U3-5 Flashcards
What are the steps to creating an empirical formula?
Using percent composition
- Percent to mass
- Mass to moles
- Divide by small
- multiply til whole
How do you determine the molecular formula of a molecule?
- Calculate the empirical formula
- Calculate the molar mass of the empirical formula
- Divide the given molar mass by the empirical molar mass
How do you do a percent yield calculation?
Actual yield / Theoretical x 100
What is an aqueous solution?
a solution where water is the solvent
What is solubility?
the amount of solvent that dissolves in a given volume of solvent, in covalent molecules, like dissolves like
Define solute
The minor component in a solution, the solute is dissolved in the solvent
Define solvent
The larger component of a solutions, the solvent dissolves the solute
Define spectator ion
elements/compounds that are not involved in the reaction, in net ionic equations they are removed
Define Arrhenius acid
acids dissociate into H+ ions
Define Arrhenius base
bases dissociate into OH- ions
Define Bronsted/Lowry acid
acid loses hydrogen ions
Define Bronsted/Lowry base
bases gain hydrogen ions
Define pH scale
pH stands for power of hydrogen, the pH scale measures acidity and alkalinity 1 is very acidic 7 is neutral 14 is very basic
Define titration
Titration is a technique where a solution of known concentration is used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution
Define dilution
To decrease the concentration of a solute in solution, usually by mixing in more solvent
