Q

Reversibility of reactions

A

Will be reversible if the acid is a weak acid. Will NOT be reversible if the acid is a STRONG acid.

Q

Acid Base Neutralization

A

Acid gives a hydrogen to the base. Alsoways produces a salt. Salt made from metal from base and anion from acid. Usually produces water (if base acceptor has a hydroxide you will get water)

Q

Steps for writing an acid base neutralization reaction

A
  1. Name the products (ie. water and the salt) 2. Write the product formulas 3. Balance the equation 4. Remember that if either acid or base is STRONG, the neutralization reaction is NOT reversible

Q

4Fe + 3O2 → 4Fe3+ + 6O2- What is oxidation number of each individual atom in the products? Which reactant is oxidized? Which reactant is reduced?

A

Fe (products) oxidation number = +3 O (products) oxidation number = -2 Fe is oxidized (went from 0 to +3) O is reduced (went from 0 to -2)

17
Q

Formula for Oxidation Level of an ORGANIC compound

A

Oxidation level = # of heteroatoms + # of double bonds + # of rings

18
Q

Heteroatom

A

any atom in an organic molecule other than carbon or hydrogen

19
Q

Triple bond in an organic molecule

A

counts as 2 double bonds for figuring oxidation level

20
Q

How to use oxidation level in an organic reaction

A

If oxidation level of organic products is HIGHER than oxidation level of ORGANIC reactant than Carbon is being OXIDIZED (considered an OXIDATION rxn)
