Gr.10 T4 Chemistry Flashcards
What is the difference between ionic compounds and acids dissolving in water?
Ionic compounds dissociate in water
Acids ionise in water
What is the force between ions and water molecules called?
Ion-dipole force
Name the two forces in molecules (you know what I mean😉)
Intermolecular forces and electrostatic forces
What is dissolving?
The process of a solid ionic crystal breaking down into its ions
What is hydration?
The process where water molecules now surround the positive and negative ions of a once ionic compound
What is an electrolyte?
A liquid solution with positive and negative ions that are free to move. The ions carry charge, making the liquid able to conduct electricity.
What does a solution consist of?
Solute (minority) in a solvent (majority)
What solutes does hard water have dissolved in it?
Calcium and magnesium ions
What is a precipitation reaction?
When a combination of ions forms an insoluble salt

Name the 4 types of chemical reactions and briefly describe them.
Precipitation: insoluble salt
Gas-forming reaction: gas comes off
Acid-base reaction: transfer of protons
Redox reaction: transfer of electrons
What precipitate does an unknown with chloride ions form when added to sliver nitrate solution?
A white precipitate that is insoluble in acid.
