EXAM III Flashcards
(37 cards)
five visual evidences of a chemical reaction
- color change
- formation of a solid
- formation of a gas
- emission of a light
- emission or absorption of heat
limiting reactant
the reactant which gets used up first, completely in a chemical reaction
theoretical yield
amount of product which can be produced based on the amount of limiting reactant
actual yield
amount of product that is actually isolated in reactipon
percent yield
actual/theoretical x 100
negative ΔH rxn
exothermic
positive ΔH rxn
endothermic
solvent
majority component
solute
minority component
electrolyte solution
ionic compound dissolved in water; dissolved salt ions; conducts electricity well
non-electrolyte solution
dissolved sugar molecules; does not conduct electricity well
solubility
amount of solute which can dissolve in a fixed amount of solvent
saturated solution
holds dissolved the maximum amount of solute
concentration
quantity of a solute dissolved in a fixed amount of solvent
mass percent of solution
mass solute/mass solution x 100
molarity of solution
most common way to measure solution concentration; moles per 1L or M solution
solution dilution
diluting stock solutions to decrease the concentration (molarity)
molarity (M)
mol solute/1L solution
molarity (m)
mols solute/1kg solvent
colligative properties
solution properties which are determined only by the concentration of a particular solute in it
freezing point depression
lower than that of the pure solvent; directly proportional to molality of solute
kinetic molecular theory
collection of particles in constant motion; no attraction/repulsion between particles; a lot of space between particles compared to size of particles; speed of particles increases with temp.
measureables of a gas
volume, temperature, pressure
boyle’s law
P(1)V(1)=P(2)V(2)
inverse relationship between p and v
