Exam 2 Flashcards
What are two reasons why the actual yield from a chemical reaction is usually less than the theoretical yield?
1) The observed, or actual, yield for a reaction is usually less than the theoretical yield because reactions do not always go to completion
2) the reaction may be slow or may have, for a portion of the reaction, created different products than expected
What kind of anhydride is dichlorine trioxide? What type of solution will be formed? What color litmus paper should be used to test the relative pH of the solution formed?
Cl2O3 is a nonmetal oxide and an acid anhydride.
Acidic Cl2O3+H2O —> [H2Cl2O4] —> 2HClO2 which is a weak acid
Blue paper should be used to test for acidity
What kind of anhydride is potassium oxide?
K2O metal oxide and a base anhydride
Basic: K2O + H2O —> 2KOH which is a strong base
Use red litmus paper to test for basicity
What are the differences between strong electrolytes, weak electrolytes, and non-electrolytes in terms of i) electrical conductivity in water and ii) how they dissolve in water
- Strong electrolytes conduct a strong electrical current and dissociate 100% into ions in H2O
- Weak electrolytes conduct a weak electrical current and dissociate less than 100% into ions in H2O (mostly neutral molecules)
- Non-electrolytes conduct no electrical current and dissolve as neutral molecules in H2O
Identify as a strong, weak, or non electrolyte when dissolved in water. Indicate how it dissolves in water.
