Define solubility
the property of a solid, liquid or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid or gas solvent
what is the state symbol of an element if it is soluble in water
aqueous (aq)
what are the aqueous substances
(SNACKS)
-All common Na+, K+, NH4+ salts
-All nitrates
-Most chlorides except for silver and lead
-Most sulfates except for lead, barium and calcium
what substances are insoluble (solids)
-Most carbonates
-Most hydroxides
-most oxides
what happens to hydroxides and sulphates down group 2
-Hydroxides are more soluble and sulphates are less soluble down group 1 and 2
what equation links base + acid
base + acid –> water + salt
what does MASH stand for
metal + acid –> salt + hydrogen
What does CAWCS stand for
metal carbonate + acid –> water + carbon dioxide + salt
when does a metal carbonate form
when a carbonate ion reacts with a metal cation
what is a metal carbonate described as
a base
what is the formula for hydrochloric acid
HCL
what is the formula for sulfuric acid
H2SO4
what is the formula for nitric acid
HNO3
what is a decomposition reaction
AB –> A + B
heat is required
if C and O is present CO2 is formed in products
what are the 4 observations in reactions
-if solid is in reactants but not in products then the solid dissapears/dissolves
-If a gas is produced bubbling/effervescence occurs
-If an alkali is formed litmus paper will turn blue
-If an acid is formed the litmus paper will turn red
what is the amount of a substance measured in
moles
define molar mass
the mass of 1 mol of a chemical
what does 1 mol equal
12g of carbon
how do you calculate mol
mass / mr
how do you calculate the number of atoms/molecules
mol x avogadros constant
define mole
the total number of atoms present in the molar mass of the substance
calculate the amount in mole of water with 9.36 x 10^24 of atoms
9.36 x 10^24 / 6.022 x 10^23
Answer / 3 as there is 3 moles
How many atoms are there in a mole of neon
1 x 6.022 x 10^23
Calculate the number of chloride ions in 1 mol of MgCl2
Total = 3 moles (1 mole of Mg / 2 mole of Cl
Chloride ion = 2 x 6.022 x 10^23
