29
Precipitation Reaction
reactions in which a solid, a precipitate, forms when we mix two solutions
30
Precipitate
a solid formed from mixing two solutions. Only insoluble compounds form precipitates.
31
Molecular Equation
an equation showing the complete neutral formulas for each compound in a reaction as if they existed as molecules.
32
Complete Ionic Equation
an equation which list all of the ions present as either reactants or products in a chemical reaction.
33
Spectator Ions
in a complete ionic equation the ions in solution that appear unchanged on both sides of the equation.
34
Net Ionic Equation
an equation that show only the species that actually changed during a reaction. Spectator ions are left out of this equation. Only the interesting stuff stays in the equation.
35
Acid-Base Reaction(Neutralization Reaction)
an aqueous reaction where and acid and a base react to neutralize each other while producing water and sometimes a weak electrolyte.
36
Gas-Evolution Reaction
a reaction in which a gas is formed resulting in bubbling Many acid-base reactions are this.
37
Acid
substance that produces H^+ ions in aqueous solution
38
Base
substance that produces OH^- ions in aqueous solution
39
Arrhenius Definitions
Named after Svante Arrhenius. Defined Acids and Bases.
40
Hydronium Ion
H^+ is a bare proton and in solution they typically associate with H2O H^+(aq) + H2O(l) -> H3O^+(aq) H^+ or H3O^+ both mean a hydronium ion.
41
Polyprotic Acids Example with a Diprotic Acid
an acid containing more than one ionizable proton and release them sequentially. First it is strong(one way reaction) H2SO4(aq) -> H^+(aq) + HSO4^-(aq) Second it is weak(the reaction can go both ways) HSO4^-(aq) -><- H^+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq)

the point in the titration when the number of moles of OH^- added = the number of moles of H^+ initially in the solution.
60
Indicator
signals the equivalency point of a titration by using a dye whose color depends on the acidity or basicity of the solution.

66
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions(redox reactions)
reactions in which electrons transfer from one reactant to the other. Many involve a substance with oxygen.
67
Oxidation
the loss of an electron.
68
Reduction
the gain of electrons.
69
Oxidation State(number)
A theoretical number given to each atom based on the electron assignments. Noted as "-1" instead of an ionic charge of "1-"
70
Oxidation State Rule 1
The Ox State of an atom in a free element is 0. Cl2 = 0 ox state.
71
Oxidation State Rule 2
The Ox State of a monoatomic ion is equal to its charge. Ca^2+ = +2 Ox State
72
Oxidation State Rule 3
the sum of the oxidation states of all atoms in: - A neutral molecule or formula unit = 0 H20 = 2(H ox state) + 1(O ox state) = 0 - An ion is equal to the charge of the ion. NO3^- = 1(N ox state) + 3(O ox state) = -1
73
Oxidation State Rule 4
In their compounds, metals have positive ox states - Group 1A always have an ox state of +1 - Group 2A always have an ox state of +2
74
Oxidation State Rule 5
in their compounds nonmetals are assigned ox state as follows: ``` Flourine = -1 Hydrogen = +1 Oxygen = -2 Group 7A = -1 Group 6A = -2 Group 5A = -3 ```
75
Oxidation
An increase in oxidation state
76
Reduction
A decrease in oxidation state
77
Oxidizing Agent
a substance that causes the oxidation of another substance
78
Reducing Agent
a substance that causes the reduction of another substance
79
