Exam 2 Flashcards
What is a combustion reaction?
It is reaction in which a substance combines with oxygen to form one or more oxygen-containing compounds. It produces a flame and often requires a heat source.
How do we indicate states in equations?
solid (s); liquid (l); gas (g); aqueous solution (aq)
What is the quantitative analysis of a chemical reaction?
Stoichiometry
When doing Stoichiometry we can convert between moles and grams
False, we can only convert between moles.
What are limiting reactants?
The reactants that run out first
The quantity of limiting reactant determines…
…the amount of product formed
What is the simplified process for identifying the limiting reactant?
Stablish a moles to coefficient ratio, dividing the number of moles by the coefficient of the substance.
What are the types of yields we can consider during a reaction?
Theoretical, actual, and percent yield
What are some of the reasons for a reaction not to be completed?
Impurities, side reactions, etc.
Theoretical yield
Quantity of product produced IF the reaction was completed
Actual yield
What is actually produced
Percent yield
Actual yield/theoretical yield multiplied by 100
Combination reaction
When two reactants come together to form a single product; for example: 2 Mg (s) + O2 (g) -> 2MgO (s). They can be two elements forming a compound or two compounds combining to form another compound.
If a combination reaction happens between a metal and a non-metal we have a…
…ionic compound
Decomposition reactions
A single reactant decomposes into two or more products; often occur when a sample is heated. Ex: CaCo3 (s) -> CaO (s) + CO2 (g)
Some reactions may be multiple types
True
Alkali Metal reactions
Vigorous reactions of alkali metals with nonmetals. They also react with water to form the dissolved alkali metal ion, hydroxide ion, and hydrogen gas. These reactions become progressively more vigorous as we move down the group.
