Equilibrium Flashcards
Chemical equilibrium
Two chemical processes happening at the same time. Saturated solution
Dissociation
Separation of ions that occur when a compound dissolves
What causes ionic compounds to dissociate
Water
What kind of compounds that dissociate don’t come back together in a solution
Ionic compounds
Dissociation equation…
NaCl(s) yields Na + (aq) + Cl- (aq)
Precipitate
Solid formed during chemical reactions
Two solutions of ionic compounds as reactants.
If an ionic compound is….you can’t write dissolution equation
Insoluble
Why do precipitates form
Ions more attracted to each other than H20
When determining precipitates form…
Make sure both reactants dissociate
Do the double displacement
Check the product solubilities
Net ionic equations
Shows that substances change from reactant to product side
Spectator ions
Ions that don’t change, not in net ionic equation
Formula equation
Formulas of reactants and products
Full ionic substances
Any substances in aq that break into ions are written
Strong electrolytes
Any compound whose dilute aq solution conducts electricity well; this is due to the presence of the dissolved compounds in ion form
Strong electrolytes…
Yield as only ions when dissolved in water
