Chapter 5 Reactions in Aqueous Solutions
Chapter goals • Understand the nature of ionic substances dissolved in water. • Recognize common acids and bases and understand their behavior in aqueous solution. • Recognize and write equations for the common types of reactions in aqueous solution. • Recognize common oxidizing and reducing agents and identify common oxidation-reduction reactions. • Define and use the molarity in solution stoichiometry.
Solution • homogeneous mixture • can be gas, liquid, or solid • solvent: component present in highest proportion • exception - water • solute: component(s) in solution other than solvent • We will mostly study aqueous solutions: human body is 2/3 water.
Examples • mixture of 35% naphthalene and 65% benzene • solvent - benzene • solute – naphthalene • mixture of 10% ethanol, 40% methanol, and 50% propanol • solvent - propanol • solute - ethanol and methanol
Examples • mixture of 40% ethanol, 40% methanol, and 20% butanol • solvent - ethanol/methanol • mixed solvent • solute – butanol • mixture of 40% ethanol, 50% propanol, and 10% water • solvent - water • solute - ethanol and propanol
Next… We will focus on compounds that produce ions in aqueous solutions. They are named electrolytes and may be salts, acids, or bases.
Salts Salts: ionic compounds made of cations other than H+ and anions other than OH− or O2−, O22− • NaCl: Na+ & Cl− • K2SO4: K+ & SO42− • FeBr3: Fe3+ & Br− • Zn3(PO4)2: Zn2+ & PO43− • Ca(HCO3)2: Ca2+ & HCO3−
Electrolyte • substance that dissolves to produce an electrically conducting medium • forms ions in solution (dissociates/ionizes) • examples • soluble ionic compounds • H2O • KBr(s) K+(aq)+ Br–(aq) • H2O • Acids, HCl(g) H+(aq) + Cl–(aq) • bases, NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH– • double arrow means equilibrium
Nonelectrolytes • do not form ions in solution • do not form electrically conducting media upon dissolution • Examples: molecular compounds (alcohols, sugars & acetone) • H2O • CH3OH(l) CH3OH(aq) N.D. • Glucose C6H12O6(s) C6H12O6(aq) N.D. • Sucrose C12H22O11(s) C12H22O11(aq) N.D. • N.D. = no dissociation/ionization
Types of Electrolytes • Strong: dissociate ~100% • most ionic compounds (soluble salts), strong acids, and strong bases H2O KBr(s) K+(aq)+ Br–(aq) HCl(g) H+(aq)+ Cl–(aq) NaOH(s) Na+(aq) + OH−(aq) Weak: insoluble salts, weak acids and bases, water (H2O), and certain gases (e.g. CO2) H2O dissociate only slightly in water HF(g) H+(aq)+ F–(aq) Also acetic acid, CH3COOH NH3 + H2O NH4+(aq) + OH–(aq)
Solubility of Ionic compounds in Water: Solubility Rules Soluble Compounds • 1. alkali metal salts (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+…, ) except potassium perchlorate • 2. ammonium (NH4+) salts • 3. all nitrates(NO3−), chlorates (ClO3−), perchlorates (ClO4−), and acetates (C2H3O2−), except silver acetate and potassium perchlorate • 4. all Cl−, Br−, and l− are soluble except for Ag+, Pb2+, and Hg22+ salts • 5. all SO42− are soluble except for Pb2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+ salts
Solubility of Ionic compounds in Water: Rules Insoluble or slightly soluble Compounds • 6. metal oxides (O2−) except those of the alkali metals, Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+ • 7. hydroxides (OH−) except those of the alkali metals, Ba2+, Sr2+, and NH4+. Calcium hydroxide is slightly soluble • 8. carbonates, phosphates, sulfides, and sulfites except those of the alkali metals and the ammonium ion (NH4+) • 9. for salts of Cr2O72−, P3−, CrO42−, C2O42−, • assume they are insoluble except for IA metals and NH4+ salts
Precipitation Reactions:A Driving Force in Chemical Reactions • formation of insoluble solid (precipitate, ppt) is a common reaction in aqueous solutions: • reactants are generally water-soluble ionic compounds • once substances dissolve in water they dissociate to give the appropriate cations and anions • if the cation of one compound forms an insoluble compound with the anion of another, precipitation will occur
Precipitation Reaction:A Double Replacement (Metathesis) Reaction • Both ionic compounds trade partner ions __________ | | AB(aq) + CD(aq) AD(s) + CB(aq) |_______| AD is an insoluble or slightly soluble salt A+, B−, C+, and D− are ions AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) weak electrolyte (unionized precipitate)
Precipitation Reaction:A Double Replacement (Metathesis) ReactionA (solid) precipitate is formed.
