Lab 2- Density and Chemical Reactions Flashcards
Aim
To determine density of solids and liquids, observe typical chemical reaction
Density
The mass per unit volume of a substance. A physical property.
Physical properties
Can be measured without changing the chemical identity
Pure substances
All have unique densities.
Chemical equations
Represent what transpires in a chemical reaction.
Things to know writting a reaction
What the products are
Products idnetifying
By their chemical and physical properties
Identifying substances
By the use of instruments, by reaction characteristics, or both
Test
Reactions that are characteristic of a substance
Qualitative analysis
The area of chemistry concerned with identification of substances
Increase precition
Repeat a test three or more times, a precision of human error and the equiptment
Metals and acids
React to liberate hydrogen and form the metal salt of the acid
Noble metals
Do not react with acids to produce hydrogen
Unreactive metals
Can react with nitric acid, however gases that are oxides of nitrogen rather than hydrogen are formed
Metathesis reaction names
Double replacement, exchange
