Chemistry II Aqueous Reactions and Solution Chemistry Chapter 4 In this chapter we will consider chemical processes that occur in aqueous solutions: precipitation reactions, acid base reactions and oxidation – reduction reactions. We will then consider concentrations and how the concepts of stoichiometry can be applied to concentrations. Water has many properties that allow it to help support life. One of these properties is that it can dissolve a wide variety of materials. For this reason water is often referred to as what? Water has many properties that allow it to help support life. One of these properties is that it can dissolve a wide variety of materials. For this reason water is often referred to as what? The universal solvent What are aqueous solutions? What are aqueous solutions? Solutions in which water is the dissolving medium. Section 1: General Properties of Aqueous Solutions Define solution: Define solution: A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. What is the difference between solvent and solute? What is the difference between solvent and solute? The substance that is present in greater quantity is usually called the solvent. The other substances in the solution are solutes. Solutes are dissolved in the solvent. Electrolytic Properties Pure water is not a good conductor of electricity. The presence of ions causes aqueous solutions to become good conductors. Ions carry the charge from one electrode to the next. What is an electrolyte? What is an electrolyte? A substance whose aqueous solutions contains ions. What is a non-electrolyte? What is a non-electrolyte? A substance that does not form ions in solution. Ionic Compounds in water What does it mean when we say “ an ionic solid dissociates” into its component ions as it dissolves?” What does it mean when we say “ an ionic solid dissociates” into its component ions as it dissolves?” Each ion separates from the solid structure and disperses throughout the solution. What is a polar molecule. Explain the significance of this fact with respect to the dissociation of ionic solids. What is a polar molecule. Explain the significance of this fact with respect to the dissociation of ionic solids. What is a polar molecule. Explain the significance of this fact with respect to the dissociation of ionic solids. A polar molecule has one end that has a partial positive charge and a partial negative charge. Although water is an electrically neutral molecule, one end of the molecule is electron rich and carries a partial negative charge. The hydrogen side of the molecule has a partial positive charge. When ionic compounds dissolve the anions are surrounded by the water molecules so that the hydrogen side of the molecule surrounds the anion. The cations are surrounded by the oxygen side of the water molecule. This configuration stabilizes the ions in solution. How can we predict the charges of the ions present in solution? How can we predict the charges of the ions present in solution? Remember the formulas and charges of the common ions. i.e., Na2SO4 will separate into two Na+ ions and one SO42- ions. In solution for every one sodium sulfate three ions are formed. Molecular Compounds in Water When a molecular compound dissolves in water, the solution usually consists of intact molecules dispersed throughout the solution. Usually molecular compounds are nonelectrolytes. An exception to this rule is acids In what way do acids appear to not follow the rule? In what way do acids appear to not follow the rule? Acids are molecular compounds that will disassociate or ionize into ions in aqueous solutions. + HCl → H + Cl The two categories of electrolytes are strong and weak electrolytes What are strong electrolytes? What are strong electrolytes? Those solutes that exist in solution completely or nearly completely as ions. Most ionic compounds and some acids and bases are strong electrolytes. What are weak electrolytes? Those solutes that exist in solution in the form of molecules but only partially disassociated into ions. Can you determine if a solute is a strong or weak electrolyte by how well it dissolves? Can you determine if a solute is a strong or weak electrolyte by how well it dissolves? No, for example acetic acid (vinegar) is very soluble in water, but only partially dissociates into ions. How can we indicate that an electrolyte is a weak electrolyte? How can we indicate that an electrolyte is a weak electrolyte? We can use double arrows to show that the reaction is significant in both directions. HC2H3O2(aq) ↔ H+(aq) + C2H3O2-(aq) * The state of equilibrium between molecules and ions varies from one weak electrolyte to another. How do chemists indicate the ionization of strong electrolytes? How do chemists indicate the ionization of strong electrolytes? With the use of a single arrow. HCl (aq) → H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) The single arrow indicates that the ions have no tendency to recombine to molecules. In a the next few sections we will learn how to predict if a compound is a strong electrolyte, weak electrolyte or non-electrolyte. For now, in general, soluble ionic compounds are always strong electrolytes. How can we identify compounds are being ionic? How can we identify compounds are being ionic? Ionic compounds are composed of metals and nonmetals NaCl FeSO4 Al(NO3)3 NH4Br The diagram on the right represents an aqueous solution of one of the following compounds: MgCl2, KCl, or K2SO4. Which solution does the drawing best represent? If you were to draw diagrams (such as that shown on exercise 4.1) representing aqueous solutions of each of the following ionic compounds, how many anions would you show if the diagram contained six cations? (a) NiSO4, (b) Ca(NO3)2, (c) Na3PO4, (d) Al2(SO4)3 Homework Page 145 1-9 Section 2_ Precipitation Reactions What are precipitation reactions? What are precipitation reactions? Reactions that result in the formation of an insoluble product. What is a precipitate? What is a precipitate? An insoluble solid formed by a reaction in solution. When do precipitation reaction occur? Precipitation reactions occur when certain pairs of oppositely charged ions attract each other so strongly that they form an insoluble ionic solid. For example Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2KI(aq)→ PbI2(s) + 2KNO3(aq) Solubility Guidelines for Ionic compounds What is solubility ? What is solubility ? The amount of substance that can be dissolved in a given quantity of solvent. Any substance with a solubility less than 0.001 mol/L is referred to as insoluble. Experimental observations have led to guidelines for predicting solubility (page 118 Table 4.1) Sample exercise 4.2 Classify the following ionic compounds as soluble or insoluble in water: (a) sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), (b) lead sulfate (PbSO4). Classify the following compounds as soluble or insoluble in water: (a) cobalt(II) hydroxide, (b) barium nitrate, (c) ammonium phosphate. How can we predict whether a precipitate forms when we mix aqueous solutions of two strong electrolytes? 