Thermochemistry and reaction types Flashcards
Solubility Rules
Nitrate, acetate, and chlorate are soluble.
Sodium, potassium, and ammonium are always soluble.
Chlorides are soluble except silver, mercury (I), and lead (II).
Sulfates soluble except lead (II), barium, strontium, and calcium (slightly).
Carbonate, phosphate, silicate, and sulfide insoluble (besides Na, K, NH4+).
Hydroxides are insoluble (besides Na, K, NH4+, Ca, Ba, and Sr)
Reactivity series
Li, Rb, K, Ba, Sr, Ca, Na, Mg –> these react with cold water and acids, replacing hydrogen. React to form oxides.
Al, Mn, Zn, Cr, Fe, Cd –> These react with steam (not cold water) and acids, replacing hydrogen. React to form oxides.
Co, Ni, Sn, Pb, H2 –> These do not react with water. React with acids, replacing hydrogen. React to form oxides.
Sb, Bi, Cu, Hg –> React with oxygen to form oxides.
Ag, Pt, Au –> Fairly unreactive forming oxides only indirectly.

1st Law of Thermodynamics
Conservation of energy
2nd Law of thermodynamics
Suniv must go up for any spontaneous process. ΔSuniv = ΔSsys + Δsurr
ΔG?
ΔG = ΔH -TΔS
