Ionic Equation def
Chemical equations that show only ions that participate in a chemical reaction
Ionic Equation Steps
- All solids, liquid and gases stay
- Ionic aqueous substances split into ions
- Eliminate spectator ions (those that don’t change state or position)
- Write ionic equation - only include ions that change include state symbols and charges
- Check charges
Percentage Yield
Actual yield (mass/moles) /theoretical yield (mass/moles) x 100%
Atom Economy
mass of desired product/ total mass of reactants x 100%
Water of Crystallisation
Water of crystallisation is water which is locked into a crystal in a fixed way. Heat until a constant mass. e.g. Copper(II) sulfate has the formula CuSO4·5H2O.
