Strong Acids Strong acid: A strong acid dissociates almost 100 % in water. E. g. in water HNO3(aq) H3O+(aq)+ NO3-(aq) ess. 100%
Strong Acids The list of common strong acids is short. It is HCl HNO3 HClO3 HBr H2SO4 HClO4 HI Know this list. There are other more exotic strong acids, but these are not commonly encountered. Any acid not on this list can be regarded as weak.
Strong bases Strong base: A strong base dissociates almost 100 % in water. E. g. in water NaOH(aq) Na+(aq)+ OH-(aq) ess. 100%
The list of common strong bases is short. It is LiOH NaOH KOH RbOH CsOHBa(OH)2* * Solubility limited. Know this list. There are other more exotic strong bases, but these are not commonly encountered. Any base not on this list can be regarded as weak.
A. A typical metal combined with a typical nonmetal will yield an ionic compound.
A. A typical metal combined with a typical nonmetal will yield an ionic compound. B. A typical nonmetal combined with a typical nonmetal will yield a molecular compound.
A. A typical metal combined with a typical nonmetal will yield an ionic compound. B. A typical nonmetal combined with a typical nonmetal will yield a molecular compound. Lots of exceptions, particularly further down the periodic table.

Quantitative Aspects of Chemical Reactions Objective: The study of the quantitative relations between amounts of reactants and products. Stoichiometry: The stoichiometry of a reaction is the description of the relative quantities by moles of the reactants and products as given by the coefficients of the balanced equation for the reaction.
Stoichiometry Calculations Coefficients in a balanced chemical equation give relative quantities of reactants and products by moles as well as by molecules.
Stoichiometry Calculations Coefficients in a balanced chemical equation give relative quantities of reactants and products by moles as well as by molecules. Example: 2 H2 + O2 2H2O This can be read as: 2molecules of H2 react with 1molecule of O2 to give 2molecules of water.
Or multiply both sides by 6.02 x 1023 (Avogadro’s number), so we can read the equation as:
Or multiply both sides by 6.02 x 1023 (Avogadro’s number), so we can read the equation as: 2moles of H2 react with 1mole of O2 to give 2moles of water.
Or multiply both sides by 6.02 x 1023 (Avogadro’s number), so we can read the equation as: 2moles of H2 react with 1mole of O2 to give 2moles of water. This statement in terms of moles will be the most useful one for solving stoichiometry problems.

This statement in terms of moles will be the most useful one for solving stoichiometry problems. The essential idea is that the ratio of reactants and products is 2 : 1: 2 in both statements.
