4 Formulas and Oxidation Numbers Unit 6 Background Information Oxidation numbers and the charges of ions give the information needed to write the formulas of many chemical compounds. Only a few guidelines are needed: 1. In a neutral compound, the charges on ions, or the oxidation numbers, balance out to zero. 2. One positive charge balances one negative charge. 3. Atoms with positive charges or positive oxidation numbers are written first. 4. Subscripts show the relative numbers of atoms or ions in a compound. 5. To show more than one of a polyatomic ion, the symbol is enclosed in parentheses and the subscript follows, for example Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3.

9 Tests for Iron (II) and Iron (III) Unit 4 In this experiment, the complex hexacyanoferrate (II) ion (ferrocyanide), Fe(CN) 4 6-, and the hexacyanoferrate(iii) ion (ferricyanide), Fe(CN) 3 6-, will be used in identification tests for Fe 2-, and Fe 3- ions. The charges on the two complex ions clearly indicate the difference in the oxidation state of the iron present in each. The (CN) group in each complex ion has a charge of -1. Thus, iron(ii) is present in the ferrocyanide ion, [Fe 2+ (CN - ) 6 ] 4-. Iron (III) is present in the ferricyanide ion group, [Fe 3+ (CN - ) 6 ] 3-. A deep blue precipitate results when either complex ion combines with iron in a different oxidation state from that present in the complex. The deep blue color of the precipitate is caused by the presence of iron in both oxidation states. The color provides a means of identifying either iron ion. If the deep blue precipitate is formed on addition of the [Fe 2+ (CN - ) 6 ] 4- complex, the iron ion responsible must be the iron(iii) ion. Similarly, a deep blue precipitate formed with the [Fe 3+ (CN - ) 6 ] 3- complex indicates the presence of the iron(ii) ion. Both of the deep blue precipitates are known to have the same composition. The potassium salt of the complex ion has the formula KFe(CN) 6 H 2 O. The thiocyanate ion, SCN -, provides a test for confirming the presence of Fe 3+ ion. The soluble FeSCN 2- complex imparts a blood red color to the solution. OBJECTIVES Observe tests of known solutions containing iron (II) or iron (III) ions. Compare results for the two ions and infer conclusions. Design a procedure for identifying the two ions in one solution. MATERIALS FeCl3, 0.1 M lab apron Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2, 0.2 M microplate gloves safety goggles K3Fe(CN)6, 0.1 M sheet of paper, white K4Fe(CN)6, 0.1 M thin-stemmed pipets (5) KSCN, 0.2 M Do not touch any chemicals. If you get a chemical on your skin or clothing, wash the chemical off at the sink while calling to your teacher. Make sure you carefully read the labels and follow the precautions on all containers of chemicals that you use. If there are no precautions stated on the label, ask your teacher what precautions to follow. Do not taste any chemicals or items used in the laboratory. Never return leftover chemicals to their original containers; take only small amounts to avoid wasting supplies. Acids and bases are corrosive. If an acid or base spills onto your skin or clothing, wash the area immediately with running water. Call your teacher in the event of an acid spill. Acid or base spills should be cleaned up promptly

What happened to the iron(ii) ion when the precipitate turned blue?

12 Three-Dimensional Models of Molecules Unit 6 Background Information A single covalent bond is formed when two atoms share a pair of electrons. Each atom provides one of the electrons of the pair. If the two atoms are alike, the bond is said to be non-polar covalent. If the atoms are unlike, one exerts a greater attractive force on the electrons, and the bond is polar covalent. More than one pair of electrons can be shared. This results in a double or triple bond. A group of atoms held together by covalent bonds is called a molecule. Molecules can be either polar or non-polar. If bonds are non-polar, the molecule is non-polar. If bonds are polar, molecules can still be non-polar if the charge distribution through-out the molecule is symmetrical. A molecule s symmetry depends on its shape, that is the positions in space of the atoms making up the molecule. Some possible shapes are linear, angular (bent), pyramidal, and tetrahedral. Although we represent molecules on paper as being two-dimensional for convenience, they are actually three-dimensional. By building molecular models, chemists come to understand the bonding, shapes, and polarity of even the most complex molecules. Purpose: Build three-dimensional models of some simple covalent molecules. Predict their shapes and polarities from knowledge of bonds and molecule polarity rules. Materials: white hydrogen black carbon red oxygen, sulfur blue - nitrogen green chlorine, fluorine orange bromine purple iodine Procedure: 1] Begin by creating a Lewis diagram for each of the formulas on the data table. 2] Identify the AXE, for each Lewis diagram to help you solve for the shape and polarity. Your VSEPR theory chart can be used. 3] Build the models using your Lewis diagrams as a reference. Use the colors above to represent the elements needed. Short connectors are to be used for single bonds and long connectors are for multiple bonds only

