exam 3 (chapter 4-5.2) Flashcards
what is a homogenous mixture?
mixture of two or more substances
what is a solvent ?
what does the dissolving
what is a solute?
what gets dissolved
What is a electrolyte ?
something that dissociates into ions in solution
ionic compounds
what happens when a compoud dissociates?
NaCl—-> Na+ + Cl-
when a compound breaks apart
What is a nonelectrolyte?
will not break into ions
molecular compounds
what does a solution have to do to conduct?
must contain ions to carry the current
100% dissociate ?
strong electrolytes
less than 100 % dissociate ?
weak electrolytes
what are the 3 catergoreis of a strong electrolyte?
- is one of the 7 strong acids
- strong base
- any ionic compound
strong electrolytes
- what are the 7 strong acids ?
HCl
HBr
HI
HNO3
HCLO3
HCLO4
H2SO4
strong electrolytes
- what is a strong base ?
Alkali metal Hydroxide
Heavy alkaline earth metal hydroxide (Sr, Ca, Ba)
strong electrolytes
what is an ionic compound?
also called a SALT
metal + non-metal that is not an acid (H in front) or a base (OH on the back)
all salts are strong
what is a precipitation reaction ?
produces a precipitate–
insoluble solid that settles our in solution
what is a metathesis or exchange reaction?
AX + BY –> AY + BX
they require a driving force
what are the 3 driving forces for a metathesis reaction ?
- Precipitate forms
- gas is produced
- soluble weak or nonelectrolyte
metathesis driving forces
- what is a perciptate?
insoluble solid that settles out in solution
metathesis driving force
- what are the gases that are usually produced ?
CO2
H2S
H2
N2
O2
metathesis driving force
- what is the most common soluble weak or nonelectrolyte ?
H2O
95% of the time it will be water
what is a neuralization reaction ?
is a special case of metathesis were
Acid + Base —> salt + water
what will the PH for a neutralization reaction be when it is complete ?
7
what is oxidation ?
loss of electrons (has been oxidized)
what is a reduction?
Gain of electrons (has been reduced)
what is molarity ?
Molarity= moles of solute DIVIDED BY L of solution
