Chapter 4 Outline:
Aqueous Reactions and Solution Stoichiometry
4.1 – General Properties of Aqueous Solutions (pg. 122)
1. What are aqueous solutions?
2. Define solution and relate solute and solvent.
3. Explain why ionic solutions are conductive when dissolved in water and define electrolyte,
dissociation, and solvation.
4. Explain what happens to molecular compounds when dissolved in aqueous solutions and define
nonelectrolyte.
5. Define strong electrolytes and weak electrolytes.
6. Identify what kinds of compounds are strong electrolytes.
4.2 – Precipitation Reactions (pg. 126)
1. What are precipitation reactions and what is a precipitate?
2. What are the solubility rules and how were they developed?
3. What is the general formula of a double replacement (aka: metathesis) reaction?
4. What is the difference between a complete ionic equation and net ionic equation?
5. Define spectator ions.
6. Summarize the steps for writing net ionic equations.
4.3 – Acid-Base Reactions (pg.131)
1. What are strong acids and strong bases? List the compounds that fall into these 2 categories.
2. Make a table defining strong electrolytes, weak electrolytes and nonelectrolytes.
4.4 – Oxidation-Reduction Reactions (pg. 137)

Skip to pg. 142
1. Define oxidation (check glossary pg. G-9)
2. What is the activity series of metals?
3. What is an active metal? Where are they found on the activity series?
4. What are the noble metals? Where are they found on the activity series?
