Chapter 4 Aqueous Reactions and Solution Stoichiometry
4.1 General Properties of Aqueous Solutions
• Solutions are homogeneous mixtures.
• The solvent is present in greatest abundance.
• All other substances are solutes (they are dissolved in the solvent).
Dissociation
• When an ionic substance dissolves in water, the solvent pulls the individual ions from the crystal and solvates them
(dissociation).
KCl(aq) = K+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
CuSO4(aq) = Cu+2(aq) + SO42-(aq)
K2SO4(aq) = 2 K+ (aq) + SO42-(aq)
Electrolytes
• An electrolyte is a substance that dissociates into ions when dissolved in water; therefore, it will conduct electricity.
Nonelectrolytes
• A nonelectrolyte may dissolve in water, but it does not dissociate into ions when it does so.
• Molecular compounds tend to be nonelectrolytes, except for acids and bases.
Electrolyte’s Strength
• A strong electrolyte dissociates completely when dissolved in water.
• A weak electrolyte only dissociates partially when dissolved in water.

4.2 Precipitation Reaction
•
•
AX(aq) + BZ(aq) → AZ + BX
If either AZ or BX is an insoluble compound, there is a chemical reaction.
If no precipitate (solid) is formed, then NR.
Solubility of Ionic Compounds
The solubility of ionic compounds varies:
We say a compound is “soluble” if a noticeable amount dissolves.
A compound is “insoluble/slightly soluble” if less than 0.01 mol/L dissolves (often times is much less). We don’t see a change.
Solubility Rules (Handout)
Problem 1

Precipitation Reaction
KI(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → KNO3(aq) + AgI(s)
A solid (precipitate) forms out of two aqueous solutions.
Process for Predicting the Products of a Precipitation Reaction
• For Reactants: Determine what ions each aqueous reactant has
Ex. Mix: AgNO3 (aq) + KCl (aq)
Ions present: Ag+ (aq), NO3- (aq), K+ (aq), Cl- (aq)
• To get the Products: Exchange ions
(+) ion from one reactant with (-) ion from other
AgCl and KNO3
(Write correct formulas: charges!! Neutral overall.)
•
Determine solubility of each product in water and write their phases.
– Solubility rules
– If product is insoluble or slightly soluble, it will precipitate.
AgCl (s), KNO3(aq)
•
Balance the equation
– Count atoms
AgNO3(aq) + KCl(aq)  AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq)
Example 1
Mix: K2CrO4 (aq) + Ba (NO3)2 (aq)
K2CrO4 (aq) + Ba(NO3)2 (aq) → BaCrO4 (s) + 2 KNO3 (aq)
Example 2
Mix: KNO3 (aq) + BaCl2 (aq)
KNO3 (aq) + BaCl2 (aq) → Ba(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 KCl (aq)
All the dissolved ions remain in solution. NR!
(No chemical change takes place.)
Ionic Equations
Three types of equations are used to describe Reactions in Aqueous Solutions:
1. Molecular Equation – Shows all formulas.
2. Complete Ionic Equation – Shows all compounds as they actually exist.
3. Net Ionic Equation – Shows only those ions that undergo a change (spectator ions are cancelled).
Example 1:
• Molecular:
Na2CO3(aq) + BaCl2(aq)  2NaCl(aq) + BaCO3(s)
• Ionic:
2Na+(aq) + CO32-(aq) + Ba2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)  2Na+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) + BaCO3(s)
• Net ionic:
CO32-(aq) + Ba2+(aq)  BaCO3(s)
(cancel: Na+ and Cl- - unchanged)

