Reactions and Stoichiometry Flashcards
Chemical equation
A way of representing a chemical reaction
Chemical reaction
Process by which one or more substances is converted into another substance
Combustion reaction
An organic compound reacts with oxygen to produce CO2, H2O vapor, and a new compound
Combustion analysis
A reaction interpretation method in which a controlled reaction occurs allowing the CO2 from the reaction to be absorbed by a material while the water vapor is absorbed by another material, leaving only the combustion residue
Reactants
Substances that undergo change in a chemical reaction
Products
Materials produced as a result of chemical reaction
Balance
The state of a chemical equation in which all the atoms of all the products are equal on their side
Synthesis (Combonation) Reaction
Two reactants come together to compose a single product
A+B→AB
Decomposition Reaction
A single reactant breaks apart into two products
AB→A+B
Single replacement reaction
The compound reactant decomposes and allows the atomic reactant to become the new compound, the pairing switches places
AB+C→A+CB
Double replacement reaction
Cations switch anions
AB+CD→AD+CB
Reduction
A reactant either looses an oxygen, or gains a hydrogen in a red-ox reaction
Reactant stops being an anion or starts being an cation
Lowering its overall charge
Oxidation
A reactant that either gains an oxygen or looses a hydrogen in a red-ox reaction
Reactant stops being a cation or starts being an anion
Raising its overall charge
Reducing agent
In a Red-ox reaction, the reactant that donates its hydrogen, or accepts an oxygen
Oxidizing Agent
In a Red-ox reaction, the reactant that donates its oxygen, or accepts a hydrogen
Red-ox reaction
Reaction in which a compound either looses or gains a hydrogen or oxygen, resulting in a change in reactant charge
Stoichiometry
The study of the amounts in, mass or moles, of products or reactants
Moles present
(Mass2/Mass1)
x(MolarMass1/MolarMass2)
xMoles1
Mass
(MolarMass2/MolarMass1)
x(Moles2/Moles1)
xMass1
Molar mass
(Mass2/Mass1)
x(Moles1/Moles2)
xMolarMass1
Limiting Reactant
The reactant that runs out first in a reaction
Access Reactant
Remaining reactant after the reaction has finished
Basic stochiometry equation
(MolarMass1/MolarMass2)x(Moles1/Moles2)=(Mass1/Mass2)
One entire mass equation over another
Can use algebra to solve for all else
Theoretical yeild
Mass that should be produced by the equation
Actual yeild
Mass of a given product produced during the reaction
Always given
Percent yield
(ActualYield)/(TheoreticalYield)x100%
Molecular equations
Chemical equations that show the (aq) of solution reactants and display which products are still (aq) and which have changed phase
Do not show ionic charge
Complete ionic equations
Chemical formulas written with (aq) items as individual ions, show charges in each
Spectator ions
Ions that do not participate in the reaction
Go unchanged when solutions are mixed
Net ionic equations
Ionic equation written without spectator ions
Include the charge and phase, but only for the ions that participate in the equation
Acid-base reaction
An acid reacts with a base and the two neutralize eachother
[Acid]+[Base]→[Water]+[Salt]
Gas-evolution reaction
Reaction in which a gas forms, resulting in bubling
Electron motion in red-ox reaction
Leaves the reducing agent on an oxygen ion and travels to the other reactant
Oxidation Number
The ‘charge’ that atom would have if all the electrons were at their most attractive atom,
Important in combustion reactions
Complex Ion
A central transition metal bonded to one or more ligand
Ligand
A lewis base that forms a bond with a metal
Coordination compound
Neutral compound that results from the combination of a complex ion nd one or more counter-ion
Counter-ion
Ions of an opposite charge to the complex ions, but that do not act as ligands
Primary valence
Oxidation state of the central metal ion
Secondary valence
Number of atoms or molecules bonded to the central metal ion
Aka: coordination number
Coordination Number
Number of atoms or molecules bonded to the central metal ion
Aka: secondary valance
Coordinate covalent bond
A bond type in which a transition metal is bonded to lewis bases by an electron pair
Monodentate ligand
Coordination complexes that donate only one pair of electrons to a central transition metal
Bidentate ligand
Coordination complexes that donate two pairs of electrons to a central transition metal
Polydentate ligand
Coordination complexes that donate many pairs of electrons to a central transition metal
Chelating agent
coordinating ligant in a coordination complex
EDTA ligand
Wraps itself arround the metal completely
Chealte
Coordination complexes with a ligand that is not monodentate
Writing coordination complex complounds
1) Metal comes first
2) Lewis is included in brakets
Arrehenius Plot
Linear function
Ln(k)=(-Ea/R)(1/T)+ln A
Derived from: ln(k)=ln(Ae^(-Ea/RT)
Bronsted Lowry definitions of acids and bases
Defined by whether they accept an H+ proton
Amphoteric substances
Substances that act either as an acid or a base
Catalyst
A substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed by the reaction itself
Heterogeneous catalyst
Catalyst that exists in the same state as the reactants
Heterogeneous catalyst
Catalyst that exists in a different state from the reactants
Hydrogenation
Adding a hydrogen atom to an already stable molecule
H2+CH2→H3C+CH3
Enzyme
A type of naturally occurring biological catalyst
Activation site
The portion of the enzymes surface that acts as the catalyst
Substrate
The reactant molecule when an enzyme is used as the catalyst
Solvation
The reaction of an ionic compound with a solvent
First law of electrolysis
Mass of a reacted substance is proportional to the charge through boltsman constant)
m=k*q
Second law of electrolysis
when the same amount of electricity is passed through different electrolytes connected in series, the mass of substance liberated/deposited at the electrodes is directly proportional to their equivalent weights.
Electrolysis of water
Water is broken into hydrogen and oxygen
Electrocrystalization
The process of forming conductive crystals on the surface of the electrode
Crystallography
The science that examines the arrangement of atoms in solids
Determining the limiting reactant
Calculate the decimal of the theoretical mole ratio,
Calculate the decimal of the actual mole ratio,
If actual>theoretical, denominator element is limiting
If actual<theoretical, numerator element is limiting
