Refresher on Ionic Naming
(metal and nonmetal)
I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X
Formula to name:
1. Convert metal symbol to a name using the periodic table
If it is Sn or Pb or it is a D-Block metal (except Scandium family (3+) , Ag (1+) Zn (2+),
Cd (2+))
It will need a roman numeral
To get the roman numeral, uncriss cross the subscripts and make them
superscripts.
PbBr2
Pb Br2
Pb2+ Br(Bromine is 1- from the periodic table)
Check the negative charge…is it correct?? If yes, then so is the metal. Convert
the number the metal has to a roman numeral and put it after the metal’s name.
so in the above example the metal would be lead (II), which makes the
full name lead (II) bromide.
Another example:
SnSO4
SO4 is a polyatomic so it looks like Sn is + and SO4 is – since they are in a one to one ratio
BUT from the the charge of SO4 is 2- which means Sn must be 2+ ,tin (II), which makes
the full name tin (II) sulfate.
2. Convert the anion to a name
a. If it is a single element, it is named after an element on the periodic table.
Make sure the name ends with – IDE
(IDE—I’d check the table)
b. If it is a polyatomic ion , name the polyatomic ion. Remember though,
if it matches the –ate ion exactly, it will end in ATE
If it has one more oxygen then changes to
If it has one less oxygen then changes to
If it has 2 less oxygens then changes to
PER….…ATE
---ITE
HYPO……ITE
3
Ionic Name to formula:
1. Convert the metal to its symbol
You need its charge (it will be a positive superscript)
If it has a roman numeral – that is the charge – it is positive
If it doesn’t have a roman numeral you have to get it from the periodic table
2. Convert the nonmetal to its symbol (it will be a negative superscript)
If it is a single element from the periodic table – use the oxidation pattern
If it is a polyatomic, use the charge for that ion.
3. To get the balanced formula you must criss cross
If the subscripts can be simplified…you must do that!
Ex: Iron (III) bromate
= Fe3+ BrO3- =
Fe3+ BrO3-
=
Fe(BrO3)3
_______________________________________________________________________
Refresher on Covalent Naming
(2 nonmetals)
mono di tri tetra penta hexa hepta octa nona deca
Formula to Name:
1. Name the first nonmetal as it appears on the periodic table.
Put a prefix counter in front of it to tell how many of them there are (see above).
If there is only one…do not use the term mono – just use the element name
2. Name the second nonmetal
a. Name the element from the periodic table and change the ending to -IDE
Put a prefix counter in front of it to tell how many of them there are.
If there is only one – you must use the term mono !
Name to Formula:
1. Turn the first element name into a symbol
a. If there is a prefix in front of it - convert it into a subscript after the element symbol
b. If there is not a prefix, assume there is one of that element
2. Turn the second element into a symbol
a. Take the prefix in front of it and convert it into a subscript after the element symbol
4
Refresher on Acids Naming
(H + nonmetal or polyatomic ion)
Binary Acids: (H + a nonmetal element)
1. Start the name with hydro2. Name the nonmetal and change the ending to –ic (sulfur becomes sulfuric; phosphorus
becomes phosphoric).
3. Put the word acid at the end.
Ex) HCl = hydrochloric acid
H2S = hydrosulfuric acid
Ternary or Oxy Acids: (H + a polyatomic ion)
1. Name the polyatomic ion present.
2. If the ion ends in –ate (pernitrate or nitrate), change the ending to –ic.
If the ion ends in –ite (nitrite or hyponitrite), change the ending to –ous.
3. Put the word acid at the end.
Ex) H2CO3 = carbonic acid
H2CO4 = percarbonic acid
H2CO2 = carbonous acid
H2CO = hypocarbonous acid
**Reminder, the amount of hydrogen used in the formula is equivalent to the charge value of the
nonmetal or polyatomic ion.***

Enthalpy and Energy Diagrams
Objectives:



Define enthalpy
Draw and label an energy diagram
Explain the concept of activation energy and activated complex
So far we’ve talked a lot about heat.



Heat is the change in energy due to a temperature difference.
Heat can be used to measure the energy in something
Heat moves from areas of hot to areas of cold.
A change in energy can also be described as a change in enthalpy when the system is at constant pressure
(open to the atmosphere = constant pressure)
Enthalpy: a measure of the energy content of a substance. This includes kinetic and potential. (It also includes
pressure-volume energy but we will ignore this in general chemistry).
Since we will always be dealing with constant pressure systems in chemistry (until we get to the gas laws unit), we
can say
q = H
Just like heat



H > 0 = Endothermic
H < 0 = Exothermic
Units: Joules, J
A visual for the change in energy of a reaction:
Activated

The diagram above shows that



Reactants are at a higher energy state than the products
The reaction is exothermic
An in-between compound (activated complex), is formed

Reaction Coordinate: a step in the process. Reactants have to “morph” into the products.

