Definition
Substances in the solution that are being dissolved
Term
Solvent
Definition
What is doing the dissolving
Term
ppm
Definition
parts per million (10^6)
~1 g of solute for every 10^6 grams of solution
Term
ppb
Definition
parts per billion (1ppm/1000)
~1 gram of solute for every 1 billion grams of solution
Term
Molarity (mol/L)
Definition
n/V
Term
Dilutions
Definition
M1V1=M2V2
Term
Volume to moles of solute
Definition
multiply by molarity of stock solution (M1)
Term
Moles of solute in diluted solution to molarity of diluted solution
Definition
divide by total volume of diluted solution
Term
Electrolytes
Definition
dissociates into ions when it dissolved, enhancing conductivity of solution
Term

Term
base
Definition
Proton acceptor
Term
Acid Base Reaction
Definition
Forms a salt and water
~the salt is made up of the cation of the acid and the anion of the base
Term
Molecular Equation
Definition
Balanced equation that describes a reaction in solution in which the reactants are written as undissociated molecules
Term
Overall ionic equation
Definition
balanced equation that shows all the species both ionic and molecular present in a rxn occuring in an aqueous solution
Term
net ionic equation
Definition
a balanced equation that describes the actual reaction taking place in aqueous solution
~eliminate spectator from overall ionic equation to get this
Term
strong acids
Definition
Dissociate completely in water
Term
weak acid
Definition
Do not dissociate completely in water
Term
Strong base
Definition
dissociates completely into an aq solution
Term
weak base
Definition
partially dissociates into an aq solution
Term
titration
Definition
A method to determine the concentration of a solute in a sample by reacting it with a standard solution of known concentration
Term
titrant
Definition
The solution of known concentration
Term
How to find concentration of unknown solution
Definition
1)use volume and molarity of standard solution to get moles standard solution
2)use stoichiometry to get moles of unknown
3) divide by L used to get mol/l (Molarity)[concentration]
Term
Precipitation reaction
Definition
Two solutions containing ions are mixed and a solid forms
Term

Loses electrons
Term
Reduction
Definition
Gains electrons
Term
Oxidation state
Definition
The charge an atom has
Term
Oxidation state rules
Definition
1)Oxidation numbers in the neutral molecule will sum to 0.
2)pure elements have an oxidation # of 0
3)in monoatomic ions the oxidation number is the charge on the ion
4)in compounds containing fluorine the OS will always be -1
5)In most compounds the oxidation # of hydrogen is +1 and oxygen is -2 (except in metal hydrides[-1 for hydrogen] and peroxide ions[-1 for oxygens])
6) unless combined with oxygen or fluorine, chlorine and bromine have an O# of -1
