Electrolytes Defining and Identifying
Electrolytes • Where or in what context have you heard this term used? • Define Electrolyte • A substance whose aqueous solutions contain ions • Substances can be defined as strong or weak electrolytes depending on the % ionization of the substance. • Solutions of electrolytes conduct electricity due to the presence of ions • (Nonelectrolyte: a substance whose aqueous solutions do not contain ions)
Electrolytes Strong Weak Less than 100% ionization when dissolved in water Weak electrolytes establish an equilibrium between the ionized state and the molecular state • Completely Ionize in aqueous solutions • Essentially 100%* of the substance breaks down into ions when dissolved in water
Strong Electrolytes • The following substances are strong electrolytes: • 1) Soluble ionic compounds • 2) Strong Acids (7) • HCl • HBr • HI • HNO3 • HClO4 • HClO3 • H2SO4
Weak Electrolytes • These substances only partially ionize in aqueous solutions • Molecular compounds are the only type of substances that are weak electrolytes • When these molecular compounds dissolve in water, they mostly exist as neutral molecules, but a small portion of the molecules breakdown into ions. An Equilibrium results from this partial breakdown.
Electrolytes as reaction equations • Strong Electrolytes: • HCl(aq) H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) • Ca(NO3)2(aq) Ca2+(aq) + 2 NO3-(aq) • HNO3(aq) • AlCl3(aq) • Weak Electrolytes: • HC2H3O2(aq) H+(aq) + C2H3O2-(aq)
Practice Problem • The picture to the right represents an aqueous solution of either MgCl2, KCl, or K2SO4. • Which solution does this picture best represent?
Practice Problem • If 2.50 grams of K2SO4 is dissolved in enough water to make 500 ml of solution, what would be the molarity of each ion in this solution?
Acids & Bases Acids Bases Are substances that accept hydrogen ions “Proton Acceptors” Strong Bases: soluble metal hydroxides Group I hydroxides Heavy Group II (Ca, Sr, and Ba) hydroxides Weak Bases: usually contain nitrogen (NH3) • Substances that ionize in aqueous solutions to from hydrogen ions (H+) • “Proton Donors” • Strong Acids (7) fully ionize • Weak Acids partially ionize, form equilibrium • Monoprotic, diprotic, and polyprotic
Neutralization Reactions • Neutralization Reactions occur between an Acid and a Base • They are named neutralization reactions, since the remove the acidic or basic character of the solution and produce a “neutral” solution • The H+ from the acid reacts with the base to form water and either a salt, or a gas • Salt: any ionic compound that is formed from the cation of a base and an anion of an acid • Not always NaCl !
Neutralization Reactions • When determining the products of a neutralization reaction, treat them like double replacement reactions. • HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) • 2 HCl(aq) + Na2S(aq)
Neutralization Reactions • Reactions involving carbonate compounds are a special type of neutralization reaction. The formation of carbonic acid in a reaction leads to a secondary reaction: • Carbonic acid is unstable and decomposes to produce water and carbon dioxide • HCl(aq) + NaHCO3(aq)
Solution Stoichiometry Quantitative analysis involving aqueous reactions
Example problem • How many grams of Ca(OH)2 are needed to neutralize 25.0 ml of 0.100 M HNO3?
Critical Skills • In order to be effective with aqueous stoichiometry problems you need to be comfortable with the following: • Writing and Balancing Reactions • Using Molarity and volume to find moles (v x M=Moles) • Many steps in these problem are very similar to our previously encountered stoichiometry problems
Example problem • How many liters of 0.500 M HCl(aq) are needed to react completely with 0.100 moles of Pb(NO3)2(aq), forming a precipitate of PbCl2?
Titrations • A fundamental technique in analyzing aqueous reactions is the process of carrying out a titration. • Titrations involve combining a solution where the solute concentration is unknown with a reagent solution of a known concentration. • The solution of known concentration is referred to as a standard solution.
Titrations • One of the solutions is added to the reaction through a buret. • A buret allows for controlled additions of a liquid and an accurate volume readings.
Titrations • The solution in the buret is added to the reaction until an endpoint is reached. • This endpoint is known as an equivalence point • The point at which stoichiometrically equivalent quantities are brought together.
Equivalence Point • The equivalence point is what a titration is trying to find. You are trying to find the volume of a known molarity solution that is required to completely react with the unknown solution. • Equivalence points are often signaled by a change in color. • When the reaction involved is complete, there is a change in the properties of the resulting solution. These new properties cause chemicals known as indicators to change color. • At the equivalence point the volume of solution added through the buret is recorded.
Titrations • When a titration is complete you will have the following data: • Volume of unknown solution • Molarity of the standard solution • Volume of the standard solution • These 3 pieces of data will allow you to calculate the number of moles in the unknown solution and then the molarity of the unknown solution.
Example Problem • 48.0 ml of an unknown concentration NaOH solution is titrated with 0.144 M H2SO4. The solution goes from pink to clear after the addition of 35.0 ml of the H2SO4 solution from a buret. Determine the concentration of the unknown NaOH solution.
Example Problem • The quantity of Cl- in a municipal water supply is determined by titrating the sample with Ag+. The precipitation reaction that occurs is: • Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) AgCl(s) • An indicator is used to determine the equivalence point of the titration. • 1) How many grams of chloride ion are in a sample of water if 20.2 ml of 0.100 M Ag+ is needed to react with all the chloride in the sample? • 2) If the mass of the water sample was 10.0 grams, what is the % mass of the Cl- ion in the sample?
