1
Q

What are two reasons why the actual yield from a chemical reaction is usually less than the theoretical yield?

A

1) The observed, or actual, yield for a reaction is usually less than the theoretical yield because reactions do not always go to completion
2) the reaction may be slow or may have, for a portion of the reaction, created different products than expected

Q

What kind of anhydride is dichlorine trioxide? What type of solution will be formed? What color litmus paper should be used to test the relative pH of the solution formed?

A

Cl2O3 is a nonmetal oxide and an acid anhydride.
Acidic Cl2O3+H2O —> [H2Cl2O4] —> 2HClO2 which is a weak acid
Blue paper should be used to test for acidity

Q

What are the differences between strong electrolytes, weak electrolytes, and non-electrolytes in terms of i) electrical conductivity in water and ii) how they dissolve in water

A
  • Strong electrolytes conduct a strong electrical current and dissociate 100% into ions in H2O
  • Weak electrolytes conduct a weak electrical current and dissociate less than 100% into ions in H2O (mostly neutral molecules)
  • Non-electrolytes conduct no electrical current and dissolve as neutral molecules in H2O

23
Q

What are the Bronsted-Lowry definitions for acids and bases?

A

Acid: proton donor
Base: proton acceptor

24
Q

What are the Arrhenius definitions for acids and bases?

A

Acid: produces H+ when dissolved in H2O
Base: produces OH- when dissolved in H2O

25
What are the differences between strong and weak acids?
Strong acids dissociates/ionizes 100% to produce H+/H3O+ Weak acid is less than 100% dissociation
26
What are the differences between strong and weak bases?
Strong bases dissociate 100% and weak bases less than 100% to produce OH-
27
List the strong acids
HI, HCL, HBr, HNO3, HCLO3, HCLO4, H2SO4
28
List the strong bases
LiOH, NaOH, KOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, Ba(OH)2
29
Short of weak acids
H3PO4, H2S, HC2H3O2, HNO2, H2SO3, HCLO3-
30
Short list of weak bases
NH3, NH2OH, CH3NH2, (CH3)2NH
31
Discuss the electrolyte activity of strong and weak acids and bases.
Strong acids/bases are strong electrolytes and weak acids/bases are weak electrolytes
32
CH3CH2CH2OH
Is not a strong base Is not a hydroxide Is an alcohol It differs from NaOH when it dissolves in water because propanol is a molecular compound, so even though it dissolves, it does not dissociate into ions like NaOH does
33
Any substance that has the (aq) designation splits into ions when dissolved in solution.....true or false
False because the (aq) designation only indicates that a substance dissolves in water but NOT how it dissolves. It should read “Any substance that is a strong electrolyte splits into ions when dissolved in aqueous solution”
34
Define equivalence point
Point where stoichietric amounts of both reagents are present
35
Define indicator
Substance with one color in more acidic solutions and different color in more basic
36
Define end point
Point in titration where indicator changes color
37
Define the term solute
Any component in a solution other than the solvent Substance dissolved in solvent
38
Define the term solvent
A component of a solution that is present in the greatest amount Substance dissolving the solute
39
Define the term solution
Resulting mix of solute and solvent, solute in uniformly distributed
40
Define solubility
Measure of maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent (measured in g/100mL)
41
Define unsaturated solution
a chemical solution in which the solute concentration is lower than its equilibrium solubility
42
Define saturated solution
a chemical solution containing the maximum concentration of a solute dissolved in the solvent
43
Define supersaturated solution
a state of a solution that contains more of the dissolved material than could be dissolved by the solvent under normal circumstances
44
Solubility Rule 1
Ionic compounds that contain Group 1(IA) metal cations (Na+, K+, Li+, etc.) or ammonium (NH +) are soluble. 4
45
Solubility Rule 2
Ionic compounds that contain NO -, ClO -, ClO -, C H O -, or HCO - are soluble.
46
Solubility Rule 3
Ionic compounds that contain Cl-, Br-, or I- (halogens) are soluble EXCEPT when combined with Cu+, Ag+, Hg 2+, or Pb2+. Most F- compounds are soluble EXCEPT when combined with Pb2+ and Group 2(Ca+2, Ba+2, etc).
47
Solubility Rule 4
Ionic compounds that contain SO 2- are soluble EXCEPT when combined with Ag+, Hg 2+, 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 4 2 Pb , Ca , Sr , or Ba . Note: Ag2SO4 is sparingly soluble.
48
Solubility Rule 5
Most ionic compounds that contain OH-, O2-, CO 2-, PO 3-, CrO 2-, or S2- are insoluble 344+ EXCEPT when combined with Group 1(IA) metal cations or NH4 . – Extra exception(s): CrS, SrS, and BaS are considered soluble. Ca(OH)2, Ba(OH)2, and Sr(OH)2 are considered soluble. Group 1 and heavier Group 2 oxides react with water to form corresponding hydroxide which is soluble.
49
Solubility Rule 6
Combining anions and cations not listed above results in formation of an insoluble compound
