Exam 2 Flashcards
Balanced Chemical Equation
Every atom on the reactant side ends up on the product side. Vice versa.
Limiting Reagent
Reactant in the shortest supply limits the amount of product
Excess Reagent
Reactant with excess amount after the reaction
Percent Yield
Actual Yield/ Theoretical Yield * 100
Solution
a homogenous mixture of two or more substances in which the ions or molecules intermingle freely
Solvent
component of a solution present in the largest amount. It is the medium into which solutes are mixed or dissolved.
Solute
Substance dissolved in the solvent.
Concentration
Ratios between the solute, solvent, and solution.
Dilute Solution
Has a small solute-solvent ratio
Concentrated Solution
Has a large solute-solvent ratio
Saturated Solution
Limit to how much solute can go into a solvent. When amount of solute added exceeds the limit, solution is saturated.
Unsaturated Solution
Less solute present than required for saturation.
Solubility and Temperature
Directly proportional. Increase temperature, increase solubility. Sometimes can dissolve MORE solute by heating the mixture. i.e. sugar water vs. simple syrup
Supersaturated Solution
Solution that contains more solute than required for saturation at a given temperature. Usually unstable.
Precipitation Reactions
Reactions that form precipitates
Electrolyte
a compound that conducts electricity either in solution or in a molten state.
Dissociation of Ionic Compound
Particles surrounded by solvent
Nonelectrolytes
aqueous solutions of most molecular compounds that do not conduct electricity
Hydrated
When a solute particle is surrounded by water
Ionic Equation
All soluble strong electrolytes are written in dissociated form.
Spectator Ions
Ions present in the reaction that do not participate.
Net Ionic Equation
Ionic equation without spectator ions. Allow us to generalize/ predict future relations. Charges on each side MUST balance.
Double Replacement Definition
a reaction of two salts in which the cations and the anions switch places.
Types of Replacement (single or double) Rx
gas forming, precipitation, acid-base
Gas forming rx
- Type of replacement
- One product is a gas
Precipitation Rx
- Type of replacement
- use solubility rules
- one product is a solid
Molarity
M
The number of moles of solute per liter of solution
Electrolyte
compound that conducts electricity in solution or molten state
