Chem Final Sem 2 Flashcards
Oxidation numbers, what are they?
+ or - charge on atom or group of atoms
Give two examples of an element or polyatomic ion with its oxidation number
Na+,
List the prefixes in order from 1 through 9
1- Mono
2- Di
3- Tri
4- Tetra
5- Penta
6- Hexa
7- Hepta
8- Octa
9- Nona
Greek prefixes – what do they tell us?
The number of whatever the item is
Compound naming: you should be able to use your Ion Chart and be able to name binary ionic
compounds!
SbN
Antimony (III) Nitride
What does binary mean
2 parts
What does ionic mean
Atom loses electron to other when they bond
What is cation and which part of formula do you see it
Positive ion, in very front
LiH which is cation
Li
Formula for sodium benzoate
Na2C7H6O2
Formula for magnesium acetate
Mg(C2H3O2)2
Formula for Iron (III) chloride and Iron (II) chloride
Iron (III) chloride- FeCl3
Iron (II) chloride- FeCl2
What’s the difference between Iron (III) and Iron (II)
+2 vs +3 charge (oxidation #)
What is stock system of naming compounds and give examples
Iron (II) oxide
Antimony(III) Phosphide
Why is it important to balance the + and - charges of ions in a formula
Balances to 0 which is neutral and less likely to react
Water can and does attach itself to the crystalline structure of a molecule. What is the water called?
Hydrate
What do we call a compound that has no water in the molecule?
Anhydrous
What is the name for MgSO4 * 3H2O
Magnesium sulfate Trihydrate
Chemical formula for calcium fluoride
CaF2
Chemical formula for silicon disulfide?
SiS2
What is the reactant or reactants and product or products in 4Fe + 3O2 —-> 2Fe2O3
Reactant: 4Fe + 3O2
Products: 2Fe2O3
Define reactant and product in any chemical equation.
Reactant- what starts at beginning (ingredients)
Product- what you get at the end
What are coefficients and subscripts
Coefficients- How many of that atom or molecule is in equation
Subscript- How many atoms or group of atoms there are
Coefficients and subscript for 3H2 + O2 —-> 3H2O
Coefficients- 3
Subscripts- 2
What part of any equation can we change to balance all the atoms of each element on both sides of the equation?
Coefficients only
Why do we need to balance every atom of every element on both sides of reaction
Law of mass conservation: you can’t have matter disappear in universe like that
NaCl(s)
(s) means
Solid was produced
NaCl(aq)
(aq) means
Aquaeous; dissolved in water=solution
N2(g)
(g) means
Gas was produced
What does —–> mean
Yields or this will result in
What does (triangle sign) above arrow mean
Heat was added to get reaction going
When you see an element above arrow, it means it’s catalyst. What do they do
Speeds up reaction while its unchanged
Synthesis reaction
Make something by combining reactants
2H2 + O2 —-> 2H2O
Decomposition reaction
Break down something
CaCl2 —> Ca + Cl2
Single replacement reaction
Cations swap places
Mg + CuSO4 —> Cu + MgSO4
Double replacement reaction
Cations swap places but no cation is left alone
AgNO3 + NaCl —> AgCl + NaNO3
What do net ionic equations show*
Ions that actually react
What are spectator ions*
Appears in both reactants and products; it doesn’t react with other ions
Describe what is a mole, what is number value of mole
Its a number
6.022 x 10^23 of anything
Mole is also known as __________________
Avogandro’s number
What is Avogandro’s number based on
12.01 grams per mole of Carbon-12
2 examples of mole used in chem