Fossum-Reyes

•
•
Ionic equation: An equation in which ions are explicitly shown.
Spectator ion: An ion that appears unchanged on both sides of a reaction arrow.
Net ionic equation: An equation that does not include spectator ions.
Example 2:
• Molecular:
2AgNO3(aq) + Na2CrO4(aq) → Ag2CrO4(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)
• Ionic:
2Ag+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) + 2Na+(aq) + CrO42-(aq) →
Ag2CrO4(s) + 2Na+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq)
• Net ionic:
2Ag+(aq) + CrO42-(aq) → Ag2CrO4(s)
(cancel: Na+ and NO3- - unchanged)
Problem 2
Aqueous nickel (II) nitrate is added to aqueous potassium carbonate, is there a reaction? If so, write the molecular, total ionic
and net ionic equations for it.
Problem 3
Write the net ionic equation for:
a. FeCl3 (aq) + NaOH (aq)
b. Ba(NO3)2 (aq) + (NH4)3PO4 (aq)
c. NaCl (aq) + Cu(NO3)2 (aq)
4.3 Acids, Bases, and Neutralization Reactions
Acids – Taste sour and have a low pH. (Turn litmus paper red.)
• Arrhenius: substances that increase the concentration of H+ when dissolved in water.
• Brønsted and Lowry: proton donors.
Bases – Taste bitter and have a high pH. (Turn litmus paper blue.)
• Arrhenius: Increase the concentration of OH− when dissolved in water.
• Brønsted and Lowry: proton acceptors.
Strong and Weak Acids and Bases
Strong acids and bases ionize 100% in solution.

Fossum-Reyes
Neutralization Reactions
Generally, when solutions of an acid and a base are combined, the products are a salt and water.
CH3COOH (aq) + NaOH (aq) CH3COONa (aq) + H2O (l)
When a strong acid reacts with a strong base, the net ionic equation is…
HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq)  NaCl (aq) + H2O (l)
H+ (aq) + OH- (aq)  H2O (l)
Polyprotic acids (H2SO3,H2CO3, H3PO4) lose one H+ at a time; the first H+ is the easiest to lose. The other protons can be forced
out by an excess of base.
Mix equal # of moles:
1 mol NaOH + 1 mol H2SO3 → H2O + NaHSO3
Using excess base:
2 NaOH + H2SO3 → H2O (l) + Na2SO3 (aq)
Problem 4
Write the molecular, total ionic, and net ionic equations for the reactions of H3PO4 with excess NaOH. (Hint: This is a weak
acid.)
Gas-Forming Reactions
As it turns out, this happens:
H2CO3 (aq)  H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
H2SO3 (aq)  H2O (l) + SO2 (g)
NH4OH (aq)  H2O (l) + NH3 (g)
•
Carbonates and bicarbonates with acids produce H2CO3.
CaCO3 (s) + HCl (aq)  CaCl2 (aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l)
NaHCO3 (aq) + HBr (aq) NaBr (aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l)
H2CO3 (aq)
Baking soda is used to:
- Neutralize acid spills.
- Make baked goods rise.
•
Here, the expected product H2SO3 (aq), but it decomposes.
SrSO3 (s) + 2 HI (aq) SrI2 (aq) + SO2 (g) + H2O (l)
•
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has a low solubility in water; therefore, reactions that produce it will form a gas (smells like
rotten egg).
Na2S (aq) + H2SO4 (aq)  Na2SO4 (aq) + H2S (g)
4
Fossum-Reyes
• Ammonium salt + strong base.
Here, NH4OH (aq), decomposes:
NH4Cl (aq) + NaOH (aq)  H2O (l) + NH3 (g) + NaCl (aq)
Problem 5
Predict the products. Write the molecular, total and net ionic equations.
a. CuCO3(s) + HBr(aq)
b. (NH4)2S(aq) + HClO4(aq)
4.4 Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
• An oxidation occurs when an atom or ion loses electrons.
• A reduction occurs when an atom or ion gains electrons.
• One cannot occur without the other.
Combustion reactions and corrosion (rusting of metals) are two examples.
To determine if an oxidation-reduction reaction has occurred, we assign an oxidation number to each element in a neutral
compound or charged entity.
Oxidation Numbers
• Elements in natural elemental state have oxidation number = 0.
• The oxidation number of a monatomic ion is the same as its charge.
• Nonmetals tend to have negative oxidation numbers, although some are positive in certain compounds or ions.
 Oxygen has an oxidation number of −2, except in the peroxide ion in which it has an oxidation number of −1.
 Hydrogen is −1 when bonded to a metal, +1 when bonded to a nonmetal.
 Fluorine always has an oxidation number of −1.
 The other halogens have an oxidation number of −1 when they are negative; they can have positive oxidation
numbers, however, most notably in oxyanions.
•
•
The sum of the oxidation numbers in a neutral compound is 0.
The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is the charge on the ion.
5
Fossum-Reyes
Problem 6
Determine the oxidation numbers:
Li2O
H3PO4
MnO4–
Cr2O72–
C7H8
Problem 7
Identify what’s oxidized and what’s reduced:
Cu(s) + 2 NO3– + 4H+ → Cu2+ + 2 NO2 + 2 H2O
Single Displacement Reactions
• In General:
A + BZ → AZ + B
Two outcomes:
• If the reaction happens, we say that A is more active than B (and displaces it).
• If the reaction doesn’t happen, then B is more active than A (i.e. A cannot displace it).
Example 1
Cu (s) + HgCl2 (aq)  CuCl2 (aq) + Hg (l)
Orange
colorless
pale blue silvery or black
BUT
Hg (l) + CuCl2 (aq)  NO Reaction!!
Which one is more active?
Example 2
Cu (s) + 2 Ag+ (aq)  Cu2+ (aq) + 2 Ag (s)
(net ionic eq.)
Displacement Reactions
1. Metal and aqueous solution
Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
Fe(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Fe2+(aq) + Cu(s)
(Net Ionic)
2. Metal and aqueous acid solution
Fe(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → FeCl2(aq) + H2(g)
Fe(s) + 2 H+(aq) → Fe2+(aq) + H2(g)
(Net Ionic)
• Metals less active than (H) show no reaction:
Au(s) + H2SO4(aq) → NR
3. Active metal and water
Ca(s) + 2 H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)
6
Fossum-Reyes
Use the Activity Series to Make Predictions
Problem 8
Predict whether a single displacement reaction will occur. Write the equation for the reaction. (Use the activity series)
a. Cu(s) + Pb(NO3)2(aq)
b. Pb(s) + HCl(aq)
4.5 Concentrations of Solutions
Molarity is one way to measure the concentration of a solution.
𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑒
𝑀𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦 (𝑀) =
𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑛 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠
The volume of the solution includes the volume of the solute and the solvent.
Problem 9
If you dissolve 32.0 g NaCl in 100. mL of solution, what is the molarity?
Moles of solute
Using Molarity
Molarity (M) =
• Since:
Liters of solution
Knowing two of the three allows us to find the unknown easily. (Simply solve for it.)
Always use consistent units.
Problem 10
What volume of 2.00 M HCl solution contains 15.0 g HCl?
Problem 11
How many grams of K2Cr2O7 are there in 250.0 mL of 0.100 M K2Cr2O7?
Molarity & Dissociation
• CaCl2(aq) = Ca+2(aq) + 2 Cl-1(aq)
• A 1.0 M CaCl2(aq) solution contains 1.0 moles of CaCl2 units in each liter of solution
• Since each CaCl2 furnishes one Ca+2, it follows that 1.0 M CaCl2 = 1.0 M Ca+2
• Since each CaCl2 furnishes 2 Cl-1, it follows that 1.0 M CaCl2 = 2.0 M Cl-1

