Chemical Reactions Classified by Reaction Type

Precipitation Reactions

Precipitation Reactions Precipitation reactions are reactions in which a solid forms when we mix two solutions. 1) reactions between aqueous solutions of ionic compounds 2) produce an ionic compound that is insoluble in water 3) The insoluble product is called a precipitate.

Precipitation Reactions 2 KI(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) PbI2(s) + 2 KNO3(aq)

No Precipitate Formation = No Reaction KI(aq) + NaCl(aq) KCl(aq) + NaI(aq) No precipitate forms, therefore, no reaction. KI(aq) KCl(aq) + NaI(aq) NaCl(aq)

Process for Predicting the Products of a Precipitation Reaction 1. Determine which ions are present in each aqueous reactant. 2. Determine formulas of possible products. 3. Determine solubility of each potential product in water. 4. If neither product will precipitate, write no reaction after the arrow. 5. If any of the possible products are insoluble, write their formulas as the products of the reaction using (s) after the formula to indicate solid. Write any soluble products with (aq) after the formula to indicate aqueous. 6. Balance the equation. Remember to only change coefficients, not subscripts

Chapter 4 Acid/Base Reactions

Acids and Bases in Solution Acids ionize in water to form H + ions. (More precisely, the H+ from the acid molecule is donated to a water molecule to form hydronium ion, H3O + ) Bases dissociate in water to form OH- ions. (Bases, such as NH3, that do not contain OH- ions, produce OH- by pulling H + off water molecules.) In the reaction of an acid with a base, the H + from the acid combines with the OH- from the base to make water. The cation from the base combines with the anion from the acid to make a salt. acid + base salt + water

Molecular Models of Selected Acids

Acid-Base Reactions Also called neutralization reactions because the acid and base neutralize each other s properties 2 HNO3(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) Ca(NO3)2(aq) + 2 H2O(l) Note that the cation from the base combines with the anion from the acid to make the water soluble salt. The net ionic equation for an acid-base reaction is H + (aq) + OH-(aq) H2O(l) (as long as the salt that forms is soluble in water)

Chapter 4 Acid/Base Titrations

Titration A solution s concentration is determined by reacting it with another solution and using stoichiometry this process is called titration. In the titration, the unknown solution is added to a known amount of another reactant until the reaction is just completed. At this point, called the endpoint, the reactants are in their stoichiometric ratio. The unknown solution is added slowly from an instrument called a burette.

Acid-Base Titrations The difficulty is determining when there has been just enough of one solution (the titrant) added to complete the reaction. In acid-base titrations, because both the reactant and product solutions are colorless, a chemical (indicator) is added that changes color when the solution undergoes large changes in acidity/alkalinity. At the endpoint of an acid-base titration, the number of moles of H + equals the number of moles of OH-. This is the equivalence point.

Titration The titrant is the base solution in the burette. As the titrant is added to the flask, the H + reacts with the OH to form water. But there is still excess acid present so the color does not change. At the titration s endpoint, just enough base has been added to neutralize all the acid. At this point the indicator changes color.

Titration

Chapter 4 Gas-Evolving 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. K2SO3(aq) + H2SO4(aq) K2SO4(aq) + H2SO3(aq) H2SO3 H2O(l) + SO2(g)

NaHCO3(aq) + HCl(aq) NaCl(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) NaHCO3(aq) NaCl(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) HCl(aq)

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 H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Chapter 4 Redox Reactions

Oxidation/Reduction Basic Definitions e- X loses electrons Y gains electron X is oxidized Y is reduced X is the reducing agent Y is the oxidizing agent X increases its oxidation number Y decreases its oxidation number

Oxidation and Reduction - Symbolic Representation

Oxidation and Reduction at the Atomic Level

Redox Reactions Oxidation/reduction reactions involve transferring electrons from one atom to another. Also known as redox reactions Many involve the reaction of a substance with O2(g). 4 Fe(s) + 3 O2(g) 2 Fe2O3(s) Atoms in Elements-------> Ions in Compound

Combustion as Redox 2 H2(g) + O2(g) 2 H2O(g)

Redox without Combustion 2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) 2 NaCl(s)