Example: complete and balance the equation (NH4)3PO4(aq) + MgSO4(aq) MgPO4(s) + NH4SO4(aq) we will write the right subscripts later Using the solubility rules, predict if at least one product is going to be insoluble in water. According to rule 8, MgPO4 (subscripts not right) is not soluble in water. Ions are Mg2+, PO43−, NH4+, and SO42−; subscripts (NH4)3PO4(aq) + MgSO4(aq) Mg3(PO4)2(s) + (NH4)2SO4(aq) balancing 2(NH4)3PO4(aq) + 3MgSO4(aq) Mg3(PO4)2(s) + 3(NH4)2SO4(aq)
Example: complete and balance theequation • Na2SO4(aq) + BaBr2(aq) Na2SO4(aq) + BaBr2(aq) BaSO4(s) + NaBr Na2SO4 + BaBr2BaSO4(s) + 2NaBr(aq) driving force = formation of insoluble barium sulfate (precipitate) • Os(NO3)5(aq) + Rb2S(aq) Os(NO3)5 + Rb2S Os2S5(s) + RbNO3(aq) 2 Os(NO3)5 + 5 Rb2S Os2S5(s) + 10 RbNO3 driving force = form. of insoluble Os5+ sulfide (precipitate)
Net Ionic Equations: Spectator Ions The equation AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) is not quite correct, because three salts are dissociated in ions while AgCl is a precipitate. Ag+(aq) + NO3−(aq) + Na+(aq) + Cl−(aq) AgCl(s) + Na+(aq) + NO3−(aq) before reaction after reaction Na+ and NO3− are present on both sides of equation, i.e., before and after reaction. They are called spectator ions; they do not participate in net reaction; they can be removed from the equation, but they remain in the solution. Ag+(aq) + Cl−(aq) AgCl(s) is the net ionic equation
Net Ionic Equations: Spectator Ions For two previous examples: 2(NH4)3PO4(aq) + 3MgSO4(aq) Mg3(PO4)2(s) + 3(NH4)2SO4(aq) 6NH4+(aq) + 2PO43−(aq) + 3Mg2+(aq) + 3SO42−(aq) Mg3(PO4)2(s) + beforereaction 6NH4+(aq) + 3SO42−(aq) after reaction 3Mg2+(aq) + 2PO43−(aq) Mg3(PO4)2(s) is the net equation spectator ions are eliminated from the equation ======================= Na2SO4(aq) + BaBr2(aq) BaSO4(s) + 2NaBr(aq) 2Na+(aq) + SO42−(aq) + Ba2+(aq) + 2Br−(aq) BaSO4(s) + 2Na+(aq) + 2Br− Ba2+(aq) + SO42−(aq) BaSO4(s) net ionic equation
Net Ionic Equations: Spectator Ions For the metathesis reaction 2 KF(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) PbF2(s) + 2 KNO3(aq) • formula unit equation spectator ions are eliminated 2K+ + 2F– + Pb2+ + 2 NO3– PbF2 + 2K+ + 2NO3– ionic equation PbF2 is the precipitate 2F–(aq) + Pb2+(aq) PbF2(s) net ionic equation
Net Ionic Equations: Spectator Ions NH4Cl(aq) + KNO3(aq) NH4NO3(aq) + KCl(aq) NH4+ + Cl– + K+ + NO3– NH4+ + NO3– + K+ + Cl– all ions are spectators; all can be cancelled no net ionic equation no driving force for reaction N.R. (there is no reaction) The two salts are just dissolved in water.

Redox (Oxidation-Reduction) Reactions • involve transfer of electron(s) • oxidation: loss of electron(s) • reduction: gain of electron(s) • some can be identified when an uncombined element is a reactant or a product • eg. Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s) • Zn Zn2+ • Zn(s) Zn2+(aq) + 2 e–, oxidation • Cu2+ Cu • Cu2+(aq) + 2e– Cu(s), reduction
Single Displacement Reactions • Zn(s) + CuCl2(aq) Cu(s) + ZnCl2(aq) • Zn oxidized to Zn2+ • Cu2+ reduced to Cu • occurs because zinc is more active than copper • Cl2(g) + CuBr2(aq) Br2(l)+ CuCl2(aq) • Br oxidized from Br– to Br2 • Cl reduced from Cl2 to Cl– • Cl is more active than Br
Oxidation Numbers • also an accounting tool • very useful • oxidation numbers of all atoms in substance add up to charge on substance e.g. (charge of species) zero for Al2(SO4)3 and H3PO4 +1 for NH4+ –2 for Cr2O72–
Assigning Oxidation Numbers, ON • ON = 0 for all atoms in any substance in most elemental form, Na(s), Zn(s), Hg(l) H2(g), Cl2(g), I2(s), O2(g), C(s), P4(s), S8(s) • ON = charge for monatomic ions (Na+, S2−) • ON = –1 for F in all compounds • ON = –2 for O in compounds, usually • exceptions: peroxide, O22–, ON = –1 • superoxide, O2–, ON = –1/2 • ON = +1 for H in compounds, usually • exception: ON = –1 in metallic hydrides
Assigning Oxidation Numbers, ON • ON = +1 for alkali metals in compounds • ON = +2 for alkaline earth metals in compounds • ON = +3 for Al in compounds • ON = −1 for Cl, Br, and I (iodine) in binary compounds except for those with oxygen (in these cases they variable positive) • F is always −1
