Term
What are the seven strong acids?
Definition
Nitric
Sulfuric
Hydrochloric
Hydrobromic
Hydroiodic
Perchloric
Chloric
Term
What are the strong soluble bases?
Definition
All group 1 hydroxides and Ca, Ba, Sr hydroxides
Term
What is a solution?
Definition
When a solute (smaller amount) is dissolved in a solvent (larger amount) to form a homogeneous mixture.
Term
What's a good GENERAL saying about solubility?
Definition
"like dissolves like"
Term
What do electrolytes tell us?
Definition
How well an aqueous solution conducts electricity.
Term
What is a nonelectrolyte?
Definition
An aqueous solution that doesn't conduct electricity.
Term
What is an arrhenius acid?
Definition
An acid that dissolves in water and produces positive H ions.
Term
What is an arrhenius base?
Definition
Bases that dissolve in water and produce hydroxide ions
Term
what is the Bronsted-Lowery definition of acids and bases?
Definition
By this definition, acids are proton donors while bases are proton acceptors. For example, when gaseous HCl dissolves water, each HCl molecule donates a proton to a water molecule so HCl is a B-L base while water is a B-L base.
Term
How do you name acids?
Definition
NEED TO LOOK THIS UP
Term
What is an electrolyte?
Definition
A substance that dissociates in water into ions. The stronger, the better the substance will conduct electricity.
Term
What is a precipitation reaction?
Definition
A type of chemical reaction that occurs when two solutions are mixed, and insoluble substance sometimes forms; that is, a solid forms and separates the solution.
Term
What is something important to remember about about solids containing ions that are dissolved in water?
Definition
In this case, it is important to remember that the ions separate and move around independently.
Term
What are the things that help us predict precipitates?
Definition
1. When ions form a solid compound, the compound must have a zero net charge. Thus the products of this reaction must contain both anions and cations.
2. Most ionic materials contain only two types of ions: one type of cation and one type of anion.
Term
What are spectator ions?
Definition
Ions that are present on both sides of a precipitation reaction but do not form a precipitate.
Term
How do you write a net ionic equation?
Definition
You would write this equation by subtracting the net ions from each side of the equation.
Term
What can all soluble salts be described as?
Definition
All of these types of solutions are can be described as strong solutions.
