Reactions in Aqueous Solutions • Water as a universal solvent • Aqueous solutions - solutions with water as solvent • Solubility of ionic compounds in water • Solubility of molecular compounds in water • Strong, weak, and non-electrolyte solutions • Solution compositions - concentrations • Types of reactions in aqueous solutions • Chemical equations for reactions in aqueous solutions • Stoichiometry for reaction in aqueous solution • Redox reactions in aqueous solutions.
Water as a Universal Solvent • Water molecule is very polar; • Water interacts strongly with ionic and polar molecules; • Strong interactions enable water to dissolve many solutes – ionic and nonionic; • Solubility of ionic compounds depends on the relative strength of ion-dipole interactions between ions and water molecules and ionic bonds within the compounds; • Many ionic compounds dissolve in water because of strong ion-dipole interactions; • Polar nonionic compounds dissolve in water due to strong dipole-dipole interactions or hydrogen bonding;
Electrolytes and Nonelectrolytes • Electrolytes – solutions capable of conducting electric current - contain ions that move freely; • Nonelectrolytes – solutions not capable of conducting electric current - contains neutral molecules only; • Strong electrolytes – ionic compounds, strong acids and strong bases; they dissociate completely when dissolved in water, producing a lot of free ions; • Weak electrolytes – weak acids or weak bases; they only dissociate (ionize) partially when dissolved in water – solutions contain mostly neutral molecules and very little free ions.
Strong and Weak Electrolytes • Examples of strong electrolytes – they ionize completely: • NaCl(aq) Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) • H2SO4(aq) H+(aq) + HSO4-(aq) • Ca(NO3)2(aq) Ca2+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq); • Examples of weak electrolytes – they do not ionize completely: • HC2H3O2(aq) H+(aq) + C2H3O2-(aq) • NH4OH(aq) NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq); • Mg(OH)2(s) Mg2+(aq) + 2 OH-(aq)
Nonelectrolytes • Substances that do not ionize in aqueous solution are nonelectrolytes; • Most organic compounds are nonelectrolytes; • Solutions containing such substances cannot conduct electricity, because they do not have freely moving ions. • Examples of nonelectrolytes: • C6H12O6, C12H22O11, CH3OH, C2H5OH, C3H7OH, HOC2H4OH, etc.
Solution Concentrations • The concentration of a solution may be expressed in: • Percent by mass, percent by volume, or molarity; Percent (by mass) = (Mass of solute/Mass of solution) x 100% Percent (by volume) = (Vol. of solute/Vol. of solution) x 100% Molarity = (Mol of solute/Liter of solution) Mol of solute = Liters of solution x Molarity
Percent by Mass • Example: • A sugar solution contains 25.0 g of sugar dissolved in 100.0 g of water. What is the mass percent of sugar in solution? • Percent sugar = {25.0 g/(25.0 g + 100.0 g)} x 100% • = 20.0% (by mass)
Calculation of Mass from Percent • Example: • Seawater contains 3.5% (by mass) of NaCl. How many grams of sodium chloride can be obtained from 5.00 gallons of seawater? (1 gall. = 3.785 L; assume density of seawater = 1.00 g/mL) • Mass of seawater = 5.00 gall x (3785 mL/gall.) x (1.00 g/mL) = 18925 g; • Mass of NaCl = 18925 g sw x (3.5/100) = 662 g
Percent by Volume • Example: • A solution is prepared by mixing 150. mL of methanol, 100. mL of acetone, and 250. mL of water. What is the volume percent of methanol and acetone in solution? • Percent methanol = (150. mL/500. mL) x 100% • = 30.0% (by volume) • Percent acetone = (100. mL/500. mL) x 100% • = 20.0% (by volume)
Molar Concentration • Example: • 4.0 g of sodium hydroxide, NaOH, is dissolved in enough water to make a 100.-mL of solution. Calculate the molarity of NaOH. • Mole of NaOH = 4.0 g NaOH x (1 mole/40.0 g) • = 0.10 mole • Molarity of NaOH = 0.10 mol/0.100 L = 1.0 M
Calculation of Solute Mass in Solution • Example: • How many grams of NaOH are present in 35.0 mL of 6.0 M NaOH solution? • Mole of NaOH = (6.0 mol/L) x 35.0 mL x (1 L/1000 mL) • = 0.21 mol • Mass of NaOH = 0.21 mol x (40.0 g/mol) • = 8.4 g NaOH
Preparing Solutions from Pure Solids • From the volume (in liters) and molarity of solution, calculate the mole and mass of solute needed; • Weigh the mass of pure solute accurately; • Transfer solute into a volumetric flask of appropriate size; • Add deionized water to the volumetric flask, well below the narrow neck, and shake well to dissolve the solute. • When completely dissolved, add more distilled water to fill the flask to the mark and mix the solution well.
