writing formulas for ionic compounds
-criss cross subscrpits
% error formula
(experimental- accepted / accepted) x 100
% yield formula
(experimental / theoretical) x 100
how to name ionic compounds
- keep first element the same
- change ending to “ide”
- NO PREFIXES
percent composition formula
(part / whole) x 100
empirical formula steps
- % = grams
- divide each element by their molar mass
- divide all answers by smallest number
- round
- whole number = subscript
empirical formula
subscripts are simplified
molecular formula
subscripts are not simplified
synthesis equation
X + Y —> XY
molecular formula steps
- find empirical formula
- find molar mass
- divide given by molar mass
- multiply subscripts by answer
decomposition equation
XY —> X + Y
single replacement equation
A + BX —> B + AX
A and B are metals or hydrogen
X is anion
double replacement equation
AX + BY —> BX + AY
A and B are cations
X and Y are anions
neutralization equation
HX + BOH —> BX + H2O
acid + base = salt + water
BASE ENDS IN HYDROXIDE
