Chem unit 3 Flashcards
Law of Conservation of Mass
mass is not created/destroyed during ordinary chemical reaction/physical changes
Law of Definite Proportions
chemical compound contains same elements in same proportion by mass regardless of size of sample/compound
Law of Multiple Proportion
If 2+ diff compounds are composed of same 2 elements, the ratio of masses is always small whole #
Chem rxn
1+ substance changes to new substance
Indications of chem rxn
change in temp,
production of light, production of gas, production of precipitate, color change
Factors affecting rxn rate
nature of reactants, concentration, surface area, temp, presence of catalyst/inhibitor
Symbols
(s): solid
(l): liquid
(g): gas
(aq): aqueous
triangle on yield: heat is added (faster)
arrow up: gas produce
arrow down/(ppt): precipitate
pt on yield: platinum catalyst is add
Types of rxn
S: A+B-AB D: AB-A+B SR/D: A+BC-AC+B DR/D: AB+CD-AD+CB combustion: CH+O2-CO2+H2O
Assigning oxidation #
pure element: 0
Hydrogen: +1 (except when bonded w/ metal)
Oxygen: -2 (except 4: H202) OXIDATION # SHOULD CANCEL OUT FOR EACH POLYATOMIC ION
Oxidation vs reduction
o: increase oxygen/more positivity,
r: decrease in oxygen, become negative
Redox
- assign oxidation #
- identify where reduction/oxidation occur
- write half reaction
- balance only elements
- balance oxygen, add H20
- balance hydrogen, add H+
- add electron to more positive side
- multiply equation to cancel out electrons
- subtract like compounds
- combine half reaction
Solubility Guidelines
- Chlorates, acetates, nitrates, nitrites, and perchlorates are soluble.
- Sulfates are soluble except those of calcium, strontium, barium, mercury, redium, lead, and silver.
