Types of reaction Flashcards
3 most common classes of reactions
- Precipitate reaction
- Acid-base reaction
- Oxidation- reduction Reaction
3 Ways to describe a chemical reaction
- Molecular equation
- Complete ionic equation (everything is broken down into ions)
- Net ionic equations
Precipitate reaction
Ionic reactions that yield on a Insoluble product
Soluability chart
Alkali metal/ NH4/ NO3- all soluble
Acid-Base reaction
Arrhenius
Acid produce H+ ions
Base produce OH- ions
Acid-base Reaction
Bronsted-Lowry
Acid: proton donor
Base: proton acceptor
PPM
Parts per million
m/m x 10^6
v/v x 10^6
m/v = (g)/(mL) x 10^6
PPB
Parts per billion
Same as PPM but 10^9
Oxidation-reduction reaction
A reaction in which one or more electrons are transferred between atoms or molecule
Oxidation
Loses an electron
Increase in oxidation number
Reduction
Gains an electron
Decrease in oxidation number
LEO say GER
Lose electron Oxidation
Gain Electron Oxidation
Oxidation agent
Undergoes reduction
Reducing agent
Undergoes oxidation
Balancing redox equations
oxidation state methods
– assign oxidation states for all atoms
– determine change in oxidation state for each element
– determine coefficients based on:
» total increase in oxidation state = total decrease
