-only insoluble compounds form precipitate
Molecular Equations
completely neutral formulas for every compound in the reaction