Preparing Solution from Solid • Example: • Explain how you would prepare 1.00 L of 0.500 M NaCl solution. • Calculate mass of NaCl needed: • Mole of NaCl = 1.00 L x (0.500 mol/L) = 0.500 mol • Mass of NaCl = 0.500 mol x (58.44 g/mol) = 29.2 g • Preparing the solution: • Weigh 29.2 g of NaCl accurately and transfer into 1-liter volumetric flask. Fill the flask half way with distilled water, shake well until all solid has dissolved. Fill the flask to the 1-liter mark with more distilled water and mix the solution well by inverting the flask back and forth several times.
Preparing Solution from Stock • Calculate volume of stock solution needed using the formula: MiVi = MfVf (i = initial; f = final) • Measure accurately the volume of stock solution and carefully transfer to a volumetric flask of appropriate size; • Dilute stock solution with distilled water to the required volume (or to the “mark” on volumetric flask) • Mix solution well. (Note: if diluting concentrated acid, place some distilled water in the flask, add the concentrated acid, and then add more distilled water to the required volume.)
Preparing Solution from Stock • Example: • Explain how you would prepare 1.0 L of 3.0 M H2SO4 solution from concentrated H2SO4, which is 18 M. • Calculate volume of concentrated H2SO4 needed: • Vol. of conc. H2SO4 = (1.0 L x 3.0 M/18 M) = 0.17 L = 170 mL • Preparing the solution: • Place some distilled water in the 1-liter volumetric flask (that would fill the flask to about a quarter full). Measure accurately 170 mL of conc. H2SO4 and transfer carefully to the volumetric flask that already contains some distilled water. Then fill the flask to the 1-liter mark with more distilled water and mix the solution well by inverting the flask back and forth several times.

Guidelines for Determining Oxidation Numbers of Elements 1. Atoms in the free elemental form are assigned oxidation number zero (0); 2. The sum of oxidation number in neutral molecules or formula units is 0; the sum of oxidation number (o.n.) of atoms in a polyatomic ion is equal to the net charge of the ion (in magnitude and sign); 3. In their compounds, each Group IA metal is assigned an o.n. of +1; each Group IIA metal an o.n. of +2; boron and aluminum each an o.n. of +3, and fluorine an o.n. of –1; 4. Hydrogen is assigned an o.n. of +1 in compounds or polyatomic ions with nonmetals, and an o.n. of –1 in metal hydrides; 5. In compounds and polyatomic ions, oxygen is assigned an o.n. of -2, except in peroxides, in which its o.n. is –1; 6. In binary compounds with metals, chlorine, bromine, and iodine each has an o.n. of -1; sulfur, selenium, and tellurium each has an o.n. of -2.

Balancing Redox Reactions by Half-Equation Method • Example-1: Balance the following oxidation-reduction reaction in aqueous solution: • MnO4-(aq) + Fe2+(aq) Mn2+(aq) + Fe3+(aq) • Solution-1: • Note: the above equation is both not balanced and not complete. It only shows the components (reactants) that undergoes changes is oxidation numbers; • Redox reactions in acidic solution means that you need to add H+ ion in the equation, which produces water as one of the products.
