EXAM III Flashcards
five visual evidences of a chemical reaction
- color change
- formation of a solid
- formation of a gas
- emission of a light
- emission or absorption of heat
limiting reactant
the reactant which gets used up first, completely in a chemical reaction
theoretical yield
amount of product which can be produced based on the amount of limiting reactant
actual yield
amount of product that is actually isolated in reactipon
percent yield
actual/theoretical x 100
negative ΔH rxn
exothermic
positive ΔH rxn
endothermic
solvent
majority component
solute
minority component
electrolyte solution
ionic compound dissolved in water; dissolved salt ions; conducts electricity well
non-electrolyte solution
dissolved sugar molecules; does not conduct electricity well
solubility
amount of solute which can dissolve in a fixed amount of solvent
saturated solution
holds dissolved the maximum amount of solute
concentration
quantity of a solute dissolved in a fixed amount of solvent
mass percent of solution
mass solute/mass solution x 100
