Ch. 4: Chemical Quantities and Aqueous Reactions Reaction Stoichiometry: Mole Method Calculations Coefficients in balanced equations give the ratio by moles!!! 2 C4H10 + 13 O2 e.g. in the above reaction; 8 CO2 + 10 H2O 2 moles C4H10 react with 13 moles O2 to produce 8 moles CO2 and 10 moles H2O Use these just like other conversion factors! Problem How many moles of O2 are required to react with 0.500 moles of C4H10 according to the balanced equation? 0.500 mol C4H10 x 13 mol O2 2 mol C4H10 = 3.25 mol O2 Example Problem What mass of CO2 could be produced from the combustion of 100 g (3 sig fig) of butane (C4H10)? Always convert given quantities (e.g. grams) to moles!!! grams A moles A moles B grams B will need formula masses to convert between grams and moles: CO2 = 44.01 g/mol Step 1: “grams A 100 g C4H10 x Step 2: “moles A C4H10 = 58.12 g/mol moles A” 1 mol C4H10 58.12 g C4H10 = 1.721 mol C4H10 moles B” 1.721 mol C4H10 x 8 mol CO2 = 6.884 mol CO2 2 mol C4H10 continued on next slide… Example Problem, cont. Step 3: “moles B grams B” 6.884 mol CO2 x 44.01 g CO2 1 mol CO2 = 3.03 x 102 g CO2 Alternatively, the 3 steps can be combined into one unit analysis equation: 100 g C4H10 x 1 mol C4H10 58.12 g C4H10 x 8 mol CO2 2 mol C4H10 3.03 x 102 g CO2 x 44.01 g CO2 1 mol CO2 = Limiting Reactant Calculations • In practice, reagents are often combined in a ratio that is different from that in the balanced chemical equation. One of the reactants will be completely consumed and some of the other will remain unreacted. • The limiting reactant is the one that is completely consumed. It determines the maximum amount (yield) of the products. • Whenever quantities of both reactants are given, the limiting reactant must be determined!!! Example Problem In a commercial process, nitric oxide (NO) is produced: 4 NH3 + 5 O2 4 NO + 6 H2O What mass (in grams) of NO can be made from the reaction of 30.00 g NH3 and 40.00 g O2? 1st, find moles of reactants: 30.00 g NH3 x 40.00 g O2 x 1 mol NH3 17.03 g NH3 1 mol O2 32.00 g O2 = 1.762 mol NH3 = 1.250 mol O2 2nd, calculate amount of product based on each reactant, separately: Yield of NO based on NH3: 1.762 mol NH3 x 4 mol NO 4 mol NH3 = 1.762 mol NO continued on next slide… Example Problem, cont. Yield of NO based on O2: 1.250 mol O2 x 4 mol NO 5 mol O2 = 1.000 mol NO Therefore, O2 is the limiting reactant! (excess of NH3 exists) A maximum of 1.000 moles of NO can be produced. 3rd, calculate yield of product based on limiting reactant: 30.01 g NO 1.000 mol NO x 1 mol NO = 30.01 g NO Theoretical and Percentage Yield • In actual experiments, the amount of a product that is actually obtained is always somewhat less than that predicted by the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equations. • This is due to competing reactions and/or mechanical losses in isolation of the product. actual yield -- amount of product obtained experimentally theoretical yield -- amount of product predicted by balanced equation percentage yield -- (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100% Example Problem In the previous experiment for the production of NO from 30.00 g NH3 and 40.00 g O2, the chemist obtained 25.50 g NO. What is the percentage yield of this reaction? 4 NH3 + 5 O2 4 NO + 6 H2O Theoretical yield = 30.01 g NO (based on limiting reactant) Actual yield = 25.50 g (given in problem) % yield = (25.50 g NO/30.01 g NO) x 100% = 85.0% (Note: the % yield can never be more than 100%!) Sample Problem The simplest borane known as “diborane-6,” B2H6, can be prepared from boron trichloride and lithium hydride according to the following balanced equation. 2 BCl3 + 6 LiH B2H6 + 6 LiCl In one experiment, 20.0 g of BCl3 was allowed to react with 5.00 g of LiH. After isolation and purification of the reaction product, 2.05 g of pure B2H6 was actually obtained. Calculate the percentage yield of this reaction. Formula masses (g/mol): BCl3 = 117.2 LiH = 7.95 B2H6 = 27.7 LiCl = 42.4 Sample Problem The simplest borane known as “diborane-6,” B2H6, can be prepared from boron trichloride and lithium hydride according to the following balanced equation. 2 BCl3 + 6 LiH B2H6 + 6 LiCl In one experiment, 20.0 g of BCl3 was allowed to react with 5.00 g of LiH.

How would you prepare 300 mL of a 0.100 M NaCl “standard” solution? Vc x (5.00 M) = (300 mL) x (0.100 M) Vc = (300 mL) x (0.100 M)/(5.00 M) = 6.00 mL Measure out 6.00 mL of the 5.00 M “stock” solution, then add H2O to a total volume of 300 mL.

