    Study Notes

    Chemical Equations and Balancing

    • Chemical reactions involve reactants changing into products, forming new substances
    • The Law of Conservation of Mass states that the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products
    • This means atoms are neither created nor destroyed; they merely change form
    • Chemical equations must be balanced to reflect the conservation of atoms
    • Balancing involves adjusting coefficients to ensure equal numbers of each atom type on both sides

    Balancing Chemical Equations

    • Identify the elements and count their atoms on both sides of the equation
    • Adjust coefficients (numbers in front of formulas) to balance the number of atoms of each element
    • Example CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O
    • Coefficients of 1 and 2 before O₂ and H₂O are used to ensure equal numbers of each atoms (Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen) on each side of the equation

    Tests for Anions in Aqueous Solutions

    • Chloride Ions:

      • Add silver nitrate (AgNO₃) solution, a white precipitate of silver chloride (AgCl) forms
      • Add ammonia solution, the precipitate dissolves

    • Sulfate Ions:

      • Add barium chloride (BaCl₂), a white precipitate of barium sulfate (BaSO₄) forms
      • Add hydrochloric acid, there is no observed chemical change

    • Sulfite Ions:

      • Add barium chloride (BaCl₂), a white precipitate of barium sulfite (BaSO₃) forms
      • Add hydrochloric acid, the precipitate disappears

    • Carbonate Ions:

      • Add hydrochloric acid (HCl): releases carbon dioxide gas (CO₂), forming effervescence (fizzing).
      • Test the gas with limewater: turns limewater cloudy (indicates CO₂).

    • Hydrogencarbonate Ions:

      • Add hydrochloric acid (HCl): releases carbon dioxide gas (CO₂), forming effervescence (fizzing)
      • Test the gas with limewater: turns limewater cloudy (indicates CO₂).

    • Nitrate Ions:

      • Add iron(II) sulfate solution to a nitrate solution, then add sulfuric acid. A brown ring forms at the junction of the two layers if nitrate is present.

    • Phosphate Ions:

      • Add ammonium molybdate reagent, a yellow precipitate forms if phosphate ions are present.
