Study Notes

  • Solutions are mixtures of two or more pure substances that are homogeneous.
  • The solvent is the substance present in the greatest amount.
  • All other substances in a solution are solutes.
  • Aqueous solutions exist when water is the solvent.

Aqueous Solutions

  • Substances dissolve in water in different ways.
  • Ionic compounds dissociate into ions when dissolved in water.
  • Molecular compounds typically interact with water but do not dissociate.
  • Some molecular substances chemically react with water when dissolving.

Electrolytes & Nonelectrolytes

  • Electrolytes dissociate into ions when dissolved in water.
  • Nonelectrolytes may dissolve in water but do not dissociate into ions.
  • Strong electrolytes completely dissociate when dissolved.
  • Weak electrolytes only partially dissociate when dissolved.
  • Nonelectrolytes do not dissociate when dissolved.
  • Not all ionic compounds dissolve in water.
  • Solubility rules are used to determine which combination of ions will dissolve.

Precipitation Reactions

  • When two solutions containing soluble salts are mixed, an insoluble salt sometimes precipitates out.

Metathesis Reactions

  • Metathesis means "to transpose" from Greek.
  • In these reactions, ions in reactant compounds appear to exchange or transpose.
  • Follow these steps to completely balance metathesis equations:
  • Use chemical formulas of the reactants to determine which ions are present.
  • Write formulas for the products using the cation from one reactant and the anion from the other, using charges to write proper subscripts.
  • Check solubility rules to see if either product is insoluble and forms a precipitate.
  • Balance the equation.

Ways to Write Metathesis Reactions

  • Molecular Equation
  • Complete Ionic Equation
  • Net Ionic Equation
  • A molecular equation lists the reactants and products without indicating the ionic nature of the compounds.
  • A complete ionic equation is an equation where all strong electrolytes, including strong acids, strong bases, and soluble ionic salts, are dissociated into their ions.
  • Spectator ions includes K+ and 𝑁𝑂3−
  • The net ionic equation involves crossing out anything that does not change from the left side of the equation to the right.
  • Spectator ions are the ions that are crossed out in the equation.
  • The remaining ions are the reactants that form the product, an insoluble salt in a precipitation reaction.

Steps to Write Net Ionic Equations

  • Write a balanced molecular equation.
  • Dissociate all strong electrolytes.
  • Cross out anything that remains unchanged on both sides of the equation.
  • Write the net ionic equation with the remaining species.

Acids

  • S. A. Arrhenius defines acids as substances that increase the concentration of H+ when dissolved in water.
  • J. N. Brønsted and T. M. Lowry defined acids as proton donors

Bases

  • Arrhenius defines bases as substances that increase the concentration of 𝑂𝐻− when dissolved in water.
  • Brønsted and Lowry defined bases as proton acceptors.
  • Strong acids dissociate completely in water, while weak acids only partially dissociate.
  • Strong bases dissociate into metal cations and hydroxide anions in water, but weak bases only partially react to produce hydroxide anions.

Acid-Base Reactions

  • Acids donate a proton (𝐻+) to a base.
  • Reactions between an acid and a base are called neutralization reactions.
  • When the base is a metal hydroxide, water and a salt (ionic compound) are produced.

Net Ionic Equation

  • In neutralization reactions with strong bases, the net ionic equation is: H+(𝑎𝑞)+ 𝑂𝐻−(𝑎𝑞)→ 𝐻2𝑂(𝑙)

Gas-Forming Reactions

  • Some metathesis reactions may not yield the expected products.
  • The combination of a carbonate or bicarbonate reacting with an acid will result in a salt, carbon dioxide, and water.
  • Some gas-forming reactions generate gases in the hood with a bad oder.

Oxidation Reduction Reactions

  • Loss of electrons is oxidation
  • Gain of electrons is reduction.
  • Oxidation and reduction cannot occur independently.
  • Oxidation-reduction reactions are often called redox reactions.

Oxidation Numbers

  • Assigning oxidation numbers to each element in a neutral compound or charged entity determines if an oxidation-reduction reaction has occurred
  • The rules to assign oxidation numbers are:
  • Elements in their elemental form have an oxidation number of zero..
  • The oxidation number of a monatomic ion isthe same as its charge.
  • Nonmetals tend to have negative oxidation numbers, although some are positive in certain compounds or ions.
  • Oxygen typically has an oxidation number of -2 except in peroxide ions, where it has an oxidation number of -1.
  • Hydrogen is -1 when bonded to a metal and +1 when bonded to a nonmetal.
  • Fluorine always has an oxidation number of -1.
  • Other halogens usually have an oxidation number of -1 when negative but can have positive oxidation numbers, mainly in oxyanions.
  • The sum of the oxidation numbers in a neutral compound is zero.
  • The total of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion equals ion's charge..

Displacement Reactions

  • Displacement reactions occur when ions oxidize an element
  • Activity series:
  • Elements higher on the activity series are more reactive.
  • These elements are more likely to exist as ions.
  • Elements above hydrogen will react with acids to produce hydrogen gas.
  • The metal is oxidized to a cation.

Concentrations of Solutions

  • Concentration is the amount of solute dissolved in a specific amount of solvent or solution.
  • Term used to designate is concentration
  • Chemists often need to express the concentrations of solutions quantitatively.

Molarity

  • We can call this the amount dissolved concentration
  • Molarity, denoted as M, is one way to measure the concentration of a solution, where: Molarity= moles of solute/volume of solution in liters Steps to create a solution
  1. known mass of solute is weighed.
  2. The solute is added to a volumetric flask, and solvent is added up to the line.

Dilution

  • Solutions are diluted by:
  • using a pipet to deliver a volume of a solution to a new volumetric flask
  • adding solvent to the line on the volumetric flask.
  • The molarity of the new solution can be determined using the equation: 𝑀𝑐𝑉𝑐 =𝑀𝑑𝑉𝑑,
  • 𝑀𝑐 and 𝑀𝑑 arethe molarity of the concentrated and dilute solutions, and 𝑉𝑐 and 𝑉𝑑 are the volumes of the two solutions.

Titration

  • Titration: Analytical techinque to Calculate the concentration of a solute
  • Titration is an analytical technique to calculate the concentration of a solute in a solution.
  • A solution of known concentration, called standard solution, is used to determine the unknown concentration of another solution.
  • The point at which the reaction is complete is called the equivalence point.