Formation of a Solution No Dissociation; I2 in H2O Formation of a solution of iodine molecules in ethyl alcohol. Ethyl alcohol is the solvent and iodine the solute. Dissociation; NaCl in H2O Na+ and Cl- ions are stabilized when they are surrounded by H2O molecules. Water is probably the most common solvent. When a substance is dissolved into water it is said to be aqueous. (from the Latin, aqua, water). Electrolytes Dissociation Reactions of Salts (in aqueous solution) Electrolytes are solutes that produce ions in solution via dissociation (their solutions can conduct electricity), e.g. – – NaCl(s) --> Na+(aq) + Cl–(aq) (NH4)2SO4(s) --> 2 NH4+(aq) + SO42–(aq) These are “strong” electrolytes -100% ionized (e.g. “soluble” salts, strong acids) Some substances are “weak” electrolytes -- partially ionized (< 100%) (e.g. weak acids) or, “non-electrolytes” -not ionized at all (e.g. sugar, iodine) Solubility Rules for Ionic Compounds in Water I • Soluble Compounds Compounds Containing the Following Ions are Generally Soluble Exceptions (when combined with ions on the left the compound is insoluble) Li+, Na+, K+, NH4+ none NO3–, C2H3O2– none Cl–, Br–, I– Ag+, Hg22+, Pb2+ SO42– Ag+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Pb2+ Solubility Rules for Ionic Compounds in Water II • Insoluble Compounds Compounds Containing the Following Ions are Generally Insoluble OH– S2– CO32–, PO43– Exceptions (when combined with ions on the left the compound is soluble or slightly soluble) Li+, Na+, K+, NH4+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+ Li+, Na+, K+, NH4+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+ Li+, Na+, K+, NH4+ A knowledge of these rules will allow you to predict a large number of precipitation reactions Sample Questions Write the equations for the dissociation of the following ionic compounds. a) KBr b) Na2SO4 c) ZnCl2 Sample Questions Write the equations for the dissociation of the following ionic compounds. a) KBr KBr(s) --> K+(aq) + Br–(aq) b) Na2SO4 Na2SO4(s) --> 2 Na+(aq) + SO42–(aq) c) ZnCl2 ZnCl2(s) --> Zn2+(aq) + 2 Cl–(aq) Precipitation Reactions When two dissociated ionic substances combine, an insoluble precipitate may form. e.g. the reaction between lead(II) nitrate and potassium iodide, below, forms insoluble lead(II) iodide. + Ionic Reactions in Aqueous Solution • Equations for Ionic Reactions Metathesis Reaction (also called “double displacement”) Ions from two different reactants simply trade partners, e.g.: Na2CO3(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq) --> BaCO3(s) + 2 NaNO3(aq) This was written as a molecular equation in which all reactants and products are shown as complete, neutral chemical formulas. It could also have been written as a complete ionic equation in which all soluble ionic compounds are split up into their ions, e.g.; 2 Na+(aq) + CO32–(aq) + Ba2+(aq) + 2 NO3–(aq) --> BaCO3(s) + 2 Na+(aq) + 2 NO3–(aq) Equations for Ionic Rxns, cont. 2 Na+(aq) + CO32–(aq) + Ba2+(aq) + 2 NO3–(aq) --> BaCO3(s) + 2 Na+(aq) + 2 NO3–(aq) Here, the Na+ and NO3– ions are called “spectator ions” because they appear unchanged on both sides of the equation. The spectator ions do not participate in the chemically important part of the reaction -- the precipitation of BaCO3. The essential chemical process can be written without the spectator ions in the net ionic equation, e.g.: Ba2+(aq) + CO32–(aq) --> BaCO3(s) The net ionic equation shows that, in general, a precipitate of BaCO3 will form whenever the ions Ba2+ and CO32– are combined in aqueous solution, regardless of their sources. Both atoms and charge must balance! Strategy 1. 2. 3. 4. Dissociate the ionic compounds into their ions. Look at the reaction and see what the combinations of ions could be. Consult your memory or solubility charts to determine the solubility of the product. Balance the equation(s). Example Problem Will a precipitate form when aqueous solutions of CaCl2 and K3PO4 are mixed? Write balanced molecular, ionic, and net ionic equations for the reaction. Step 1: Write the possible ions: Ca2+, Cl–, K+, PO43– Step 2: Look at the combinations; KCl, Ca3(PO4)2 Step 3: You know KCl is soluble, Ca3(PO4)2 is not, so a precipitate will form. Step 4: Balance the equation: 3 CaCl2 + 2 K3PO4 --> Ca3(PO4)2 + 6 KCl Example Problem, cont. Molecular equation is: 3 CaCl2(aq) + 2 K3PO4(aq) --> Ca3(PO4)2(s) + 6 KCl(aq) The ionic equation: 3 Ca2+(aq) + 6 Cl–(aq) + 