15 Double Replacement Reactions Unit 7 Background Information: Some of the most impressive chemical reactions are double-replacement reactions, also called ion-exchange reactions. In a double-replacement reaction, a clear solution of an ionic compound is added to a clear solution of another ionic compound. The positive ions of one compound react with the negative ions of the other compound to form a precipitate, a gas, or water. When a precipitate forms, the result can be very dramatic. The precipitate is an insoluble solid substance that may produce a sudden bright color in the remaining clear solution. Purpose: In this investigation you will perform double-replacement reactions, and observe and interpret the results Materials: potassium iodide sodium chloride sodium iodide KI NaCl NaI Copper (II)sulfate Cu (SO 4 ) lead nitrate Pb (NO 3 ) 2 silver nitrate Ag (NO 3 ) Copper (II) nitrate Cu (NO 3 ) 2 Ammonium hydroxide NH 4 (OH) Procedure: 1] On the microplate, place a few drops from the first three sample bottles listed in the materials list. See the data table 2] On the table, record the color of each chemical used in the appropriate reactant box. Use clear if it is colorless. 3] Now place a few drops of the next three samples, with its appropriate reactant. See the data table 4] Now record the color of each chemical used in the appropriate reactant box. Again use clear if it is colorless. 5] After mixing, record any color changes on the product row of the table 6] After recording all results, use the table on page 11 to figure out which reactant will form the precipitate

16 Observations: Reactants: KI NaCl Pb (NO3)2 NaI Cu (SO4) Cu (SO4) Color: Reactants: Pb (NO3)2 Ag (NO3) Ag (NO3) Cu (NO3)2 NH 4 (OH) Cu (NO3)2 Color: Product Color: ppt: Questions: 1. What did you observe when you mixed the two solutions together? [general] 2. A double replacement reaction is also called an ion-exchange reaction. Describe the exchange of ions that occurred in this lab investigation

17 Single Replacement Reactions Unit 6 Background Information: In nature, elements can occur either free, meaning uncombined with other elements, or chemically combined in a compound. The tendency of a particular element to combine with other substances is a measure of the activity of that element. The more active an element is, the more likely it is to combine. In a single-replacement reaction, an uncombined element replaces a less active element that is combined in a chemical compound. The less active element is then freed from the compound. For example, in the reaction Zinc + Copper sulfate Zinc sulfate + Copper Zinc replaces the less active copper, and combines with sulfate, which frees the copper from the compound. Purpose: In this investigation you will observe how various metals undergo single-replacement reactions when placed in acid. if the metat is more active than hydrogen, it will replace it and release the hydrogen gas. Materials: Magnesium - Copper - Aluminum - Zinc - Iron - Nickel - Procedure: 1] Label each test tube with the name of one of the metals listed in the materials 2] With your safety goggles on, carefully pour 5 ml of hydrochloric acid into each test tube. 3] Observe the color, appearance and textures of the metal samples in the material list and record them in the data table. 4] One at a time, place the appropriate metal in each test tube. Observe what happens to the metal in each test tube. Record your observations in the data table be sure to record how fast the reaction was, and to feel each test tube as the reaction proceeds. If a reaction does not occur, you may record no reaction to acid in the data table 5] Dispose of all materials as directed by your instructor

18 Observations: 1. Magnesium - 2. Aluminum - 3. Iron - 4. Copper - 5. Zinc - 6. Nickel - Conclusions: 1] Were these reactions endothermic or exothermic? Explain. 2] Which of the metals are more active than hydrogen? 3] Which of the metals are less active than hydrogen? 4] What could you do to prove that hydrogen gas was produced as a result of these reactions? 5] The rate at which hydrogen gas is produced as a result of these single-replacement reactions is an idicator of the relative activity of the metals. List the metals in order of their activity from most active to least active

19 Toward More Efficient Combustion Unit 7 Purpose: In this investigation you will prepare an alkyne and observe complete and incomplete combustion Materials: 4 or 5 pieces of calcium carbide, CaC mL beaker water, H 2 O 3 test tubes forceps wood splints CAUTION: The solution formed when calcium carbide reacts with water is Ca(OH) 2 a strong base. Ca(OH) 2 is corrosive; avoid skin contact. Rinse spills with plenty of water. Procedure: 1] Fill a 250-mL beaker full with tap water. Fill the test tube completely full of water. Place your thumb over the mouth of the test tube and invert it into the filled beaker. Remove your hand from the beaker. 2] Using forceps, place a piece of calcium carbide, CaC 2 into the beaker. As it reacts with the water to produce a gas, place the mouth of the inverted test tube over the CaC 2 and collect the gas by water displacement. If the test tube does not fill completely with gas, use a second piece of CaC 2. 3] When the test tube is filled with gas, remove it from the beaker. Keeping the mouth of the tube down, place a burning splint in the mouth of the tube. Record your observations. Label the test tube and put aside for future reference and comparison with other test tubes. 4] Repeat the above procedure using test tubes that are full and 1/10 full of water. Record your observations. 5] Before cleaning the test tubes with detergent, record your observations of the amount of carbon on each. Do not place burned splints in the sink. Extinguish them under a stream of water and then discard them properly. Dispose of the liquid into a container provided by your instructor

( Calcium oxide reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide ). 3] Describe the amount of soot on each test tube after the ethyne gas was burned. Test Tubes Observations full 100% ethyne full 50% ethyne 1 / 10 full 10% ethyne 4] Write and balance the chemical equation for the complete combustion of ethyne gas. Conclusions: 1] Does the amount of oxygen gas (air) in relation to the amount of fuel (ethyne gas) affect the rate of combustion? Which test tube mixture gave you the fastest rate of combustion? 2] Which gas-air mixture produced the greatest amount of air pollution? 3] Which gas-air mixture produced the greatest amount of energy? 4] Another name for ethyne is acetylene.

