Chapter 4Chemical Quantities and Aqueous ReactionsPatterns of ReactivityFive basic types of reactions.1 . Combination two substances combine to make one new one. Generic: A + B CEx) 2 Mg(s) + O2(g) 2 MgO(s)2. Decomposition one substance decomposes to several new ones. Generic: A B + CEx) 2 NaN3(s) 2 Na(s) + 3 N2(g)Patterns of Reactivity3. Single Replacement one element replaces the other. Generic: A + BC AC + BEx) 2 AgNO3(aq) + Cu(s) Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2 Ag(s)4. Double Replacement (aka Metathesis) trading partners. Generic: AB + CD AD + CDEx) Hg(NO3)2(aq) + 2 NaI(aq) HgI2(s) + 2 NaNO3(aq)5. Combustion a rapid reaction with O2(g) producing a flame.Ex) CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l)Interpreting a ReactionA simple reaction like: N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g), can be interpreted on many levels.

Molecular Level: one molecule of N2 plus three molecules of H2 react to form two molecules of NH3Interpreting a ReactionFor this reaction, we can establish that:1 molecule N2 = 3 molecules H21 molecule N2 = 2 molecules NH33 molecules H2 = 2 molecules NH3

LEP #1Interpreting a ReactionThe molecular level is really not practical as we cannot do reaction on this scale.Rather, we can do them on a mole scale.Thus: one mole of N2 plus three moles of H2 react to produce two moles of NH3.This means our relations can be shortened to moles.

LEP #1Limiting ReactantIf given amounts of both reactants, we may run out of one of them first. This reactant limits how much can be made.Analogy: Putting together a bicycle parts on hand are 200 frames and 350 wheels. How many bicycles can you make?Ex) 2 H2 + O2 2 H2OSuppose a vessel contained 10 molecules of H2 and 7 molecules of O2. How many water molecules are possible?Limiting ReactantThis also applies to mole amounts as well.LEP #2

StoichiometryPronounced: stoy-key-OM-uh-tree.Relating quantities in chemical reactions in particular masses.Cannot use mole-to-mole ratios to convert mass of one substance to mass of another by one single step.A mass-to-mass conversion must be done in three steps.Stoichiometry

StoichiometryCan be used to find a mass of another reactant or a product.Can be part of a limiting reactant where amounts of both reactants are given.Can also be asked to find a percent yield.

Where the Theoretical Mass is the maximum amount possible based on your limiting reactant.LEP #3 and #4

SolutionA solution is a homogeneous mixture.Consists of a solute and the solvent.Ex) NaCl added to waterChapter 12 will show us a wide variety of solutions.Chapter 4 only water is the solvent.Solution ConcentrationThere are many methods for expressing a solutions concentration and we will see more methods in Chapter 12.Chemists typically use molarity (M).Molarity = MolarityCalculations can be from a mass and volume LEP #5.Or from a molarity and volume LEP #6.Or involve a dilution LEP #7.

Solution StoichiometryReactions that take place in solution can be analyzed using molarity and volume.Molarity can be used a conversion factor.Can be calculation to find amount of other reactant (volume or mass).Can be limiting reactant problem.LEP #8, #9Dissolving an Ionic CompoundWhen sodium chloride is added to water, the ions are pulled apart.By itself, pure water is a poor conductor of electricity.When an ionic compound dissolves, it produces ions.These ions can carry a charge through the solution and are referred to as electrolytes.

