Chapter Four: Aqueous Reactions and Solution Stoichiometry Flashcards
Homogenous mixtures of two or more pure substances
Solutions
The substance present in greatest abundance
Solvent
All other substances present in a mixture
Solutes
The process that occurs when an ionic compound dissolves in water, the solvent pulls the individual ions from the compound
Dissociation
A substance that dissociates into ions when dissolved in water
Electrolyte
This may dissolve in water, but it does not dissociate into ions while doing so
Nonelectrolyte
NaCl is a…
Strong Electrolyte
HF is a…
Weak Electrolyte
Sugar is a…
Nonelectrolyte
What are the three things that could be a Strong Electrolyte?
- Soluble Salts
- Strong Acids
- Strong Bases
What are the three things that are Weak Electrolytes?
- Slightly Soluble Salts
- Weak Acids
- Weak Bases
Dissociates completely in water HCl (aq) —> H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
Strong Electrolyte
Only partially dissociates in water. Its equations indicate a chemical equilibrium, where a reaction can go both forward and backward. C2H3O2H (aq) —> <— H+ (aq) + C2H3O2- (aq)
Weak Electrolyte
Ionic compounds in which the cation = H+, so: (H+)(X-)
Acids
What are the seven strong acids?
- Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)
- Hydrobromic Acid (HBr)
- Hydroiodic Acid (HI)
- Nitric Acid (HNO3)
- Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4)
- Chloric Acid (HCLO3)
- Perchloric Acid (HCLO4)
