Q

theoretical yield

A

calculated amount of product that could form (max)

1) Calculate how much product you could get from each reactant
(separately) and compare those amounts.

2) The smallest amount of possible product is the theoretical yield,
and the amount depends on the limiting reactant.

Q

precipitation

A

2 liquids produce solid

not soluable = will precipaiate

26
Q

spectator ions

A

ions is in smale form in both sides of chem reaction , no change

27
Q

Acid + Alkaline

A

Produce water and salt

both neutralize each other

28
Q

system, surrounding, and universe

A

System: part of the universe of specific interest
(system is the substances involved
in a chemical or physical change)

Surroundings: the rest of the universe

Universe = System + Surroundings

29
Q

Thermochemistry

A

study of heat in chem reactions

30
Q

Thermla energy

A

energy associated with the random
motion of atoms and molecules

31
Q

Temp

A

how hot/cold something is
C* or K
Avg kenetic energy

32
Q

Heat

A

Transfer of thermal energy
J, cal, Cal (nutrition)
heat is absorbed or released during process

33
Q

thermodynamics

A

the study of the interconversion of heat and other kinds of energy

34
Q

system

A

the substances involved in a chemical or physical change
(the reactants and products)

defined as the substances involved in a chemical or
physical change

EX: H2O(s) –> H2O(l)
system ; ice, liquid water
surroundings: everything else

EX: reactants occuring in soluton

system: reactants and products

Surroundings: everything else , solvent (water)

35
Q

state functions

A

properties that are determined by the state of the system,
regardless of how that condition was achieved

36
Q

Internal energy (U)

A

sum of all kinetic & potential energy

ΔU is the change in the internal energy

37
Q

q=smΔT

A

q= heat
s= specific heat (ex. .240 j/g)
m= mass
ΔT= change in temp (75-20=55)

EX: (250g)(,240)(55)

38
Q

ΔU = q+ w

A

q= heat
w= work
(work is + when done on syatem, - when done by system)

EX:
Heat absorbed by the system (endothermic process)

q is positive

Heat released by the system (exothermic process)

q is negative

Work done on the system by the surroundings (e.g., a volume decrease)

w is positive

Work done by the system on the surroundings (e.g., a volume increase)
Ex: producing a gas, which expands

w is negative

The internal energy of a system can decrease (ΔU < 0) if it loses heat (q < 0)
or if it does work on the surroundings (w < 0)
Heat and Work: signs

39
Q

net ionic equation

A

what changes into solid

(liquid to solid or solid to liquid)

40
Q

Hybridization with multiple bonds

44
Q

electrolytes

A

strong acids / bases

has ions (neg and pos charge)

45
Q

A

neg

52
Q

Which of the following processes has contributed the most to the increasing atmospheric CO 2
concentration in recent years?

A

combustion of fossil fuels

53
Q

Why are H 2 O and CO 2 greenhouse gases, but N 2 and O 2 are not

A

H 2 O and CO 2 can undergo asymmetrical molecular vibrations by absorbing IR radiation,
whereas N 2 and O 2 cannot
