Final Review Flashcards
When addition or subtraction is performed, the significant figures are rounded to the…
least significant decimal place.
When multiplication or division is performed, the significant figures are rounded to the…
least number of significant figures.
What are the three steps to naming an ionic compound?
- Write the cation
- If the anion is an element, change it’s ending to -ide. If it is a polyatomic, write the full name
- If the cation can have more than one charge, write it’s charge as a roman numeral
An oxyanion with the fewest oxygens has…
the prefix hypo- and ending -ite
ex: ClO-
An oxyanion with the second-fewest oxygens has…
the ending -ite
NO2-
An oxyanion with the second-most oxygens has…
the ending -ate
NO3-
An oxyanion with the most oxygens has…
the prefix per- and the ending -ate
ClO4-
If the anion in an acid ends in -ide change…
the ending to -ic and add the prefix hydro-
ex: HCl is hydrochloric acid
If the anion in an acid ends in -ite, change…
the ending to -ous
ex: HClO is hypochlorous
If the anion in an acid ends in –ate, change…
the ending to -ic
ex: HClO3 is chloric acid
When an acid and a base are combined, the products are…
a salt and water.
Steps to writing Net Ionic Equations
- Write the balanced molecular equation
- Dissociate all strong electrolytes
- Cross out anything that isn’t changed from left to right
(important to remember that polyatomics such as OH stay together as one unit)
What are the seven strong acids?
