Chapters 7,8 & 9.2 Flashcards
stoichiometry
the study of the quantitative relationships among the amounts of reactants used and the amounts of products formed in a chemical reaction
mole ratio
the ratio of the amounts (in moles) of any two substances in a balanced chemical equation
stoichiometric amounts
the exact molar amount of a reactant or produce, as predicted by a balanced equation
limiting reactant
a reactant that is completely consumed during a chemical reaction, limiting the amount of produce that is produced
excess reactant
a reactant that remains after a reaction is over
theoretical yield
the amount of produce that is predicted by stoichiometric calculations
actual yiel
the actual amount of product that is recovered after a reaction is complete
competing reaction
a reaction that occurs along with the principal reaction and that involved the reactants and/or products of the principal reaction
solution
a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances
solvent
the component of a solution that is present in the greatest amount
solute
a substance that is dissolved in a solvent
aqueous solution
a solution that contains water
solubility
the maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in a given quantity of solvent at a specific temperature
saturated solution
a solution that cannot dissolve more solute
unsaturated solution
a solution that could dissolve more solute
supersaturated solution
a solution that contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution at the same temperature
hydrogen bonding
the attraction between a hydrogen atom on one molecule and a very electronegative atom on another molecule
hydration
the process in which water molecule surround the molecules or ions of a solute
rate of dissolving
a measure of how quickly a solute dissolves in a solvent
concentration
the ratio of the quantity of solute to the quantity of solvent or the quantity of solution
concentrated
having a high ratio of solute to solution
dilute
having a low ratio of solute to solution
percent (m/v)
a ratio of the mass of solute to the volume of solution, expressed as a percent
percent (m/m)
a ratio of mass of solute to mass of solution, expressed as a percent
percent (v/v)
a ratio of the volume of solute to the volume of solution, expressed as a percent
parts per million (ppm)
a ratio of solute to solution x 10^6
parts per billion (ppb)
a ratio of solute to solution x 10^9
molar concentration
the amount (in moles) of solute dissolved in 1 L of solution
standard solution
a solution with a known concentration
volumetric flask
glassware that is used to make a liquid solution with an accurate volume
solution stoichiometry
stoichiometry that is applied to substances in solutions
quantitative analysis
an analysis that determines how much of a substance is in a sample
