(DONE) Lecture 12 + 14 + 15 Flashcards
List the prefixes that indicate the number of each element up to 8
- mono
- di
- tri
- tetra
- penta
- hexa
- hepta
- octa
define: electrolyte
- substance whose aqueous solutions conduct electricity due to a presence of charged particles in the solution
synthesis reaction
2 substances combine to create a new substance
decomposition reaction
1 compound breaks into 2 or more substances
replacement reaction (single and double/metathesis)
- A single element exchanges with a part of a compound
- 2 compounds exchange parts
combustion reaction
- the reaction of an element or compound with oxygen at high temp
acid base neutralization reaction
acid + base –> salt and water
explain oxidation and reduction reactions and the difference between the two
- transfer of electron reaction
- oxidation: loss of electron(s)
- reduction: gain of electron(s)
- OIL RIG (oxidation is loss, reduction is gain)
precipitation reaction
- the mix of 2 solutions that involves the formation of a solid (insoluble) compound
define a solution
- homogeneous mixture of 2 or more substances
- 1 phase
- concentration given in molarity
differentiate between a solvent and a solute
- component of a mixture in the greatest amount
- component with the smaller amount
In an aqueous solution, what is the solvent?
- water
Define solubility
- the maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent
Define a saturated solution
- solution containing the max amount of dissolved solute
What factors impact solubility (3)?
- Degree of subdivision of particles of the solute (greater the surface area the more it dissolves)
- Agitating the solution (stirring)
- Temperature (higher temp= molecules move rapidly so rate of solute solvent interactions increase, higher rate of solubility
