Study Notes
Solubility Rules
- Phosphates (PO43-), carbonates (CO32-) and chromates (CrO42-) are insoluble, except for those of alkali metals and ammonium salts.
Electrolytes
- Electrolyte: substance that dissolves in water to produce a solution that conducts electricity; contains ions.
- Nonelectrolyte: substance that dissolves in water to produce a solution that does not conduct electricity; does not contain ions.
Strong and Weak Electrolytes
- Dissociation: ionic compounds separate into constituent ions when dissolved in solution.
- Ionization: molecular compounds form/generate ions when dissolved in solution.
- Strong Electrolytes: Undergo complete dissociation/ionization.
- Weak Electrolytes: Partially ionized in solution.
Stoichiometry of Aqueous Reactions
- When making stoichiometric calculations for aqueous reactions, one must know:
- The nature of the reacting species and the product — net ionic equation.
- The amount of the chemical species present — concentration, e.g. Molarity.
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
- Oxidation-reduction reactions (redox reactions) involve the transfer of electrons between two species.
- Oxidation is the loss of electrons.
- Reduction is the gain of electrons.
- Oxidizing agent: gains electrons and gets reduced.
- Reducing agent: loses electrons and gets oxidized.
- Oxidation and reduction always occur together in the same reaction.
Half Reactions
- A half-reaction shows reduction or oxidation, but not both.
- To identify half-reactions, oxidation numbers of the atoms involved must be determined.
Balancing Half Reactions
- A half-reaction is balanced when both the atoms and the total charge are equal on both sides of the equation.
- Add electrons to the more positive side to balance the charge.
Balancing Half-Reactions in Acid Solution
- Available chemical species in acidic solution include H2O, H+, and e-.
- Balance the atom being reducedor oxidized
- Balance O atoms by adding H2O molecules
- Balance H atoms by adding H+ ions
- Balance the total charge by adding electrons to the more positive side.
Balancing Half-Reactions in Basic Solution
- Available chemical species in basic solution include H2O, OH-, and e-.
- Balance the atom being reduced or oxidized.
- Balance O atoms by adding H2O molecules.
- Balance H atoms by adding H+ ions.
- Balance the total charge by adding electrons to the more positive side.
- Convert all H+ to H2O by adding OH- ions to both sides and canceling duplicate molecules or ions.
Balancing Redox Reactions
- Split the equation into half-equations, one for oxidation and one reduction.
- Balance each half-equation for atoms and charge.
- Combine the half-equations to get the overall equation.
- Multiply the different half-equations by the appropriate factors to ensure electron loss and gain are balanced.
- Simplify the final equation by canceling species that occur on both sides and reducing coefficients.
- Make sure that electrons do not appear in the final equation.
