31
Q

What is bonding polarity?

A

refers to how polar a bond is or how unequal the sharing is.

32

A

bond is more ionic

33
Q

If the EN is less than 0.4…….

A

bond is essentially non-polar

A

bond is polar

35
Q

If the EN is exactly zero……..

A

bond is truly non-polar

36
Q

What is the general solubility rule?

A

polar solvents dissolve in polar solutes. Non-polar solvents dissolve in non-polar solutes. LIKES DISSOLVE LIKES

37
Q

What is electrical condutivity?

A

only ionic compounds can conduct electricity and only when they are aqueous or molten

38
Q

What is an exothermic reaction?

A

reaction releases energy so energy is a product

39
Q

What is an endothermic reaction?

A

reaction needs energy so energy is a reactant

40
Q

what is a catalyst?

A

it accelerates the rate of the reaction and is shown when written above the arrow in a reaction.

41
Q

How is a precipitate formation shown?

A

by an arrow down

42
Q

How is a gas production shown?

A

by an arrow up

43
Q

What are the 4 types of synthesis reactions?

A
  1. Binary compound from 2 elements
  2. non-metal oxide and water react to form an oxyacid
  3. metal oxide and water react to produce a base
  4. metal oxide and non-metal oxide react to produce salt with and oxyanion
44
Q

What are the 3 types of decomposition reactions?

A
  1. Binary compound into elements
  2. Hydrogen carbonate into water and carbon dioxide
  3. Metal nitrate into metal nitrite and oxygen
45
Q

What are the 2 types of combustion reactions?

A
  1. complete combustion (produces carbon dipxide and water and energy)
  2. incomplete combustion (produces carbon dioxide, water, carbon, carbon monoxide and energy)
46
Q

What is corrosion?

A

slow combustion

47
Q

What are the 2 types of single displacement reactions?

A
  1. Metal-metal (or metal-hydrogen) Displacement

2. Halogen-halogen displacement (C is replaced)

48
Q

How do you determine if a single displacement reaction will occur?

A

You use the activity series and the element that was by itself but now entering a compound has to be higher on the activity series than the element that is currently in the compound

49
Q

What are the 3 types of double displacement reactions?

A
  1. AB + CD = AD + CB (normal)
  2. Neutralization (acid + base = salt and water
  3. Gas Evolution (H2S is actually a gas, H2CO3 breaks down into liquid water and carbon dioxide gas)
50
Q

How can you determine if a double displacement reaction will occur?

A

By looking at the solubility rules and seeing what the states of the products are. If they are all aqueous, no reaction will occur, if there is at least one solid, liquid or gas then a reaction will occur.

51
Q

What is an ionic equation?

A

an equation that shows all the aqueous compounds in dissociated form

52
Q

What is a net ionic equation?

A

shows only the elements involved in forming the precipitate

53
Q

What is the equation you use to go between moles and particles?

A

N = n x Na

54
Q

What is the equation you use to go between moles and mass?

A

m = n x Mm

55
Q

How do you calculate percent composition?

A

% element = Melement / Mcompound X100

56
Q

How do you go from the empirical formula to the molecular formula?

A

divide the molecular molar mass by the empirical molar mass then multiply your empirical formula by the value you get by doing this.

57
Q

What is the limiting reactant?

A

The reactant that limits the amount of product that it produced

58
Q

A

ate endings become ic and ite endings become ous

65
Q

What is charles law?

A

V1/T1=V2/T2

66
Q

What is Gay-Lussac’s law?

A

P1/T1=P2/T2

67
Q

What is Avagadro’s law?

A

n1/V1=n2/V2

68
Q

What is the combined gas law?

A

P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2

70
Q

What are the equations for partial pressure?

A

Ptotal= P1+P2=P3…..
OR
n1/ntotal= P1/Ptotal

71
Q

What is the law of combining volumes?

A

stoichiometry can be applied to gaseous products and reactants if they are under the same temperature and pressure.

72
Q

What is nitrogen narcosis?

A

having extra gas in your blood for a prolonged period of time. It can cause disoreientation and the extra gas dissolves due to the high pressure created by water depth

73
Q

What is the bends?

A

caused when gas dissolved in the blood stream is released too quickly as a diver ascends. This is a problem because the gas bubbles can get stuck in small blood vessels and cause blockages

74
Q

What are some altitude effects?

A

As altitude increases, pressure decreases causing a decreased amount of gas in the bloodstream making you feel dizzy. Your body responds by making more red blood cells to carry gases more efficiently.

75
Q

What are the percent components of the atmosphere?

A

78% nitrogen
21% oxygen
0.0387% carbon dioxide
0.034% argon

76
Q

What is ozone?

A

a layer in the stratosphere and it protects us from harmful UV rays. When hit with uv it decomposes into O2 and O then naturally synthesizes back together. Hwoever, it is poisonous at ground level and is a product when nitrogen oxides react with sunlight.