Problem 12
If the concentration of a solution of Cr2(SO4)3 is 0.30 M, what are the concentrations of all ions in solution?
Steps involved in the preparation of a standard aqueous solution.
• We have to know the mass (and, therefore, number of moles) of the solute.
• The solute is added to a volumetric flask.
Don’t ever go beyond the calibration mark… Or you’ll have to start all over again...
Dilution
• Dilution: Lowering concentration by adding additional solvent.
• Dilution factor: The ratio of the initial and final solution volumes (V1/V2).
• In the dilution process, the amount of solute remains constant, only the volume is increased.
𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑒 = 𝑀𝑐 ×𝑉𝑐 = 𝑀𝑑 ×𝑉𝑑 = 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡
• We will always know three out of the four so we can always solve for the unknown.
Problem 13
What volume of 6.0 M NaOH needs to be diluted to prepare 5.00 L if 0.10 M NaOH?
How to prepare a diluted solution
Again: Don’t go beyond the calibration mark…
4.6 Solution Stoichiometry and Chemical Analysis
• We have a new way to calculate the number of moles:
aA + bB→ cC + dD

You should get a slightly pink color.

Problem 18
An impure sample containing oxalic acid (H2C2O4) weighs 1.278 g. If 32.18 mL of 0.3526 M NaOH is needed to reach the
endpoint, what was the mass-% of oxalic acid in the mixture?
Problem 19

the endpoint. What is the molar mass of the acid?
