Exam 4 Flashcards
1 mole =
(Avogadro’s number) 6.022 x 10²³
Empirical formula
The simplest ratio of atoms in a chemical formula
Electrolyte
Ions dissolved in water
Non-electrolyte
Molecules in water
Strong electrolytes
Solute is completely ionized (only ions)
Weak electrolytes
Only some of the solute ionizes (some ions and some molecules)
Molarity (M)
Concentration
mol/L (moles/liters)
Dilution formula
M₁V₁ = M₂V₂
Precipitation reaction
Two (aq) reactants produce a solid + (aq)
Combustion reaction
Byproducts = CO₂ + H₂O
Acid-base (neutralization) reaction
Byproducts = a salt + H₂O(g)
also has a lot of H in equation
Oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction
Change in oxidation state
Decomposition reaction
1 reactant goes to multiple products
Spectator ion
An ion that does not take part in the chemical reaction. Found in the solution before and after the reaction.
Oxidation state
Pretty much the same as charge
