Foundations Unit 2 Flashcards
What’s an isotope
Atom of same element with same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons.
They have the same chemical properties because they have the same number of electrons in their outer shell
What’s relative atomic mass
Mean mass of an atom compared to 1/12th the mass of a carbon12 atom
What’s relative isotopic mass
Mass of the isotope compared to 1/12th the mass of a carbon 12 atom
What’s stoichiometry
Molar relationship between the relative quantities of substances taking part in a reaction - like a recipe
What’s a molar mass
Mass per mole of a substance with units of g mol-1. To calculate we just add all relative atomic mass of each element in compound
What does the mass number tell us
Number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
What does the atomic number tell us
Number of protons in the nucleus
What’s relative isotopic mass
Mass compared to 1/12th the mass of carbon-12
What’s meant by a Bronsted Lowry Acid
Proton donor
Ha–> H* + A- reversable
<—
What’s a strong bronsted lowry acid
Proton donor that completely dissosciates
Ha—-> H*+A-
What’s meant by a weak bronsted lowry acid?
Proton donor that partially dissociates
Ha—> H* + A-
<—
What does the strength of an acid depend on
Dissociation of the acid in water.
What’s meant by a bronsted lowry base
Proton acceptor
OH- + H* –> H²0
What’s an alkali
Alkali releases OH- ions into a solution
NaOH–> Na+ +OH-
What’s meant by a salt and give eg
Acid + base or
When the H+ in an acid is replaced by a metal ion or an ammonium
Polybasic acids. What’s meant by a monobasic, dibasic, and tribasic acid
Monobasic - 1 mole of acid released 1 mole of protons
Dibasic acids- 1 mole of acid releases 2 moles of protons
Tribasic acids - 1 mole of acid releases 3 moles of protons
What does acid + metal form
Salt + hydrogen
There’s also fizzing and solid dissolves
What does acid + metal oxide form
Salt + water
Solid dissolves
What does acid + metal hydroxide form
Salt + water
No visible change
What does acid + metal carbonate form
Salt + water + carbon dioxide
What’s meant by oxidation state
Tells us the total number of electrons it has donated or accepted to form an ion or form part of a compound
Give the rule for assigning oxidation staes for uncombined elements/ elements which are bonded to identical elements
Oxidation state is 0
Give the rule for assigning oxidation states to monotonic ions (charged particle consisting of only 1 atom)
Oxidation state is gonna be same as their charge
Give the rule for assigning oxidation states for molecular ions
Sum of all oxidation states= same as oxidation state of molecular ion
