Study Notes
Chemical Equations
- Key components include reactants, products, chemical reactions, and the overall chemical equation.
- Chemical reactions can be represented symbolically.
- Balancing chemical equations requires using coefficients to ensure the number of atoms is the same on both sides.
Precipitation Reactions
- Key information includes understanding what constitutes a precipitation reaction.
- Solubility rules should be used to predict how ions from soluble compounds will combine to form precipitates.
- Molecular equations display complete, electrically neutral formulas for each compound in a reaction.
- Complete ionic equations show all individual ions present in a reaction.
- Spectator ions should be identified in the reaction.
- Net ionic equations indicate only the precipitate formed.
- Acid-base reactions and their corresponding net ionic equations should be understood.
- Types of reactions include combination, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, and combustion.
Formula Mass and the Mole Concept
- The molar mass of a compound must be calculated.
- Calculations should be performed to interconvert between mass, moles, and molecules of a compound.
Composition of Compounds
- Mass percent (mass percent composition) definition is importnant.
- The mass percent must be calculated from a chemical formula.
Chemical Formulas from Experimental Data
- Convert masses into moles, and calculate mole ratios to determine empirical formulas.
- Empirical formulas need to be determined using experimental data.
- Molecular formulas should be determined using empirical formulas and molecular masses.
Reaction Stoichiometry
- Stoichiometry describes the numerical relationships among chemical amounts in a balanced chemical reaction.
- A balanced chemical reaction must be used to calculate the mole relationships between components.
- Calculate the mass of a reactant needed to produce a certain mass of product.
- Determine the mass of a product formed from a certain mass of reactant.
Limiting Reactant, Theoretical Yield, and Percent Yield
- The limiting reactant in a chemical reaction must be found using reactant masses to find the theoretical yield.
- The limiting reactant yields the least amount of the product of interest, otherwise known as the theoretical yield.
- Percent yield is calculated as (Experimental or actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100.
