Chem 10 final Flashcards
(98 cards)
Describe a strong acid
Donate their proton completely to water or 100% ionized in aqueous solution
What determines the strength of an acid or base?
Their extent of ionization in aqueous solution
Describe a weak acid
Donate their protons to water incompletely (less than 100%)
What are corrosive cleaners?
Substances which have the ability to weaken or destroy materials by chemical action, often acid base reactions
What are some examples of corrosive cleaners?
Toilet bowl cleaners (pH=below 2)
Drain cleaners and oven cleaners (pH is 12 or higher)
Describe a hydronium ion
When water accepts a H+ ion (proton), it becomes a hydronium ion, H3O+
Acidic solution:
Contains higher concentration of H3O+ ions than OH-
Base:
H+ ion acceptor
Weak acid:
Donates it’s protons to water incompletely
Strong base
Donates it’s protons to water completely,100%
What ingredients are present in antacid?
Magnesium and aluminum hydroxide and bicarbonate and carbonate salts
pH formula?
pH= -log[H3O+]
What is a saturated hydrocarbon?
Consists of C-C single bonds only (alkanes)
What is an unsaturated hydrocarbon ?
Consists of C=C double OR TRIPLE bond (Alkenes and Alkynes)
Alkanes are also called:
Paraffins
Allene’s are also called:
Olefins
Root words of alkanes (single bonds)
1 Methane, 2 ethane, 3 propane, 4 butane, 5 pentane, 6 hexane, 7 heptane, 8 octane, 9 nonane, 10 decane
Name some components of natural gas
Methane, ethane, propane
What is in disposable lighters
Butane
What are the components of gasoline?
Pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, and decane
Paraffins (alkanes) can be described as:
Having very low reactivity, Formula C2H2n+2 Relatively low boiling and melting points Not soluble in water Combustion produces CO2 and water
What is a cyclic alkane?
Ring structure with no multiple bonds
Allene’s are also known as
Olefins
Describe Alkenes
Aliphatic,
unsaturated
C=C double bond
