ionic equation

Cards (19)

  • Solute
    The dissolved substance in a solution
  • Solvent
    The dissolving medium in a solution
  • Solution
    A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances
  • Homogeneous
    A solution that is uniform in composition
  • Mixture
    A combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined
  • Dissolve
    To cause a solute to pass into a solution
  • Molecular Equation
    An equation in which the formulas of the compounds are written as though all species existed as molecules or whole units
  • Ionic Equation
    An equation that shows dissolved species (soluble salts, acids, or bases) as free ions
  • Net Ionic Equation
    An equation that shows only the ions that are directly involved in the reaction, with spectator ions removed
  • Spectator Ions
    Ions present on both the product and reactant side that do not participate directly in the reaction
  • Electrolytes
    • Salts
    • Strong Acids
    • Strong Bases
  • Solids, Liquids, & Gases do not break into ions
  • Salts that are soluble will ionize
  • Strong Acids and Strong Bases will completely ionize
  • The Solubility Table is used to determine if a salt will ionize
  • Writing Net Ionic Equations
    1. Write and balance the molecular equation
    2. Use solubility table to determine solubility of salts
    3. Break molecules into ions, writing proper charges and using coefficients to balance atom count
    4. Cancel spectator ions and rewrite
  • poor soluble salts do not ionize
  • strong acids- formed from the group VIIA nonmetals Br, Cl, I are strong
  • strong base - bases formed from the group IA and IIA metals are strong with the exception of Be, Mg, and Fr
