Chemistry Chapter Four

process in which soluble ionic reactants yield an insoluble solid product that drops out of the solution, thereby removing some of the dissolved ions

process in which an acid reacts with a base to yield water plus an ionic compound called a salt

process in which one or more electrons are transferred between reaction partners

ions (charged)

Substances such as NaCl or KBr, which dissolve in water to produce conductiong solutions of ions 

substance which do not produce ions in aqueous solutions (sucrose/ ethyl alcohol)

• Strong: compounds that dissociate to a large extent into ions when dissolved in water
• Weak: compounds that dissociate to a small extent

• H₂O
• alcohols
• sucrose and organic compounds

• as a bare hydrogen nucleus (a proton) with no electron nearby, H+ is much too reactive to exist by itself.
• They give the hydronium ion, H₃O+

• monoprotic (H+)
• diprotic acid (2 H+)
• triprotic acid (3+)

they contain oxygen in addition to hydrogen and another element

series that ranks the elements in order of their reducing ability in aqueous solutions based on a succession of different reactions

burning of a fuel by oxidation with oxygen in air

uses redox reactions to decolorize or lighten colored materials

the extraction and purfication of metals from their ores

the deterioration of a metal by oxidation
