Q

What is a poly atomic?

A

Charged ions that consist of compounds with 2 or more atoms bonded together. Polyatomic act as non-metals bc they bond w metals

6
Q

Which two polyatomic are not affected when naming ?

A

Ammonium and hydroxide

This is because ammonium acts as a metal, it goes first and the ending of the second metal does not change (ide) ammonium is only positive one

Hydroxide just ends in hydroxide, still second metal

Q

What is law of conservation of mass?

A

Mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction and total mass of reactants = total mass of products

If it is not true it is because open vessel expierements cause mass to be turned into energy and escape, it also could have evaporated or dissolved

Q

What r the types of reactions

A

Synthesis - 2 or more reactants combining to make 1
Decomposition - 1 reactant breaking into 2 or more products
Single displacement - anion or cation kicking out same ion to form a new compound leaving the other one alone
Double displacement - ionic compounds switching partners to create new compounds
Combustion - hydrocarbons and oxygen as reactants and carbon dioxide and water as products
Incomplete combustion - combustion but there’s left over elements, not complete

17
Q

What is pH scale?

A

Measure of how acidic or basic a solution is based on concentration of hydrogen ions

18
Q

What’s a basic solution?

A

Low concentration of H+, high PH, above 7

19
Q

What’s an acidic solution?

A

High concentration of H+, low PH, below 7

20
Q

Characteristics of an acid

A

Oh below 7, taste sour, water soluble, conducts electricity, reacts w water to create hydrogen ions (H).Eg orange juice, vinegar, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid

21
Q

Characteristics of a base

A

Ph above 7, water soluble, conducts electricity, taste bitter, reacts w water to produce hydroxide ions (OH-)

22
Q

Binary acids?

A

A nonmetal and hydrogen

Hydro then non metal then ends in ic acid

Hydrochloric acid

23

30
Q

Neutralization

A

A double displacement reaction where an acid and base react to form a salt and water “salt means ionic compound”
