Compounds Formulae and Equations Flashcards
What is the law of conservation of mass?
For any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy the mass of the system must remain constant over time
What is included in an ionic eqution?
Only the species/particles that are directly involved in the reaction
What do we call ions that don’t change?
Spectator ions
What do we call ions that don’t change?
Spectator ions
Which compounds are soluble in water?
All group 1 compounds
All nitrate compounds
All ammonium compounds
Which compounds are insoluble in water?
Ag+, Pb2+ chlorides
Ba2+, Pb2+ sulfates
Most hydroxides
Most carbonates
What does an acid + an alkali equal?
A salt + water
How do you make the salt?
Replace the hydrogen in the acid with the metal in the alkali
E.g- HCl (aq) + NaOH(l) - NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
Water is a - molecule so does not contain -
covalent
ions
What do you need to do with an ionic equation before dismantling it?
Make sure it is balanced
An acid + a carbonate -
a salt
water
CO2
What is a precipitate?
An insoluble solid
In ionic equations precipitates
Are not broken up (leave them alone)
What do we call ions that remain the same for the duration of the reaction?
Spectator ions
It’s important to make sure the charges on both sides..
Balance out
