Limiting Reactant
substance that limits the amount of product that can be formed in a reaction the first species that is completely consumed in a reaction limiting reactant quantity determines the maximum amount of a product that can be produced
Excess Reactant
species left over at the end of a reaction after stoichiometric amount of it reacted with limiting reactant
Theoretical Yield
amount of product calculated to form if the limiting reagent is completely reacted - virtually impossible to collect the amount product equal to the theoretical yield
Actual Yield
quantity of product obtained from a chemical reaction
Actual Yield is less than what is theoretically possible:
1. many reactions are reversible - don't go to completion. reversible reactions esult when the products formed are not very stable and react with themselves to regenerate the reactants 2. competing reactions may occur - reduce amount of product formed 3. experimental error - contributes t…
Percent Yield
actual weight recovered divided by theoretical weight * 100%
Redox reaction
reaction in which one or more electrons are transferred between reactant species aka oxidation-reduction reactions oxidation and reduction must occur simultaneously oxidation numbers of two or more atoms change during the course of the reaction
Oxidation
loss of electrons Na --> Na+ + e-
Reduction
gain of electron Cl(2) + 2e- --> 2Cl-
Rules for Assigning Oxidation Numbers
1. oxidation number of an element in elemental state is 0 2. oxidation number of hydrogen in compounds is +1 3. O# of oxygen in compounds is -2 except in hydrogen peroxide H2O2 (-1) 4. monatomic ions in compounds have O#s equal to their charges (S^2- = -2) 5. binary compound: more electro…
more O# rules
8. oxidation numbers of groups IA and IIA metals are always +1 and +2 respectively 9. O#s are assigned on per atom basis. in CL2Om sum of O#s for Cl is +2 (O is -2). since there are two chlorine atoms, each chlorine has a +1 O#
Combination and Decomposition reactions
combination: reaction of two substances that produces new compound A + B -> C decomposition: reaction in which a compound decomposes into two or more substances AB -> A+B decomposition rxns usually require external energy source (heat) to initiate rxn
Single replacement reactions
reaction in which a more reactive element replaces another element from a compound A +BC -> AC + B
Precipitation reactions aka double replacement or metathesis
Reaction in which a solid forms when 2 aqueous solutions are mixed The driving force for a precipitation rxn is the removal of ions from solution must know solubility rules AB + CD -> AD + CB (soluble+soluble -> soluble+insoluble) AB exists are A+ &B- ions and CD exists as C+ & D- ions in…
Acid-Base reactions also metathesis rxns
Bronstead-Lowry Acid: proton (H+) donor: an acid donates a proton to a base in acid-base rxn Bronstead-Lowry Base: proton (H+) acceptor: base accepts proton from acid in rxn HA + B -> HB+ + A base has unshared pair of electrons that form a bond with H+ - coordinate covalent bond
Net Ionic Equations
chemical equation that is written with spectator ions removed
Solubility Rules for ionic compounds
+ - 1. (groupIA)+, NH4+ | NO3-, CH3COO-, ClO3-,ClO4- 2. Pb^2+, Hg2^2+, Ag+ | CO3^2-, PO4^3-, S^2-, 3. | Cl-, Br-, I- 4. Ba^2+ | OH- (except BA^2+, Sr^2+, Ca^2+ 5. | So4^2 (except Sr^2+, Ca^2+ sol, insol, sol, insol, sol order of rules takes precedence

solubility rules
Group I and NH4+ compounds carbonates (except Group I, NH4+ and uranyl compounds) nitrates sulfites (except Group I and NH4+ compounds) acetates (ethanoates) (except Ag+ compounds) phosphates (except Group I and NH4+ compounds) chlorides, bromides and iodides (except Ag+, Pb2+, Cu+ and Hg…
Strong acids
acid that is nearly 100% ionized (separated into ions) in dilute aqueous solution HCl - hydrochloric acid HBr - hydrobromic acid HI - hydroionic acid HNO3 - nitric acid H2SO4 - sulfuric acid HClO3 - chloric acid HClO4 - perchloric acid
Strong Bases
water soluble base that is 100% dissociate in water LiOH - lithium hydroxide NaOH - sodium hydroxide KOH - potassium hydroxide RbOH - rubidium hydroxide CsOH - cesium hydroxide Sr(OH)2 - strontium oxide Ba(OH)2 - barium hydroxide

solvent
does the dissolving
saturated solution
solution containing the max amount of solute that will dissolve at a given temperature
unsaturated solution
solution containing less than the max amount of solute that will dissolve at a given temperature
supersaturated solution
solution containing more than the max amount of solute that will dissolve this results in precipitation
electrolyte
if a solution produces ions upon dissolution in water, the solution will conduct electricity and the solute is classified as an electrolyte compund that ionizes/dissociates into ions when dissolved in water and produces a solution that conducts electricity
strong electrolytes vs weak electrolytes
strong: produces a large quantity of ions and conducts electricity well when dissolved in solution ex. ionic compounds, strong acids, strong bases weal: produces relatively few ions and is a poor conductor
dissociation
process in which an ionic compound separates into ions wehn dissoved in solution
ionization
molecular compound produces ion swhen dissolved in aqueous solution strong electrolytes completely (of nearly 100%) dissociate or ionize in aqueous soitin
mass by volume
(m/v)% = grams of solute/mL soln *100%
mass by mass
(m/m) = grams of solute/grams of solution *100%
molarity
moles of solute/1L of soln = moles of solute/1000mL of soln molarity x liters of soln = moles moles x (1/M) = L moles x (L of soln/moles) = L moles x (1ooomL soln/moles) = mL
