Q

What’s the Law of Conservation of Mass?

A

States that matter cannot be created or destroyed; only can be changed from one form to another. Matter of atoms in reactants must equal number of atoms in products.

Q

Why must equations be balanced?

A

Q

Double displacement?

A

Exchange of cations between 2 ionic compounds

General equation ->
AB + CD = AD + CB

17
Q

Evidence that double displacement occurred?

A
  1. Solid precipitate forms
  2. Gas produced, bubbles formed
  3. Water (H2O formed) (neutralization of acid/base reaction)
18
Q

What is a rate?

A

How much time it takes for a product to form or for an amount of products to be used up.

19
Q

ROR: Concentration

A

If there’s more of a substance, there’s greater change of molecules colliding and speeding up the rate of the reaction. If there’s less, there’ll be fewer collisions and reaction will occur at a slower speed.

20
Q

ROR: Temperature

A

When temperature rises, molecules bounce around a lot more. When they bounce more, more likely to collide; more likely to combine. The lower the temperature, molecules will be slower and collide less -> lowers rate of reaction

21
Q

ROR: Pressure

A

Increase pressure -> less space for molecules to move -> increases number of collisions
Decrease pressure -> molecules spread out and don’t collide as often -> decreases rate of reaction

22
Q

ROR: Surface area

A

Increase area in which reactants come into contact with each other -> increasing number of atoms/molecules able to collide
Increases rate of reaction

23

  1. Tastes?
  2. Texture?
  3. Conducts?

  2. No characteristic feel
  3. Conducts electricity
  4. Red litmus paper stays red
  5. Blue litmus paper -> red
  6. Bromothymol turns yellow/green
  7. Keeps phenolphthalein clear
  8. Reacts with active metals (burning splint test)
  9. Reacts with sodium carbonate (lime water test)
  10. Does not react with ammonium chloride

  9. Does not react with sodium carbonate
  10. Reacts with ammonium chloride to produce ammonia (waft for odour)
25
Q

What is an indicator?

A

A substance that produces a change in colour as a concentration of H+ and OH- changes. (Used for clear colourless solutions)

26
Q

What does ‘pH’ mean?

A

The power of hydrogen

27
Q
  1. pH of acids
  2. pH of bases
  3. Neutral pH?
A
  1. Acids have a pH less than 7
  2. Bases have a pH greater than 7
  3. Neutral substances have a pH of 7
28
Q

pH scale ranges from ___?

A

0-14

29
Q

What is pH?

A

Determining the concentrated of hydrogen ions in a solution.

30
Q

Strong acid

A

Dissociated completely into ions in water

31
Q

Weak acid

A

Dissociates very slightly in a water solution

32
Q

Strong base

A

Dissociates completely into ions in water

33
Q

Weak base

A

Dissociates very slightly in a water solution

34
Q

What is neutralization?

A

When hydroxide ions (base) and hydrogen ions (acids) mix to make water and a salt.

General word equation:
Acid plus a base produces water and salt.

35
Q

What is an oxide?

A

Any element chemically combined with oxygen.

36
Q

Reaction of metals and oxygen?

A

Metal oxides form bases when react with water

Since they form bases, they can be called basic oxides or basic anhydrides

37
Q

Reaction of non metals and oxygen

A

When non metal oxides react with water, they form acids

Since they form acids, they can be called acidic oxides

38
Q

What is bonding capacity?

A

Cation: bonding capacity is number of electrons lost to be stable
Anion: bonding capacity is number of electrons gained to fill outer energy level to 8
