Unit 1 Flashcards
Synthesis reaction
when two reactants fuse to form products (A + B –> AB)
Decomposition reaction
One reactant decomposes into two or more products (AB –> A + B)
organic molecules
molecules that are carbon based
Combustion reaction
When with heat and oxygen, hydrocarbons release energy by burning/combusting (Hydrocarbon + Oxygen → + Water)
hydrocarbon
organic molecule comprised of only hydrogen and carbon molecules
Hydrogen bond
A hydrogen bond is not a proper chemical bond, but the result of dipole-dipole interactions
What are the SNAP Ions, and what is their significance?
Sodium, Nitrate(NO3), Ammonium(NH4), Potassium, they are all soluble in reactions
during a preparation of solutions lab, what is important to remember
water is added to the mark, and it is performed in a volumetric flask
Net ionic equation
only shows the components that reacted; leaves out spectator ions
what two products does an acid-base reaction produce?
water and a salt
What are the strong acids?
HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, H2SO4, HClO4
What is a characteristic of a strong acid
They produce H+ ions and fully dissociate
What is an Acid-base reaction
(Bronsted-Lowry) occurs when an acid and base are mixed; neutralization reaction
What are the products of an acid base reaction
water and a salt (ionic compound)
In an Acid-base reaction, what is transferred during the reaction
H+ protons are transferred from the acid to the base