Reactions of Metals with Nonmetals Consider the following reactions: 4 Na(s) + O2(g) 2 Na2O(s) 2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) 2 NaCl(s) The reactions involve a metal reacting with a nonmetal. In addition, both reactions involve the conversion of free elements into ions. Na2O = 2 Na + + O 2- NaCl = Na + + Cl -

Oxidation and Reduction To convert a free element into an ion, the atoms must gain or lose electrons (of course, if one atom loses electrons, another must accept them). Atoms that lose electrons are being oxidized, atoms that gain electrons are being reduced. 2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) 2 Na + Cl (s) Na Na + + 1 e oxidation Cl2 + 2 e 2 Cl reduction

Chapter 4 Redox Reactions Electron Bookkeeping

Electron Bookkeeping For reactions that are not metal + nonmetal, or do not involve O2, we need a method for determining how the electrons are transferred. Chemists assign a number to each element in a reaction called an oxidation state that allows them to determine the electron flow in the reaction. Even though they look like them, oxidation states are not ion charges! Oxidation states are imaginary charges assigned based on a set of rules. Ion charges are real, measurable charges.

Rules for Assigning Oxidation States (in order of priority) 1. Free elements have an oxidation state = 0. In Na (s), Na = 0 ; In Cl2 (g), Cl2 = 0 2. Monatomic ions have an oxidation state equal to their charge. In NaCl, Na = +1 and Cl = 1 3. (a) The sum of the oxidation states of all the atoms in a compound is 0. Na = +1 and Cl = 1 in NaCl, (+1) + ( 1) = 0

Rules for Assigning Oxidation States (in order of priority) 3. (b) The sum of the oxidation states of all the atoms in a polyatomic ion equals the charge on the ion. In NO3, N = +5 and O = 2 [3 x (2-) + 1 x (5+) = -1] 4. (a) Group I metals have an oxidation state of +1 in all their compounds. (b) Group II metals have an oxidation state of +2 in all their compounds.

Rules for Assigning Oxidation States (in order of priority) 5. In their compounds, nonmetals have oxidation states according to the table below

Assign an oxidation state to each element in the following Br2 K + LiF CO2 SO4 2 Na2O2 Br = 0, (Rule 1) K = +1, (Rule 2) Li = +1, (Rule 4a) & F = 1, (Rule 5) O = 2, (Rule 5) & C = +4, (Rule 3a) O = 2, (Rule 5) & S = +6, (Rule 3b) Na = +1, (Rule 4a) & O = 1, (Rule 3a)

Determine the oxidation states of all the atoms in a propanoate polyatomic anion, C3H5O2 There are no free elements or free ions in propanoate, so the first rule that applies is Rule 3b (C3) + (H5) + (O2) = 1 Because all the atoms are nonmetals, the next rule we use is Rule 5, following the elements in order: H = +1 O = 2 (C3) + 5(+1) + 2( 2) = 1 (C3) = 2 C = ⅔

Oxidation and Reduction Another Definition Oxidation occurs when an atom s oxidation state increases during a reaction. Reduction occurs when an atom s oxidation state decreases during a reaction. -4 0 +4-2 CH4 + 2 O2 CO2 + 2 H2O oxidation reduction

Oxidation Reduction Oxidation and reduction must occur simultaneously. If an atom loses electrons another atom must take them. The reactant that reduces an element in another reactant is called the reducing agent. The reactant that oxidizes an element in another reactant is called the oxidizing agent. 2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) 2 Na + Cl (s) Na is oxidized Cl is reduced Na is the reducing agent Cl2 is the oxidizing agent

Assign oxidation states, determine the element oxidized and reduced, and determine the oxidizing agent and reducing agent in the following reactions: 0 Sn 4+ + Ca Sn 2+ + Ca 2+ Sn 4+ is being reduced; Sn 4+ is the oxidizing agent. Ca is being oxidized; Ca is the reducing agent. 0 0 S +4 2 F2 + S SF4 F is being reduced from F 0 to F-;F2 is the oxidizing agent. S is being oxidized from S 0 to S +4 ;S is the reducing agent. F -

Assign oxidation states, determine the element oxidized and reduced, and determine the oxidizing agent and reducing agent in the following reactions: 0 +7 +3 +4 Fe + MnO4 + 4 H + Fe 3+ + MnO2 + 2 H2O oxidation reduction Fe is the reducing agent. MnO4 is the oxidizing agent.
