Cards

Term
Strong Electrolytes
Definition
  • any soluble ionic compound
  • strong acids= HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, HClO4, H2SO4
  • strong bases= any group I+II OH-
Term
Non-Electrolytes
Definition
  • covalent or molecular compounds

pure H20, CH3OH, C2H5OH

 

(C,H,O and N are all non-metals)

Term
Weak Electrolytes
Definition

Weak acids and bases

 

HF, C2H4O2, NH3 «(Base; Weird!)

acetic acid

Term
complete ionic equation
Definition
shows the charges of all of the elements in a molecular equation (except for solid, liquid, or gaseous compounds which do not dissociated)
Term

oxidation

reduction

Definition

oxidation- loss of electrons

reduction- addition of electrons

Term
Atom in an elemental state has an oxidation number of...
Definition
ZERO
Term
The oxidation number of Hydrogen can be
Definition

+1 when binding to a nonmental

-1 when binding to a metal

Term
Oxygen usually has an oxidation number of
Definition
-2, except in peroxides when its oxidation number is -1
Term

Halogens usually have an oxidation number of     

except when           

Definition

-1

Cl, Br, I are bonded to Oxygen, in which case the oxidation number becomes +1

Term
pH
Definition

pH= -log[H+]

[H+]=concentration of hydronium ions
