Ch. 4,5,6 information
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Chemical Change | changes 1 substance into an entirely new substance with new properties |
Chemical Equations | expression using chemical formulas to indicate reactants and products of a chemical reaction |
Aqueous Solution | solution in which the solvent is water |
Solvent | component of mixture in the greater amount (often water) |
Solute | component of mixture in lesser amount (electrolytes and nonelectrolytes) |
Electrolyte | compound that breaks into ions when dissolved in water and conducts electricity (ionic compounds,acids,bases) |
Nonelectrolyte | compound that does not break into ions when dissolved in water and does not conduct electricity (molecular compounds) |
Molecular Equation | full chemical equation of both reactants and products with physical state listed |
Ionic Equation | complete breakdown of molecular equation that breaks apart aq compound into individual ions |
Net Ionic Equation | leaves out extra info from the ionic equation |
Acids | produce H+ when dissolved in water |
Strong Acid | will dissociate 100% in water; only ions are present |
Weak Acid | partially dissociates in water; ions and molecules are present |
Bases | produce OH- when dissolved in water |
Stoichiometry | numerical relationship between chemical quantities in a balanced equation |
Percent Yield | comparison of actual to theoretical percent yield |
Actual Yield | no calculation; experimentally determined (product) |
Theoretical Yield | requires stoichiometric calculation (reactant) |
Limiting Reactant | comparison of one reactant to another indirectly through amount of product produced (lowest product) |
Kinetic Molecular Theory | theory of gases. Particles are in constant motion, moving in straight paths |
Pressure | force exerted by gas against wall of container atmosphere (atm, psi, mm of mercury) |
Volume | space occupied by a gas (L, mL, cm3) |
Temperature | factor that determined kinetic energy of particles (K, C) |
Amount | quantity of gas present in container (mol, g) |
Boyle's Law | describes how volume of a gas is changed as pressure is changed |
Charle's Law | how volume of a gas is changed as temp is changed |
Gay-Lussac's Law | how pressure of a gas is changed as temp is changed |
Combined Law | 3 laws comparing P,V,T |
Ideal Gas Law | R=PV/nT |
Dalton's Law | each component of the mixture is said to exert a pressure called partial pressure |
Ptot | total pressure of a mixture is the sum of the pressure of its compounds |
