Study Notes
Displacement Reactions
- Displacement reaction occurs when a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its compound.
- Example reaction:
- Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
- Iron displaces copper from copper sulfate solution.
- Other displacement reaction examples:
- Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) → ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
- Pb(s) + CuCl2(aq) → PbCl2(aq) + Cu(s)
Reaction of Metallic Oxides with Acids
- Mixing copper oxide with dilute hydrochloric acid produces a blue-green solution of copper(II) chloride.
- General reaction:
- Metal oxide + Acid → Salt + Water
- Metallic oxides are classified as basic oxides due to their reaction with acids.
Reaction of Non-metallic Oxides with Bases
- Non-metallic oxides react with bases (e.g., carbon dioxide with calcium hydroxide) to produce water and salts.
- This reaction demonstrates the acidic nature of non-metallic oxides.
Properties of Acids and Bases
- All acids generate hydrogen gas when reacting with metals (e.g., metal + acid → salt + H2).
- Ions, particularly H+ ions, are responsible for the acidic properties of substances.
- Acids, when dissolved in water, produce ions indicative of their acidity.
Chemical Reactions Overview
- Chemical equations must represent the conservation of mass, and thus must be balanced.
- Types of reactions include:
- Combination reactions: Two or more substances form one compound.
- Decomposition reactions: One substance breaks down into two or more products.
- Exothermic reactions: Heat is released.
- Endothermic reactions: Heat is absorbed.
- Oxidation-reduction reactions involve the transfer of oxygen and hydrogen.
Conductivity of Solutions
- Acids conducted electricity due to the presence of ions, whereas glucose and alcohol solutions did not.
- A bulb connected in an electric circuit glows if acids are present in the solution, indicating ion flow.
Common Acids and Bases
- Strongly acidic substances have a low pH (e.g., hydrochloric acid).
- Neutral substances have a pH of approximately 7.
- Weakly acidic and alkaline substances have pH values that are closer to neutral.
Reactions Involving Acids and Metals
- Reaction between dilute hydrochloric acid and metals like iron produces hydrogen gas and salt.
- General reaction format:
- Metal + Acid → Salt + Hydrogen
Importance of Ionization
- Acids need water to produce H+ ions, which are essential for their acidic nature.
- Distilled water does not conduct electricity due to a lack of ions, while rainwater does contain impurities that lead to conductivity.
Practical Applications
- When testing solutions with universal indicators, pH values can be categorized to determine their nature.
- Solutions tested include alkaline, acidic, and neutral based on pH and ion concentrations.
Laboratory Safety
- Mixing concentrated acids or bases with water must be done cautiously, as it is exothermic and can lead to splashes.
