Q

What is dissociation

A

It is when an ionic compound ‘dissociates’ in water and splits into its constituent ions that is in solution.

26
Q

A

An ionic equation is a chemical equation in which the reactants or the products are written as dissociated ions.

27
Q

What can ionic equations also be used for?

A

Ionic equations can also be used to the formation of a new product from dissociated ions

28
Q

What is a displacement reaction?

A

A displacement reaction is a reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from within a compound. (the metal ion will get dissolved in solution so the metal ion is free to react. A more reactive metal on the activity series replaces a less reactive metal ion from in the less reactive ions solution.

29
Q

What is a reactive metal

A

A reactive metal is one that loses electrons easily to form ions

30
Q

What happens in a displacement reaction

A

A metal is put in a solution containing the ions of a less reactive metal. The more reactive metal displaces the less reactive metal from the solution. The products are a metal and metal ions in solution.

30
Q

What are the 3 things you have to do in a displacement reaction

A

1) Observations of reaction
2) Spectator ion
3) Balanced ionic equation

31
Q

When this happened I saw (observation) ________________________________________________________________________The 2 ions came together to for this precipitation were ____________ and ____________
The precipitate that was formed was called (name and formula) ________________________________________________
I know this is the precipitate because, according to the SOLUBILITY RULE # ________________________________________________
The 2 ions _______________ and ______________ are the SPECTATOR ions. They did not make a precipitate. I know this because according to the SOLUBILITY RULE # ________________________________________________

32
Q

When does a displacement reaction occur?

A

A displacement reaction occurs when a MORE REACTIVE METAL displaces a LESS REACTIVE METAL from its compound.

A

In a thermal decomposition reaction a compound is separated into smaller chemical species using heat. The species formed can be elements or simpler compounds.

Q

What are the key points on writing formula for Precipitation reactions?

A
  • The spectator ions are the ions that remain dissolved throughout the reaction.
