How Do We Represent A Chemical Reaction? Reactions are represented by Chemical Equations Chemical Equations Short-hand way of describing a reaction. Provides information about the reaction. Formulas of reactants and products. States of reactants and products. Relative numbers of reactant and product molecules that are required. Can be used to determine masses of reactants used and products that can be made. 3

Symbols Used in Equations Symbols used to indicate state after chemical. (g) = gas; (l) = liquid; (s) = solid. (aq) = aqueous = dissolved in water. C(s) + O 2 (g) CO 2 (g) reactants products Energy symbols used are: D = heat. hn = light. 4

Conservation of Mass Matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, the total mass cannot change. And the total mass of the reactants will be the same as the total mass of the products. In a chemical reaction, all the atoms present at the beginning are still present at the end. If all the atoms are still there, then the mass will not change. 5

Balancing Equations activity Rules for balancing equations: -Balance only one element at a time -Always balance free elements last 6

Aqueous Solutions Many times, the chemicals we are reacting together are dissolved in water. Mixtures of a chemical dissolved in water are called aqueous solutions. Dissolving the chemicals in water helps them to react together faster. The water separates the chemicals into individual molecules or ions. The separate, free-floating particles come in contact more frequently so the reaction speeds up. 7

Dissociation When ionic compounds dissolve in water, the anions and cations are separated from each other. This is called dissociation. However, not all ionic compounds are soluble in water! When compounds containing polyatomic ions dissociate, the polyatomic group stays together as one ion. 8

Dissociation, Continued Potassium iodide dissociates in water into potassium cations and iodide anions. KI(aq) K +1 (aq) + I -1 (aq) K I K +1 I -1 Copper(II) sulfate dissociates in water into copper(ii) cations and sulfate anions. CuSO 4 (aq) Cu +2 (aq) + SO 4-2 (aq) Cu SO 4 Cu +2 SO 4-2 9

Dissociation, Continued Potassium sulfate dissociates in water into potassium cations and sulfate anions. K 2 SO 4 (aq) 2 K +1 (aq) + SO 4-2 (aq) K SO 4 K K +1 SO 4-2 K +1 10

Electrolytes Electrolytes--- substances whose water solution is a conductor of electricity. All electrolytes have ions dissolved in water. Tro's "Introductory 11

Electrolytes, Continued In strong electrolytes, all the electrolyte molecules or formula units are separated into ions. In weak electrolytes, a small percentage of the molecules are separated into ions In nonelectrolytes, none of the molecules are separated into ions. Tro's "Introductory 12

Types of Electrolytes Salts = Water soluble ionic compounds. Mostly strong electrolytes. Acids = Form H + ions and anions in water solution. Sour taste. React and dissolve many metals. Bases = Water-soluble metal hydroxides. Form OH - ions in water solution. Bitter taste, slippery (soapy) feeling solutions. Tro's "Introductory 13

When Will a Salt Dissolve? A compound is soluble in a liquid if it dissolves in that liquid. NaCl is soluble in water, but AgCl is not. A compound is insoluble if a significant amount does not dissolve in that liquid. AgCl is insoluble in water. Though there is a very small amount dissolved, but not enough to be significant. 14

Solubility Rules: Compounds that Are Generally Soluble in Water Compounds containing the following ions are generally soluble Li +, Na +, K +, NH 4 + NO 3, C 2 H 3 O 2 Exceptions (when combined with ions on the left the compound is insoluble) none none Cl, Br, I Ag +, Hg 2 2+, Pb 2+ SO 4 2 Ca 2+, Sr 2+, Ba 2+, Pb 2+ 15

Solubility Rules: Compounds that Are Generally Insoluble Compounds containing the following ions are generally insoluble Exceptions (when combined with ions on the left the compound is soluble or slightly soluble) OH Li +, Na +, K +, NH 4+, H + Ca 2+, Sr 2+, Ba 2+ S 2 Li +, Na +, K +, NH 4+, H + Ca 2+, Sr 2+, Ba 2+ CO 2 3, PO 3 4 Li +, Na +, K +, NH 4+, H + 16

Using the Solubility Rules to Predict an Ionic Compound s Solubility in Water First check the cation: If it is Li +, Na +, K +, or NH 4+, then the compound will be soluble in water. Regardless of the anion. If the cation is not Li +, Na +, K +, or NH 4+, then follow the rule for the anion. If a rule says the compounds are mostly soluble, then the exceptions are insoluble. If a rule says the compounds are mostly insoluble, then the exceptions are soluble. Note: slightly soluble insoluble. 17

Examples of Soluble and Insoluble Compounds KOH Soluble, because the cation is K +. AgBr CaCl 2 Insoluble, even though most compounds with Br are soluble, this is an exception. Soluble, most compounds with Cl are soluble. Pb(NO 3 ) 2 Soluble, because the anion is NO 3. PbSO 4 Insoluble, even though most compounds with SO 4 2 are soluble, this is an exception. 18

Types of Reactions (Part A) Precipitation Reactions Acid-Base Reactions Gas Evolution Reactions 19

Reaction Type 1 A: Precipitation Reactions A reaction that takes place from the exchange of cations and anions This results in the formation of a solid known as a precipitate Note: The reactants can be in any state other than the solid state. 20

Process for Predicting the Products of a Precipitation Reaction 1. Write the formula for the reactants and Determine what ions each aqueous reactant has. 2. Exchange ions. (+) ion from one reactant with (-) ion from the other. 3. Balance charges of combined ions to get formula of each product. 4. Balance the equation. Count atoms. 5. Determine solubility of each product in water. Use the solubility rules. If product is insoluble or slightly soluble, it will precipitate. If neither product will precipitate, no reaction. 23

To identify a gas evolution reaction one of the reactant is usually an acid or a base but not both. K 2 S(aq) + H 2 SO 4 (aq) K 2 SO 4 (aq) + H 2 S(g) Note that if an acid and a base are present as reactants then the reaction will be an acid-base reaction. Other reactions form a gas by the decomposition of one of 33 their products into a gas and water.

Reduction-Oxidation Reactions Also known as RedOx Involves transferring electrons from one atom to another Can be easily identified as Reactions in which either one or more of the reactants or propducts are free elements. Reactions that involve a change in oxidation state from reactant to product 46

Oxidation Reduction Reactions Oxidation: An element is oxidized when: it loses electrons OR when there is an increase in the oxidation state Reduction: An element is reduced when: it gains electrons OR when there is an decrease in the oxidation state Whenever you think of Oxidation- Reduction reactions, think of OIL-RIG 47

What is OIL-RIG? Oxidation Is Loss Reduction Is Gain