The change in energy between reactants and products is the change in enthalpy
The reaction is exothermic
The reaction requires some energy before it will start, Activation Energy: Ea

Candles don’t burn until you ignite them
Matches don’t light until you use some of your own energy as you strike them
The food didn’t burn until it was lit
The Nitrogen triiodide (remember explosion video) doesn’t explode until it was tickled
Analogy: Old Love, New Love
Reactants are like you and an old boyfriend/girlfriend…content until you break up. You are in a state of
agitation…activated complex…until you meet and bond with your new boy/girl and you are happy…at a low
energy state….a new product has been formed.
If you are happier than in previous relationship = exothermic
Happier in previous relationship = endothermic
What would an endothermic reaction look like graphically?

HEAT OF SOLUTION
Reminder – Goggles must be worn at all times in the lab
PRE-LAB DISCUSSION:
When salts are dissolved in water, there is often a temperature change associated with the process. Some salts dissolve,
releasing heat in the process. Others dissolve while absorbing heat. As you may remember, processes that proceed with a
release of heat energy are called “exothermic” processes, while those that absorb heat are called “endothermic” processes.
Because energy is released to the surroundings in an exothermic process, the heat of solution would be given a negative value
because the energy of the system is decreasing.
NaOH(s)  Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)
ΔHsolution = - 44.51 kJ/mol
Because energy is absorbed from the surroundings in endothermic processes, the heat of solution would be given a positive
value because the energy of the system is increasing.
KNO3(s)  K+(aq) + NO3-(aq)
ΔHsolution = + 34.89 kJ/mol
In this experiment you will start with a known mass of calcium chloride, ammonium chloride, and a known volume of water. You
will determine the magnitude of the temperature change associated with the dissolving process, and use the masses of the
solute and solvent, the temperature change (called ΔT), and the known heat capacity (specific heat) of water, 4.184 J/(g⋅ °C),
to calculate the heat of solution for the 2 different compounds.
PURPOSE:
To apply the concepts of specific heat and temperature change in the experimental determination of the heat of solution of
two soluble salts, calcium chloride and ammonium chloride.
PROCEDURE:
1. Obtain a Styrofoam cup “calorimeter”. Measure about 40.0 mL of distilled water. Determine the mass of water used and
record this mass below in the observations. Place the water into the calorimeter.
2. Weigh out close to 1.00 grams of calcium chloride. Record the exact mass used.
3. Record the initial temperature of the water in the calorimeter.
4. Add the calcium chloride to the water in the calorimeter, all at once, and begin stirring the solution to dissolve the salt as
rapidly as possible. Stir by swirling the cup with your hand. DO NOT use a glass stir rod, as it will effect your results.
Watch out for the fragile thermometer! Record the new temperature achieved during the dissolving of the salt.
5. Cleanup: Rinse the solution down the sink with LOTS of water. Rinse the Styrofoam cup, and return it to the side counter.
DO NOT throw the Styrofoam cup away – we re-use them. Rinse the thermometer and return it to your lab drawer.
6. Repeat the procedure for ammonium chloride.
RESULTS
Observations and Data:
1. Mass calcium chloride used ________________g
2. Mass of water used ________________g
3. Initial temperature (T1) ________________°C
4. Final temperature (T2) ________________°C
5. Δ temperature ______________________ °C
23
1. Mass ammonium chloride used ________________g
2. Mass of water used ________________g
3. Initial temperature (T1) ________________°C
4. Final temperature (T2) ________________°C
5. Δ temperature ______________________ °C
Calculations: Show your work on a separate sheet of paper!
1. Calculate the energy change for the water as the calcium chloride or ammonium chloride dissolved. In order to do this,
we must assume that the solution has the same specific heat, c , as pure water [ 4.184 J/(g°C) ]. Express your final
answer in kilojoules, kJ!
q = m x c x ΔT
2. Calculate the number of moles of each salt used. (Moles are a unit of measure). Divide the number of grams you used for
each salt by the molar mass of each salt. The molar mass of calcium chloride is 110.98g/mol and the molar mass of
ammonium chloride is 53.49g/mol.
3. The energy change experienced by the water is caused by the energy change experienced by the salt as it dissolved.
Therefore, because of the law of conservation of energy, qwater = q”salt” . The heat of solution is calculated by dividing the
qsalt (in kJ) by the moles of salt dissolved. This is the heat of solution, expressed in kJ/mol of solute.
ΔHsolution = qsalt / mole of salt
4. Using the accepted value of the heat of solution of calcium chloride and the heat of solution of ammonium chloride,
calculate your percent error for each.
