• Write the net ionic equation for each of the
following:
2 K+(aq) + SO42−(aq) + 2 Ag+(aq) + 2 NO3
−(aq)
→ 2 K+(aq) + 2 NO3−(aq) + Ag2SO4(s)
2 Ag+(aq) + SO42−(aq) → Ag2SO4(s)
2 Na+(aq) + CO32−(aq) + 2 H+(aq) + 2 Cl−(aq)

Writing equations on the AP Exam
• Prompts that ask for written equations have historically been
found in the free response section of the AP test.
• Often, you will have 3 equations, each followed by a question
about the reaction. The equations are of mixed types.
• You will often be asked to write equations in net ionic form: all
spectator ions must be left out and all ions must be written in
ionic form.
• Scoring for equations is often: 1 pt for reactants, 2 points for
products, and 1 pt for each question.
Our Goals
• What types of reaction will I be asked to write equations for?
• How do I write net ionic equations for
those reactions?
• What kind of questions might I be asked
about these reactions?

Reaction TypesThere are many ways of classifying reactions. One approach commonly used in introductory chemistry recognizes these 5 reaction types:
• Addition (aka Synthesis)
• Decomposition
• Single Displacement
• Double Displacement
• Combustion
Reaction TypesAnother approach recognizes these 3 reaction types which can occur in solutions:
• Precipitation Reactions
–Includes double displacement reactions
• Acid-Base Neutralization Reactions
–Includes gas formation reactions
• Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
–Includes single displacement, combustion, & some addition and decomposition reactions.

We will focus on these types of
reactions in aqueous solutions:
1) Precipitation Reactions
2) Acid—Base Reactions
3) Oxidation—Reduction Reactions

write equations for?

Dissociation Decisions(Which substances exist as dissociated ions?)
In order to write NIE’s, we need to identify
which substances exist as dissociated ions,
and which exist as molecules.
Dissociation Decisions(Which substances exist as dissociated ions?)
• All molecular substances and non-soluble
compounds must be written ‘together’ (not
ionized/dissociated).
Example:
Page 8
10/2/2015

Dissociation Decisions(Which substances exist as dissociated ions?)
• Strong electrolytes (strong acids, strong
bases, and soluble ionic compounds) will
be dissociated unless the state is solid.
Example:
Sidenote: you will sometimes see concentrated sulfuric acid written as a
molecular (undissociated) substance, only because when it is 18M, it really is
97% H2SO4 and 3% water in the jug.
Dissociation Decisions(Which substances exist as dissociated ions?)
• All weak electrolytes should be written as
un-dissociated, molecular formulas.

Know your solubility rules*:
– Ba(OH)2 is soluble
– Ca(OH)2 and Sr(OH) 2 are moderately soluble and
can be written together or as ions.
– Mg(OH)2 is insoluble.
See a pattern there?
– CaSO4 and SrSO4 are moderately soluble and can be
written together or as ions.
Let’s Practice writing NIE’s for these reaction types, and answering questions about each.

CuSO4 (aq) + 2 NaOH (aq)�Cu(OH)2 (s) + Na2SO4 (aq)
When 1.25 L of 0.0500 M CuSO4 and 2.00 L of 0.0250 M
NaOH are mixed, calculate the molarity of all ions that remain
in the resulting solution after the reaction.
[Na+] = ????

[(SO4)2- ] = ????
The NIE can help us here; the number of moles of spectator ions will be
in the same after the reaction as before; just consider the new volumes.
CuSO4 (aq) + 2 NaOH (aq)�Cu(OH)2 (s) + Na2SO4 (aq)
When 1.25 L of 0.0500 M CuSO4 and 2.00 L of 0.0250 M
NaOH are mixed, calculate the molarity of all ions that remain
in the resulting solution after the reaction.
[Cu2+ (aq) ] =
Questions about precipitation reactions …will include solution stoichiometry and and understanding of ion concentration
[(OH)-(aq) ] = 0 M
NaOH was the limiting reagent; so no (OH)- ions remain.
CuSO4 was in excess; so we need to account for the number of
moles of Cu2+ that did NOT react, which are still in solution.

2) Acid—Base Reactions
We will also include gas formation reactions in this
category. These problems are similar to the precipitation
reactions in some ways; instead of forming a solid
precipitate, we form a molecular substance such as
water or a gas.
Acid–Base Reactions
• Acid–base Reaction:
– An acid–base reaction is also called a neutralization reaction.
– An acid reacts with a base and the two neutralize each other, producing water (or in some cases a weak electrolyte).
Page 15

Some Common Acids and Bases
Many of these weaker acids
are “organic” acids that contain a
“carboxyl” group.
The carboxyl group does not easily give up its
hydrogen.
Weak acids such as lactic
acid usually ionize less than
5% of the time.
Strong vs. Weak Acids
Page 16

Other organic acids and their sources include:
o Citric acid – citrus fruit
o Malic acid – apples
o Butyric acid – rancid butter
o Amino acids – protein
o Nucleic acids – DNA and RNA
o Ascorbic acid – Vitamin C
This is an enormous group of compounds;
these are only a few examples.
Because of the carboxyl group, organic acids are
sometimes called “carboxylic acids”.

Acid–Base Reactions
• The net ionic equation for any strong acid–
strong base reaction is
H+(aq) + OH−(aq) → H2O(l)
– as long as the salt that forms is soluble in water.
1. HCl(aq) + Ba(OH)2(aq) →
2. H2SO3(aq) + LiOH(aq) →
2 HCl(aq) + Ba(OH)2(aq) → 2 H2O(l) + BaCl2(aq)
H2SO3(aq) + 2 LiOH(aq) → 2 H2O(l) + Li2SO3(aq)
2 H+(aq) + 2(OH)-
(aq) → 2 H2O (l)
H2SO3 (aq) + 2(OH)-(aq) → 2 H2O (l) + (SO3)

Finding the Concentration of Acid
from an Acid-Base TitrationPROBLEM:
You perform an acid-base titration to standardize an HCl solution
by placing 50.00mL of HCl in a flask with a few drops of indicator
solution. You put 0.1524M NaOH into the buret, and the initial
reading is 0.55mL. At the end point, the buret reading is
23.85mL. What is the concentration of the HCl solution?
If you were standardizing a solution of H2SO4,
would the calculation be done the same?

needed to reach the endpoint. What is the concentration of the
phosphoric acid solution?

Gas-Evolution Reactions
• Gas-evolution reactions
– In a gas-evolution reaction, a gas forms, resulting in bubbling.
• In both acid–base and gas-evolution
reactions, as in precipitation reactions,
the reactions occur when the anion from
one reactant combines with the cation of
the other.
– Many gas-evolution reactions are also acid–base reactions.
Gas-Evolving Reactions
• Some reactions form a gas directly from the
ion exchange.
K2S(aq) + H2SO4(aq) → K2SO4(aq) + H2S(g)
• Other reactions form a gas by the
decomposition of one of the ion exchange
products into a gas and water.
NaHCO3(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2CO3(aq)
H2CO3(aq) → H2O(l) + CO2(g)
