Sem 2 Final Flashcards
Acid Naming and Formulas
Hydro___ic acid?
-Nonmetal ends in “ide”
-ex. hydrofluoric acid
Acid Naming and Formulas
___ic acid?
-Nonmetal ending is “ate”
-ex. sulfuric acid
Acid Naming and Formulas
___ous acid?
-Nonmetal ending is “ite”
-ex. sulfurous acid
What is a neutralization reaction?
A reaction between an acid and a base
-water will always be a product
Net Ionics
-define electrolytes
-ionic compounds dissolved in water, their ions will conduct electricity
Net Ionics
-what is a precipitate?
The water-insoluble product formed from precipitate reactions
-If an ionic compound forms a solid, it is a precipitate
Net Ionics
-what are spectator ions?
Ions that appear on both side of the reaction
How do you write net ionic equations?
(what are the steps?)
- Balanced Formula Equation
- Determine the Solubility
- Aq. (soluble)- split the compound, add charges. Subscripts become coeffs, mult subscripts and balance equation
- cancel spectator ions
- rewrite including state of matter symbols and omit spectator ions
What is a redox reaction?
A reaction involving the transfer of electrons
-ex. batteries, light bulbs, rusting, everything electrical
-reactions always occur on the negative end
What is oxidation?
the loss of e-
What is reduction?
the gain of e-
Remember….
OIL RIG!
-Oxidation Is Losing
-Reduction Is Gaining
Oxidation numbers
Signifies the number of charges an atom would have in a molecular or ionic compound if the e- were transferred completely
Rules for Assigning Oxidation Numbers
- Each atom in a pure element has an oxidation value of 0
-ex. diatomics - Monatomic ions have oxidation numbers equal to their charge
-ex. Mg+2= +2 - Metals- their charge is their oxidation number
-ex. NaCl, Na=+1, Cl=-1 - Oxidation number for H is +1, O is -2 in most compounds
a. When H forms acids, +1, when it isn’t an acid, -1
b. H2O2 O=-1 - Sum of ox. #s must be 0 for a neutral compound, for polyatomics it must be equal to the ion charge
- F, Cl, Br, and I always have an ox. # of -1 except when combined with Oxygen
