:)

19
Q

what are the prefixes?

A
1-mono
2-di
3-tri
4-tetra
5-penta
6-hexa
7-hepta
8-octa
9-nona
10-deca

*if there is only one of the first element, skip the prefix (mono) but you would put mono if tere is only one for the second element

20

A

:)

25
Q
what do:
aq
s
g
l 
stand for?
A

aq - water
s - solid
g - gas
l - liquid

26
Q

practice naming acids:

A
  • must have H in the beginning
  • ate –> ic
  • ite –> ous
  • ide –> “hydro” at the beginning end in “ic”
27
Q

what are the types of chemical reactions?

A
  • synthesis
  • decomposition
  • single displacement
  • double displacement
  • combustion
28
Q

what is synthesis?

A
  • two simple reactants combine to make one larger or more complex product
    ex. A + B –> AB
29
Q

what is decomposition?

A
  • single compound breaks down into smaller compounds or elements
  • will always have only one compound as a reactant

ex. AB –> A + B (2 or more)

30
Q

what is single displacement?

A
  • one element replaces another in a compound (metal will take another metal’s place)
    ex. A + BC –> B + AC
31
Q

what is double displacement?

A
  • two elements replace one another

ex. AB + CD –> AD + CB

32
Q

what is combustion?

A
  • rapid reaction of fuel with oxygen. a hydrocarbon will always produce carbon dioxide and water in an ample supply of oxygen
    ex. CS2 + O2 –> CO2 + 2SO2
33
Q

what are the properties of acids?

A
  • contain H+
  • water-soluble
  • sour
  • corrosive
  • conduct electricity
34
Q

what are the properties of bases?

A
  • contain OH1-
  • soluble in water
  • bitter
  • slippery
  • corrosive
  • conduct electricity
    another word for basic is alkaline
35

base - pink

37
Q

litmus paper test:

A

acid - red

base - blue

38
Q

what is the pH scale used to measure?

A

how acidic or basic a substance is

39
Q

what numbers are a strong acid?

A

1,2

weak acid –> 3,4,5,6

40
Q

what number is a strong base?

A

13,14

weak base –> 8,9,10,11,12

41

A

7

42
Q

learn logarithmic scale (pH)

A

:)

43
Q

what happens when an acid reacts with a base?

A

makes water (neutralization)
