Unit 2 Test Flashcards
combustion reaction
a reaction involving a substance (hydrocarbon) reacting w/ oxygen (O2) to produce (O2 + H2O)
alkali metal reaction
alkali metals (group 1) react with water to produce hydrogen gas (H2) and hydroxide (OH-)
halogen reactions
halogen (group 17) react w/ metals to form halides
molarity (M)
the amount of solute (in moles) divided by the volume of solution (L)
strong electrolyte
substances that completely dissociate into ions when they dissolve in water
nonelectrolytes
do not dissociate into ions when dissolved in water and do not conduct electricity
weak electrolyte
only a few solute dissolve and ions are created, conducts electricity weakly
acid
a substance that produces hydrogen ion in water
base
a substance that produces hydroxide ion in water
what are the weak acids?
CHO2 (Formic acid), HC2H3O2 (Acetic acid), HF (Hydrofluoric acid)
what is the weak base?
NH3 (ammonia)
sulfide
S^2-
In a gas forming reaction, what gas does sulfide (S^2-) evolve?
H_2S
In a gas forming reaction, what gas and liquid do carbonates (CO_3^2-) and bicarbonates (HCO_3^1-) give off?
H2O (l), CO2 (g)
Bicarbonate
HCO_3^1-
bisulfite
HSO3^1-
sulfite
SO3^2-
Carbonate
CO_3^2-
In a gas forming reaction, what gas and liquid do sulfites and bisulfites give off?
H2O (l), SO2 (g)
ammonia
NH3^-
In a gas forming reaction, what gas and liquid does ammonium give off?
H2O (l), NH3(g)
What is the equivalence point in an acid-base titration?
the amount of titrant added is enough to neutralize the analyte solution, moles of base = moles of acid and the solution only contains water and salt
What are the five rules for oxidation states?
- Oxidation state of a free atom is 0.
- Oxidation state of a monatomic ion is equal to its charge.
- Sum of the oxidation states of all atoms in: a neutral molecule or formula unit is 0 and an ion is equal to the charge of the ion
- Group 1A metrals always have a state of +1, Group 2A metals always have an oxidation state of +2
- Follow the nonmetals chart.
Oxidation state of fluorine:
-1
Oxidation state of hydrogen:
+1
Oxidation state of oxygen:
-2
Oxidation state of Group 7A:
-1
Oxidation state of 6A:
-2
Oxidation state of 5A:
-3
Oxidizing agent
a substance that causes the oxidation of another substance (oxidation number lowers between the reactant and product)
Reducing agent
a substance that causes the reduction of another substance (oxidation number is higher between the reactant and product)
