(14 cards)
Decomposition reactions
C——> a + b
Combination reactions
A + b —–> c
A combination reaction between a metal and a nonmetal produces an
Ionic solid
Decomposition reactions occur frequently when ______
Heated
Combustion reactions are
Rapid reactions that produce a flame
Most combustion reactions involve ___
O2
Hydrocarbons combusted with oxygen create
CO2 gas and H2O gas
Formula weight (FW) = H2SO4
H2SO4 = 2(atomic weight of H)+(AW of S)+4(AW of O)
So 2(1.01)+(32.1)+4(16)= 98.1 amu
Formula weight is all the atomic weights of a compound or atoms added together
Absorb
Formula weight is also know as the _______ weight
Molecular
If Cl has an atomic weight of 35.45 AMU, what is the mass of a mole of Cl?
35.45 grams
If H2O has a formula weight of 18 AMU, what mass does a mole of H2O have?
18 grams
The molar mass in grams per mole of any substance is numerically equal to its ______ ______ in _____ _____ units
Formula weight