6 K+(aq) + 2 PO43–(aq) --> Ca3(PO4)2(s) + 6 K+(aq) + 6 Cl–(aq) Ions that do not participate in the reaction are called spectator ions. Net ionic equation is: 3 Ca2+(aq) + 2 PO43–(aq) --> Ca3(PO4)2(s) Summary of 3 Types of Balanced Chemical Equations • Molecular Equation – Shows all compounds with complete, neutral molecular formulas – Useful in planning experiments and stoichiometry calculations • Ionic Equation (complete) – All strong electrolytes are shown in their dissociated, ionic forms – Insoluble substances and weak electrolytes are shown in their molecular form – “spectator ions” are included – Useful for showing all details of what is happening in the reaction Summary of 3 Types of Balanced Chemical Equations, cont. • Net Ionic Equation – “spectator ions” are omitted – Only the essential chemical process is shown, i.e. formation of a: • Solid precipitate • Gaseous product, or • Weak electrolyte (e.g. water) – Useful for generalizing the reaction -- same important product can often be formed from different sets of reactants • When will a precipitate form? – KNOW THE SOLUBILITY RULES -- TABLE 4.1 Sample Questions Write balanced molecular equations for the following reactions. a) AgNO3 + NaCl --> b) BaCl2 + Na2SO4 --> c) Pb(NO3)2 + NaC2H3O2 --> d) NaOH + nickel(II) nitrate --> e) AgNO3 + Na2S --> Sample Questions Write balanced molecular equations for the following reactions. a) AgNO3 + NaCl --> AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) --> AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) b) BaCl2 + Na2SO4 --> BaCl2(aq) + Na2SO4(aq) --> BaSO4(s) + 2 NaCl(aq) c) Pb(NO3)2 + NaC2H3O2 --> Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2 NaC2H3O2(aq) --> Pb(C2H3O2)2(aq) + 2 NaNO3(aq) d) NaOH + nickel(II) nitrate --> 2 NaOH(aq) + Ni(NO3)2(aq) --> Ni(OH)2(s) + 2 NaNO3(aq) e) AgNO3 + Na2S --> 2 AgNO3(aq) + Na2S(aq) --> 2 NaNO3(aq) + Ag2S(s) Arrhenius Acid-base Concept Acid = H+ supplier e.g. HNO3, HCl, H2SO4, etc In water, HNO3 forms H+(aq) + NO3–(aq) Base = OH– supplier e.g. NaOH, Mg(OH)2, etc. In water, NaOH forms Na+(aq) + OH–(aq) • Acid-Base Neutralization Reactions Acid + e.g. HNO3(aq) + H2SO4(aq) + Base --> Salt + Water NaOH(aq) --> NaNO3(aq) + H2O(l) 2 KOH(aq) --> K2SO4(aq) + 2 H2O(l) Sample Problem • Write a balanced chemical equation for the complete neutralization reaction of barium hydroxide with sulfuric acid.

OILRIG • • • • • • O I L R I G Oxidation Is Loss Reduction Is Gain Oxidation Numbers (Oxidation States) Oxidation number a “charge” that is assigned to an atom to aid in balancing redox reactions The oxidation state is the atomic number (no. of positive charges) minus the number of electrons that it is said to have. Oxidation: the oxidation state increases. Reduction: the oxidation state decreases. Rules for assigning oxidation numbers -- see page 164 Learn the rules by working examples! Assigning Oxidation States 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Oxidation state of a free element is zero. Oxidation state of a simple monoatomic ion is equal to the charge on the ion. Sum of all the oxidation numbers must equal the charge on the particle. In its compounds, H and Group 1A metals have an oxidation number of +1. Group 2A metals have an oxidation number of +2. In its compounds, fluorine has an oxidation state of -1. In its compounds, oxygen has an oxidation state of -2. If there is a conflict between two rules, apply the rule with the lower number and ignore the conflicting rule. e.g. assign all oxidation numbers in: Ag2S ClO3– ClO4– Cr(NO3)3 H 2O H2O2 Assigning Oxidation States 1. 2.

The two processes will always occur together. • When has a redox reaction occurred? – If there is a change in the oxidation state of any element in the reaction, a redox reaction has happened. – Remember that if something is oxidized, something else must be reduced! (and vice-versa) More examples: 2 Ca(s) + O2(g) --> 2 CaO(s) 2 Al(s) + 3 Cl2(g) --> 2 AlCl3(s) Example Problems • When H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) is used as an antiseptic it oxidizes bacteria. What product might it form, O2 or H2O? • Answer: In the starting material O is in the -1 oxidation state. If it oxidizes bacteria, it must get reduced, which means its oxidation number goes down. O2 has an oxidation number of 0, while the O in H2O has an oxidation number of -2. Therefore H2O is the product of reduction of hydrogen peroxide.
