LEARNING
naming covalent compounds first element is given its element name, second suffix replaced by
"ide", USE GREEK PREFIXES
naming ionic compounds name the metal, if the metal has an uncommon charge, indicate the
charge with roman numerals, change nonmetal suffix to "ide", if polyatomic ion just name them
properties of ionic compounds crystalline, hard, brittle, high melt point, insulators as solid,
but conductors in solution or when melted
percent composition mass of element / total mass of compound x 100
ionic which type of compound completely dissociates in water to form electrolytes?
empirical formula uses the simplest integers to represent the ratio of atoms in a compound
molecular formula shows the actual number of atoms of each element in one molecule of a
compound
precipitate when we mix solutions of soluble ionic compounds we might form an insoluble
ionic compound. If so, this compound falls out of the solution as a solid what?
acid any chemical that releases H+ in water
base any chemical that releases OH- in water
hydronium ion acids are H+ donors; H3O+ IS WHAT?
arrhenius acid substance that when added to water increases the concentration of H+ ions present
dissociate completely strong acids do what in water?
dissociate partially weak acids do what in water?
water and a salt the products of an acid-base reaction will always be what?
molarity moles of solute per liter of solution (M= mol/L)
increases In dilution, the number of moles does not change, but the volume what?
, limiting reactant this is the reactant in a chemical reaction that limits the amount of product
that can be formed
reactant in excess reactant in which some of it will remain at the end of the reaction
theoretical yield max amount of product that can be obtained, that YOU calculate
actual yield amount of product that we obtain in an experiment
percent yield % = actual / theoretical x 100
heat the amount of energy that can be transferred from one object to another due to a
temperature difference
temperature measure of the average kinetic energy of particles
exothermic system releases heat
endothermic system absorbs heat
titrations used to find the molarity of solutions, find the moles of solute by reaction with a
known amount
enthalpy the heat of reaction at constant pressure, delta H
energy = q + w (heat + work)
specific heat (c), the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a
substance one degree C
heat q= m x c x deltaT
calorie amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree
celcius
calorimeters this is used to find energy in chemical reactions, coffee cup/bomb
hess's law of heat summation If the equation for a reaction can be written as 2 or more
thermochemical equations, then the enthalpy change for the reaction equals the sum of the
enthalpies of those equations
standard enthalpy of formation = SUM deltaHf of products - SUM deltaHf of reactants
bomb calorimeter q = Ccal x deltaT
heat capacity C = m x c
