chemical solutions Flashcards
mixture
when elements and compounds physically combine
heterogeneous mixture
unevenly mixed, can see individual components
-sand and water
suspensions
larger particles that are not dissolved
-shake well dressings
homogeneous mixture
equally mixed, can’t see individual components
-cake batter
solubility
ability to dissolve in other substances
solvent
liquid that will dissolve particles
solute
will be dissolved
aqueous solution
dissolved in water
synthesis reaction
2 reactants combine to make a new product
-A+B= AB
decomposition
break down
-AB= A +B
single replacement
an element in the compound replaces another element
-C+AB= AC + B
double replacement
2 elements replace 2 other elements
- AB + CD= AD + BC
combustion
requires fuel to burn, needs carbon and hydrogen and yields CO2, water and energy
Acids
- ph of 1-6
- more H+ ions
- yogurt, detergent, soda, stomach acid
bases
- ph of 8-14
- more OH- ions
- include soap, laxatives, oven cleaners