1.) note the ions present in the reactants. How can we predict whether a precipitate forms when we mix aqueous solutions of two strong electrolytes? 1.) note the ions present in the reactants. 2.) Consider possible combinations of cations and anions. How can we predict whether a precipitate forms when we mix aqueous solutions of two strong electrolytes? 3.) Use solubility guidelines to determine if any combinations are insoluble How can we predict whether a precipitate forms when we mix aqueous solutions of two strong electrolytes? For example, will a precipitate form when Mg(NO3)2 and NaOH are mixed? Precipitation reactions are a type of double replacement reactions. They are also known as exchange or metathesis reactions. AX + BY → AY + BX AgNO3 + KCl → AgCl + KNO3 Exchange (Metathesis) Reactions In exchange reactions the chemical formulas of the products are based on the charges of the ions. Sample exercise 4.3 (a) Predict the identity of the precipitate that forms when solutions of BaCl2 and K2SO4 are mixed. (b) Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction. (a) What compound precipitates when solutions of Fe2(SO4)3 and LiOH are mixed? (b) Write a balanced equation for the reaction. Will a precipitate form when solutions of Ba(NO3)2 and KOH are mixed? Ionic Equations In writing chemical equations for reactions in aqueous solutions, it is often helpful to know if the dissolved substances are present mainly as molecules or as ions. For example: Molecular EquationPb(NO3)2(aq) + 2KI(aq) → PbI2(s) + 2KNO3(aq) Ionic Equation Pb+2(aq)+2NO3(aq)-+2K+(aq)+ 2I-(aq)→ PbI2(s) + 2K+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) What is a complete ionic equation? An equation such as the one above written with all strong electrolytes written as ions. What are spectator ions? Ions that appear in identical forms on both the reactant and product side of the equation. What are spectator ions? Pb+2(aq)+2NO3(aq)-+2K+(aq)+ 2I-(aq)→ PbI2(s) + 2K+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) What is a net ionic equation? What is a net ionic equation? When the spectator ions are cancelled out we are left with the net ionic equation. Pb+2(aq) + 2I-(aq)→ PbI2(s) Note: if every ion in a complete ionic equation is a spectator ion, then no reaction occurs. The net ionic equation includes only the ions and molecules directly involved in the reaction. How can net ionic equations be used? They can be used to show similarities between large numbers of reactions A net ionic equation shows that more than one set of reactions can lead to the same net reaction. What are the steps for writing net ionic equations? What are the steps for writing net ionic equations? 1.) Write a balanced molecular equation for the reaction. 2.)

Write the net ionic equation for the precipitation reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and potassium phosphate are mixed. 4.3 Acid Base Reactions Acids and bases happen to be common electrolytes. Acids What are acids? What are acids? Acids are substances that ionize in aqueous solutions to form hydrogen ions, increasing the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution. Because hydrogen ions are just a proton, acids are known as proton donors. The number of hydrogen ions produced depends on the number of hydrogen atoms present. Acids like HCl and HNO3 yield one hydrogen ion per molecule. Some acids such as H2SO4 yield 2 hydrogen ions. What is the difference between a monoprotic an diprotic acid? What is the difference between a monoprotic an diprotic acid? Acids • • that yield one hydrogen ion are monoprotic such as HCl HCl → H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) Acids that yield two hydrogen ions are diprotic i.e., H2SO4 H2SO4 → 2H+(aq) + SO42-(aq) Bases What are bases? What are bases? Bases are substances that accept H+ ions thereby reducing the number of H+ ions in solution. Bases produce OH- ions when dissolved in water. When bases are dissolved in water they release OH- and create more OH- ions by bonding to all of the available H+ ions. What are bases? Some bases do not contain OH NH3 is an example NH3 + H2O → NH4+ + OH Strong And Weak Acids and Bases What are strong and bases? What are strong and bases?

Ca What are oxidation – reduction (redox) reactions? Reactions in which electrons are transferred between reactants. What is oxidation? When an atom becomes positively charged. When it has lost electrons Loss of electrons by a substance is called oxidation. The term oxidation is used because the first reactions of this sort to be studied were reactions with oxygen. What is reduction? Gain of electrons from a substance. The oxidation of one substance is always accompanied by the reduction of another substance. Oxidation Numbers What are oxidation numbers? The oxidation number of an atom in a substance is the actual charge of the atom if it is a monoatomic ion or it is the hypothetical charge assigned using a set of rules Rules for assigning oxidation numbers 1.) For an atom in the elemental form, the oxidation number is always zero. H2, Ca, O2 Rules for assigning oxidation numbers 2.) For any monatomic ion, the oxidation number equals the charge on the ion K+ = 1 + S2- = 2- Rules for assigning oxidation numbers 3.) non-metals usually have negative oxidation numbers. oxygen is usually 2- w/ the exception of the peroxide ion (O2) which has the oxidation number 1 a.) Rules for assigning oxidation numbers b.) hydrogen has an oxidation number of 1+ when bonded to a nonmetal [(HCl) H 1+ ; Cl 1-] and has a oxidation of 1- when bonded to a metal [ CaH2 – Ca 2+ , H 1-] Rules for assigning oxidation numbers The sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a nuetral compound is zero.