Balancing Redox Reactions by Half-Equation Method • Solution-1 (continued) • Balancing the equation – first step, break up the equation into two half equations: oxidation and reduction half-equations: • MnO4-(aq) Mn2+(aq) • In this case, all the four oxygen in MnO4- will become water in acidic solution. So, add enough H+ ion to form H2O with the four oxide ions in in MnO4-. The half-equation with all atoms balanced will look like this: • MnO4-(aq) + 8H+(aq) Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O(l)
Balancing Redox Reactions by Half-Equation Method • Solution-1 (continued) • Next step, check the total charges on both side of the half-equation; note that they are not equal. Add enough electrons on the side that has more positive charges (or less negative charges), so that the total charges on both sides become equal (in magnitude and sign). • MnO4-(aq) + 8H+(aq) + 5e- Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O(l); • Now we have a balanced reduction half-equation. • (How do you know it is “reduction” half-equation?)
Balancing Redox Reactions by Half-Equation Method • Solution-1 (continued) • Next, write the other half-equation and balance it: • Fe2+(aq) Fe3+(aq) + e-; (this is oxidation half-equation) • To obtain the overall equation, we add the two balanced half-equations, but make sure the number of electrons on both half-equations are equal, so that they cancel out. The overall equation should not contain any electrons. In this case, we multiply the above oxidation half-equation by 5 and obtain: • 5Fe2+(aq) 5Fe3+(aq) + 5e-; • Now, adding the two half-equations yields the following balanced net ionic equation: • MnO4-(aq) + 5Fe2+(aq) + 8H+(aq) Mn2+(aq) + 5Fe3+(aq) + 4H2O(l);
Balancing Redox Reactions by Half-Equation Method • Example-2:Balance the following oxidation-reduction reaction in acidic solution: • Cr2O72-(aq) + H2O2(aq) Cr3+(aq) + O2(g) + H2O(l); • Solution-2: Write the two half-equations and balance them. • Reduction half-equation: • Cr2O72-(aq) + 14H+(aq) + 6e- 2Cr3+(aq) + 7H2O(l); • Oxidation half-equation: • H2O2(aq) O2(g) + 2H+(aq) + 2e-;
Balancing Redox Reactions by Half-Equation Method • Solution-2 (continued) • Multiply the oxidation half-equation by 3 to make the number of electrons equal with that of the reduction-half equation. • 3H2O2(aq) 3 O2(g) + 6H+(aq) + 6e-; • Then add the two half-equations, canceling all the electrons on both side of the equation, all the H+ ions on the right-hand side, and the same number of H+ ions on the left-hand side. The final (balanced) net ionic equation will be as follows: • Cr2O72-(aq)+ 3H2O2(aq) + 8H+(aq) 2Cr3+(aq) + 3O2(g) + 7H2O(l);
Balancing Redox Reactions by Half-Equation Method • Example-3: Balance the following oxidation-reduction reaction in basic solution: • Cr(OH)4-(aq) + H2O2(aq) CrO42-(aq) + H2O(l); • Solution-3: • Write the two half-equations and balance them, adding electrons on either side as needed to balance the charges. • Note that this reaction is in basic solution, which means the overall equation should contains OH- ion instead of H+ ions.
Balancing Redox Reactions by Half-Equation Method • Solution-3 (continued): • Oxidation half-equation: • Cr(OH)4-(aq) + 4OH-(aq) CrO42-(aq) + 4H2O(l) + 3e-; • Reduction half-equation: • H2O2(aq) + 2e- 2OH-; • Multiply the oxidation half-equation by 2 and the reduction half-equation by 3 to make the number of electrons in both half-equations equal. • 2Cr(OH)4-(aq) + 8OH-(aq) 2CrO42-(aq) + 8H2O(l) + 6e-; • 3H2O2(aq) + 6e- 6OH-;