Electrolytes vs. Non-electrolytes

ElectrolytesStrong Electrolyte completely dissociates to produce 100% ions in solution.Ionic compounds must be soluble in water

Strong Acids (6) =

Strong Bases =ElectrolytesWeak Electrolytes partially ionize to produce a few ions. Solution is weakly conducting.Weak acids formula starts with H, but not on list of S.A.Ex) HC2H3O2 , HF, HCHO2, etc.Weak bases ammonia or amines.Ex) NH3, CH3NH2, CH3CH2NH2Non-electrolytesMolecular compounds that dissolve in water, but produce no ions.Sugar molecules, Cn(H2O)nEx) C6H12O6, C5H10O5C1 to C4 Alcohols, Aldehydes, KetonesEx) CH3OH, CH3 C CH3 || OLEP #10Solubility RulesProvides general solubility only gives black or white details.No detail on extent of solubility.Ex) 34 g / 100mL for KCl Some soluble compounds have low limit.Ex) 0.17 g / 100mL for Ca(OH)2Some insoluble compounds may be slightly soluble.Ex) 0.45 g / 100mL for PbCl2Insoluble compound = (s).Soluble compound = (aq).LEP #11, #12Activity SeriesRanks the metals from most reactive to least reactive.A metal HIGHER on the activity series will replace (react) any metal ion beneath it.

Will Mg(s) react with Cu+2(aq)?

Will Sn(s) react with Fe+2(aq)?Writing a ReactionA molecular equation shows all compounds written as if they were molecules even substances that are known to exist as ions.An ionic equation shows all aqueous compounds as ions in solution. All aqueous compounds are broken apart.Writing a ReactionAgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq)

A Net Ionic equation removes all of the spectator ions.Spectator ions are ones that do not change from reactants to products.These are the aqueous ions.

Single ReplacementWriting a single replacement reaction from scratch.A + BC A and B trade places as long as predicted by Activity Series.Watch out for charges!Special treatment for H+ (acid) will generate H2(g)!LEP #13Double ReplacementWriting a double replacement reaction involving a precipitation from scratch.AB + CD Trade partners A goes with D and C goes with B.Once again, charges MUST be observed when re-combining and formulas are written with cation first.Reaction only happens if one of the two products is Insoluble (s).LEP #14 a, bDouble ReplacementThese reactions can also produce a gas like CO2 or H2S.An acid plus a carbonate or bicarbonateAn acid plus any sulfideAn acid and a base react to form water also called neutralization.Acid plus a base form water plus a salt.LEP #14 c, d, e

Oxidation ReductionReferred to as redox for short.This process involves the loss and gain of electrons.Corrosion of metalsBatteriesOxidation = the loss of electrons.Reduction = the gain of electrons.OIL RIG =Oxidation NumbersAn accounting method used to assign each element in a compound and oxidation state (number).Rules:1. The oxidation state of any element in its standard state is zero. Ex) Na(s), Cl2(g), P4(s), etc.2. The oxidation state of a monoatomic ion is equal to its charge. Ex) Cu+2(aq) = +2, Cl-1(aq) = -13. The sum of all oxidation states in a compound should equal zero.Oxidation Numbers4. The sum of all oxidation numbers in an ion will equal the charge on the ion.5. Group 1A metals = +1, 2A metal = +2, Al = +3.6. Halogens: F = -1; Cl, Br, and I are usually -1 unless when O is present. Ex) NaClO7. O = -2, unless in a peroxide like H2O2. S = -2 unless when O is present.8. H = +1.LEP #15Redox ReactionsOnce all elements in a reaction have been assigned oxidation numbers, inspect to see if two elements have changed.Cannot have oxidation without reduction!Ex) 2 Cu(s) + S(g) Cu2S(s)

Ex) Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)

LEP #16Redox ReactionsJust to make things a little more confusing

The element or compound that was reduced = oxidizing agent.

The element or compound oxidized = reducing agent.

Always from the perspective of the REACTANTS.Acid-Base TitrationThese involve the neutralization reaction.Endpoint = when all of the unknown solution has reacted.Indicator = substance that changes color when the endpoint has been achieved.Acid-base TitrationDelivery of the known solution is achieved using a buret. Measures to nearest 0.05mL.

Acid-base TitrationTypically, the known solution is the base like NaOH.LEP #17

Redox TitrationAssay analysis of an ore and many other applications.Common oxidizing agent is KMnO4LEP #18
