A | B |
mole | The SI unit used to describe an amount of matter. It is equal to 6.02 x 1023 particles, 22.4L for a gas under standard conditions and a substances atomic mass in grams for mass. |
skeleton equation | A chemical equation that shows formulas but not states or relative quantities. |
single replacement rxn | A reaction that combines an element and a compound and results in the same. Either the cation or anion switches with the other cation or anion. |
double replacement rxn | Two compounds combine to form two other compounds, usually demonstrated as a cloudy solution results. |
decomposition rxn | A single compound breaks down into many. |
synthesis rxn | Many compounds combine to form one. |
combustion rxn | A hydrocarbon combines with oxygen to form water and an nonmetal oxide. |
solubility table | A table that shows whether an inoic compound is soluble in water. Used to predict DR Rxns. |
activity series | A table that shows the relative reactivity of metals. Used to predict the products of a SR Rxn. |
stoichiometry | The study of mass relationships in a chemical reaction. |
molar mass | The sum of the atomic masses for a compound, the mass of one mole of that substance in grams. |
Avogadro | The cool guy that developed the concept of the mole by studying gasses. |
Balanced Reaction | The condition where the number of atoms of each element equals the other. |
Reversible Reaction | A reaction that does not go to completion but instead maintains a balance in rate of production reactants and products. |
Equilibrium | A condition that exists when the rate of the forward reaction equals the reverse. |
Le Chatelier | Another cool guy that demonstrated that when a stress is applied to a system the equilibrium will shift to releave the stress. |
