Solubility, Balancing and Ions Flashcards
Reactants
Reactants are Ionic compounds that react with each other “raw materials”
Products
The result of a chemical reaction between reactants
Chemical Equation
Describes what happens during a chemical reaction calciumcarbonnate + Sulfuric acid > Calcium Sulphate +Carbon dioxide gas + water
Balanced Equations
Both sides of see-saw (equation have same number of atoms of each element both sides
Soluble
Dissolves to form a clear substance. E.G sugar and water
Insoluble
Two substances mixed do not dissolve leave a product known as a precipitate.
Cation
a positive Ion Eg Na+, MG2+
Ion
An atom that has either gained or lost electorns eg Na+ means Sodium has lost an electron
Anion
a negative Ion Eg Cl-, I_
Monatomic Ion
Only one element in Ion eg K+
Poly atomic
Two elements im an Ion eg Nitrate (No3)
Ionic Compounds
Cation + Anion eg Sodium Ion + Chloride Ion
The “old switcheroo”
Balancing Ionic compounds method. refer class notes
solubility Table
Tells us which Ions cn or cannot mis. they are either Soluble or Insoluble
atomic Number
Number of protons and electrons in an element
