Unit 5: Balancing And Stochiometry Flashcards
Redox
Chemical reaction the involves a transfer of electrons between two species
Redox occurs with what types of reactions…
Anything except double replacement
Precipitation
An insoluble product forms when two soluble substances react usually ionic
Precipitation occurs with what types of reactions
Any types of double reaction
Neutralization (acid-base)
When acid reacts with a base to form a water and a salt
Neutralization occurs with what type of reactions
Any type of double replacement
Gas- Forming
Forms a gas
Oxidation rules
- oxidation of sole atoms is zero
- group one has a charge of 1+
- group two is 2+
- oxidation of fluorine is -1 in compounds
- hydrogen is 1+ unless bonded with a metal making it -1
- oxygen can be -2 or 1-
- binary ionic compounds
Steps to completing an empirical formula
Convert to grams
Convert grams to moles using molar mass
Compare amounts of moles to find lowest whole number ratio
Four types of driving forces
