exam 2 Flashcards
sum of the atomic masses of the atoms (or ions) in a formula unit
formula weight
the amount of substance that contains the same number of entities as there are atoms in exactly 12g of carbon 12
mole
avogardos number
6.022x20^23
average of the masses of the naturally occurring isotopes of an element weighted according to their abundance
formula weight
the simplest formula that agrees with the element analysis and gives rise to the smallest set of whole numbers of atoms
empirical formula
examples of empirical formula
CH4, C6H10O, C5H11
the formula of the compound as it exists, it may be a multiple of the empirical formula
molecular formula
reactions that form a solid(s) called a predicate, upon mixing two aqueous solutions
precipitation reactions
ions in these equations that are not part of the precipitate
spectator ions
a molecular equation is a chemical equation showing the complete, neutral formulas for every compound in a reaction
net ionic equations
chemical equation showing all of the species as they are actually present in solution
complete ionic equation