23 Mole and Mass Relationships Unit 7 Pre-Lab Discussion: In a balanced equation, all reactants and products must be represented by symbols or formulas. The total number of atoms of each element must be the same on each side of the equation to satisfy the law of conservation of mass. A calculation of the formula mass of a reactant or product enables a researcher to convert from grams of a particular substance taking part in a reaction to moles of that substance. The mole relationship given by the coefficients of the balanced equation then allows the researcher to calculate how many moles of every other substance will take part in the reaction. In this experiment, you will investigate the quantitative relationships in the reaction: ()+ s HCl aq NaHCO 3 ( ) NaCl( aq)+ CO 2 ( g)+ H 2 O( g) A known mass of sodium bicarbonate will be reacting with excess hydrochloric acid. Knowing the mass of NaHCO 3 (s) that reacts, you can determine from the balanced equation the mass of NaCl that should be produced. You can compare this theoretical value with the actual experimental mass of NaCl produced. This experiment should aid in the understanding of the mole-mass relationships that exist in a chemical reaction and in the interpretation of a balanced chemical equation. Purpose: Compare the experimental mass of a product of a chemical reaction with the mass predicted for that product by calculation. Materials: 6M hydrochloric acid (HCl) sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3 ) evaporating dish watch glass burner ringstand 10 ml graduated cylinder disposable pipet CAUTION: Handle hydrochloric acid with care. Flush any spills with cold water and a dilute solution of sodium bicarbonate and report to your instructor. Do not lean over the apparatus. Procedure: 1] Flame dry a clean evaporating dish by heating it in the hot part of a burner flame for a few minutes. Allow the dish to cool. 2] Find the combined mass of the evaporating dish plus a watch glass. This is mass (a) in your data list

24 3] Leaving the watch glass and evaporating dish on the balance. Tare the balance and add 2.50 g of sodium bicarbonate using a microspatula. Record this mass as (b) in your data list. 4] Set up the ring stand and burner as shown in figure 1 below. If the dish is smaller than the iron ring, use wire gauze. Place the watch glass on top of the evaporating dish in the iron ring. 5] Obtain about 5 ml of the 6M hydrochloric acid in a clean, graduated cylinder. Using the disposable pipet, slowly add HCl to the NaHCO 3 in the evaporating dish, a few drops at a time. See figure 2 below. Continue adding acid until the reaction (bubbling) stops. Carefully tilt the evaporating dish back and forth a couple of times to make sure that the acid has contacted all the NaHCO 3. After making sure that all bubbling has stopped, remove the watch glass and place it curved side up on the lab bench. 6] Holding the burner in your hand, gently heat the evaporating dish. Use a low flame and move the burner back and forth to avoid splattering. When almost all of the liquid is gone replace the watch glass and heat gently again until no liquid remains. Allow the dish to cool. 7] Find the combined mass of the watch glass, evaporating dish, and contents (NaCl). Record this mass (c), in you data list

26 Mass and Mass Relationships Unit 7 Pre-Lab Discussion: Given a balanced equation and the mass of one of the substances in the reaction, the mass of any other substance can be calculated. Calculations in which a known mass is used to find an unknown mass in a chemical reaction are called mass-mass calculations. In this experiment, a double replacement reaction will occur when an aqueous solution of either potassium iodide or potassium chromate is mixed with aqueous lead nitrate solution. There are two products of this reaction. One is an insoluble solid, which will precipitate out of solution. The other is a soluble salt which will remain in solution (see page 11 for a solubility chart). The insoluble solid will be separated from the liquid and dried, and its mass determined. The value of the experimentally measured mass of the compound will be compared to the theoretical mass of the compound predicted by a mass-mass calculation. This experiment further emphasizes the importance of mass-mass calculations in the chemistry laboratory. Purpose: To compare the theoretical mass of one of the products of a double replacement reaction with the experimentally determined mass of the sameproduct.

Carefully place the beaker containing the hot H 2 SO 4 solution in an ice water bath. 4] After the aluminum foil has dissolved in the KOH solution, place the 250 ml beaker into an ice water bath to cool the hot solution. Allow the black residue to settle to the bottom of the beaker. This reaction is 2Al + 2KOH + 6H 2 O 2KAl( OH) 4 + 3H 2 5] Set up the filtration apparatus while you are waiting. Filter the KAl(OH) 4 into the cold sulfuric acid solution. Slowly stir the white precipitate until all of it dissolves. Label the beaker with your group s information and set it aside overnight. 6] Decant the liquid from the crystals. Wash the liquid down the drain with large amounts of water. Rinse the crystals once with water. Decant. Set the crystals aside to dry. 7] Remove the alum crystals from the beaker. Obtain the mass of the dry crystals
