Hydrated Salts and Acid Salts

Vocabulary flashcards covering hydrated salts, acid salts, chemical nomenclature, and polyatomic ions from the lecture notes.

Hydrates

Compounds that contain $H_2O$ in their molecular structure, which can usually be removed if heated.

Acid Salts

Compounds formed when only some of the hydrogen atoms in an acid are replaced by a metal.

$$CuSO_4 \cdot 5H_2O$$

Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate

$$Na_2CO_3 \cdot H_2O$$

Sodium carbonate monohydrate

$$BaCl_2 \cdot 2H_2O$$

Barium chloride dihydrate

$$NaHCO_3$$

Sodium hydrogen carbonate (also known as sodium bicarbonate)

$$NaHSO_4$$

Sodium hydrogen sulfate (also known as sodium bisulfate)

$$Ca(HCO_3)_2$$

Calcium bicarbonate, formed from limestone ($CaCO_3$) and carbonic acid ($H_2CO_3$)

$$C_2H_3O_2^-$$

Acetate ion

$$OH^-$$

Hydroxide ion

$$NH_4^+$$

Ammonium ion
