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 CHâ‚„ + 2Oâ‚‚ → COâ‚‚ + 2Hâ‚‚O
  • Coefficients of 1 and 2 before Oâ‚‚ and Hâ‚‚O 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 (BaClâ‚‚), a white precipitate of barium sulfate (BaSOâ‚„) forms
    • Add hydrochloric acid, there is no observed chemical change

  • Sulfite Ions:

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

  • Carbonate Ions:

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

  • Hydrogencarbonate Ions:

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

  • 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.
