Unit 5 Key Terms, Concepts, and Solubility Flashcards
(106 cards)
Solutes
Spread evenly throughout the solution
Cannot be separated from the solvent by filtration
Can be separated by evaporation
Are not visible, but can give a color to the solution
The angle between the H’s in H2) is
104.5 degrees
crystal lattice
An orderly 3-D arrangement of positive and negatice ions
insolubility
When the pull of water molecules is not strong enough to overcome the attractions among the ions, the ionic compound will not dissolve.
Solubility
When the pull of water molecules is strong enough to overcome the attractions among the ions, water can start to pull the crystal apart. The compound will dissolve.
strong electrolytes
Dissociate in water resulting in separate positive and negative ions in the solution
Conduct an electric current in water
Nonelectrolytes
Dissove as intact molecules in water
Do not produce ions in water
form solutions that do not conduct an electric current
like dissolves like
polar solvents (water, low fw alcohols) dissolve polar compounds and often ionic compounds Nonpolar solvents (hydrocarbons) dissolve nonpolar compounds Oil(nonpolar) and water (polar) don't mix
metathesis reactions
double-replacement reactions involve a trading of ion partners Are driven by: --The formation of precipitates --The formation of a molecular liquid(usually water) --The formation of a molecular gas
Precipitation reactions
Metathesis reactions that result in the formation of an insoluble solid(precipitate) in the reaction
solibility
a physical property describing how readily a substance will dissolve in a given solvent
soluble compounds
Nitrate salts
acetate salts
chlorate and perchlorate
chloride, bromide, and iodide salts (except those containing silver, Lead II, or Mercury I Ions(Hg2^2+)
Sulfate Salts-(except those containing calcium, strontium, barium, mercury I, or Lead II Ions.
Insoluble Compounds
Carbonate (CO3) salts (except those containing alkali metal or ammonium Ions)
Phosphate salts – except those containing alkali metal or ammonium ions
Sulfide salts – except those containing ammonium, alkali metal, calcium, strontium, or barium ions
Hydroxides except those containing ammonium, alkali metal, calcium, strontium, or barium ions
Gas-Forming Compounds
Carbonic acid and sulfurous acid are unstable. If a metathesis reaction produces one of these acids, the acid quickly decomposes.
H2CO3(aq) H2O(l) + CO2(g)
H2SO3(aq) H2O(l) + SO2(g) Na2CO3(aq) + 2 HCl(aq) 2 NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) not Na2CO3(aq) + 2 HCl(aq) 2 NaCl(aq) + H2CO3(aq)
When given two reactants and no products for a possible precipitation reaction, you have to ;
Determine the formulas of the products
Use the solubility rules to predict the states of the products
Balance the equation if a reaction occurs
Write Nrxn if both products are water soluble
What writing product formulas, always show the ___ in the formulas first
Cations
Molecular Equation
When cations and anions of ionic compounds are shown together forming neutral units
Ionic Equations (Total Ionic Equations or Complete Ionic Equations)
WHen an Ionic compound dissolves, and the individual ions will be separated from each other and be surrounded by water molecules. They show soluble ionic compounds and strong acids separated into the ions they contain
Spectator Ions
Ions not involved in making new products
Net Ionic Equation
When spectator Ions are taken out of an equation
When a compound starts with H, it’s an _____ when dissolved in water.
Acid
The number of Hydrogens in an acid equals the negative charge on the _____
Anion
HCl
Hydrocholoric Acid
HBr
Hydrobromic Acid
