3. Reactions between ions in solution Neutralization is an example of a reaction between ions in solution.
When ions react, we might observe the formation of a precipitate or a gas.
AgNO3 (aq) + NaCl (aq) AgCl (s) + NaNO3 (aq)
Na2CO3 (aq) + 2HNO3 (aq) 2NaNO3 (aq) +H2O (l) CO2 (g)
However, not all ions will react in solution.
KNO3 (aq) + NaCl (aq) No reaction
Solubility rules can help predict reactions.
4. Some simple solubility rules All acids are soluble.
All Na+, K+ and NH4+ salts are soluble.
All nitrate, acetate, and perchlorate salts are soluble.
All chlorides except AgCl and Hg2Cl2 are soluble. PbCl2 is slightly soluble.
All sulfates are soluble except PbSO4, Hg2SO4, SrSO4 and BaSO4. Ag2SO4 and CaSO4 are slightly soluble.
All sulfides are insoluble except those of the Group IA (1), IIA (2) and ammonium sulfide.
All hydroxides are insoluble except those of the group IA(1) and Ba(OH)2. Sr(OH)2 and Ca(OH)2 are slightly soluble.
5. Ionic equations When ionic substances dissolve in water, they dissociate into ions.
AgNO3 Ag+ + NO3-
KCl K+ + Cl-
When a reaction occurs, only some of the ions are actually involved in the reaction.
Ag+ + NO3- + K+ + Cl- AgCl(s) + K+ + NO3-
6. Ionic equations To help make the reaction easier to see, we commonly list only the species actually involved in the reaction.
Complete ionic equation
Ag+ + NO3- + K+ + Cl- AgCl(s) + K+ + NO3-
Net ionic equation
Ag+ + Cl- AgCl(s)
NO3- and K+ are referred to as spectator ions.
On Question 4 – ALL reactions should be shown in net ionic form
N.B. – Not all of the reactions will occur in solution, therefore, the “net ionic equation” won’t contain any ions
Example - Combustion
7. Single replacement reaction Where one element displaces another in a chemical compound. The “displacer” must be more reactive than the “displacee”.
H2 + CuO Cu + H2O
In this example, hydrogen replaces copper.
This type of reaction always involves oxidation and reduction (REDOX).
In this case there are no spectator ions.
When single replacement reactions occur in solution, a spectator ion will usually exist.
8. Single Replacement Reactions in Solution Example:
CuSO4 (aq) + Mg (s) ? MgSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)
Any species in an aqueous state should be written as dissociated ions
Complete Ionic Equation:
Cu2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) + Mg(s) ? Mg2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) + Cu(s)
Net Ionic Equation:
Cu2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) + Mg(s) ? Mg2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) + Cu(s)
Cu2+(aq) + Mg(s) ? Mg2+(aq) + Cu(s)
Another Question #4 hint – Equations need not be balanced! Only the species need to be correct. Also, states do not have to be shown. The reactant states are usually indicated or implied by the wording of the question, although they don’t have to be written
9. Single replacement reactions If various metals are in water, we observe that some are more reactive than others.
2Na (s) + 2H2O (l) 2NaOH (aq) + H2 (g) (fast)
Ca (s) + 2H2O (l) Ca(OH)2 (s) + H2 (g) (slow)
Mg (s) + H2O (l) no reaction
This indicates that the order of reactivity of these metals towards water is
Na > Ca > Mg
We can show the reactivity of metals towards water and acids using an activity series.
10. Activity series of metals
11. Activity series of metals -various metals in HCl
12. Reactivity of nonmetals
13. Decomposition Often occurs when a solid is heated.
Several relevant patterns:
Chlorates-
Decompose to form the metal chloride and oxygen gas
Hydrogen carbonates (bicarbonates)-
Decompose to form the carbonate, water vapor, and carbon dioxide gas
Carbonates-
Decompose to form the metal oxide and carbon dioxide gas
Hydrogen peroxide
Decomposes (in light or with heat) to form liquid water and oxygen gas
14. Synthesis Reactions often occur between metals and nonmetals to form ionic compounds.
The metal is oxidized.
The nonmetal is reduced.
Syntheses don’t occur in solution, so species will not be written as dissociated ions.
Example:
Na (s) + Cl2 (g) ? NaCl (s)
15. Oxidation number or state When dealing with simple ions, this is easy to determine. It is simply the charge on the ion.
Examples
Group IA (1) +1
Group IIA (2) +2
Group VIIA (17) -1
Oxygen -2 usually
Hydrogen +1 if bonded to nonmetal
Hydrogen -1 if bonded to metal
16. Oxidation number For elements in their elemental state, the oxidation number is also pretty straightforward.
Since all of the atoms are the same, the electrons are shared equally so the oxidation number is zero.
Examples
The atoms in N2, Na, P4, H2 and O2 all have oxidation numbers of zero.
The bonds in the molecules above are covalent (the electrons are shared) and nonpolar (shared equally)
17. Oxidation numbers With polar covalent bonds electrons are shared but not equally.
We will see a little later that some covalent bonds are more polar than others.
For electrons that are shared in these compounds, we assign the shared electrons to the most electronegative element.
We are just acting as though the electronegativity difference was large enough for the transfer of electrons to occur.
18. Example Assign the oxidation states for all elements in water.
The electronegativities are: H = 2.2, O = 3.5
The electrons from both hydrogen are assigned to the oxygen.
Oxidation numbers: O = -2
H = +1
19. Rules for assigningoxidation numbers The sum of the oxidation number of all atoms must equal the net charge of the species.
In compounds:
Group IA are +1.
Group IIA are +2.
B and Al are +3, and F is -1.
Hydrogen is +1 except when combined with a metal. Then it is -1.
Oxygen is -2 except for peroxides (-1) and superoxides (- ˝).
Elements in their elemental state have an oxidation number of zero.
20. Oxidation numbers Many elements have more than one possible oxidation number.
Often, it is possible to determine the oxidation number of those elements in a compound simply by looking at what you do know.
Follow the previous rules and then assign an oxidation number that insures that the overall compound has no net charge
21. Example Find the oxidation state for all elements in:
22. Example See what you do know and find the difference.
HNO3
24. Oxidation numbers and the periodic table Some observed trends in compounds.
Metals have positive oxidation numbers.
Transition metals typically have more than one oxidation number.
Nonmetals and semimetals have both positive and negative oxidation numbers.
No element exists in a compound with an oxidation number greater than +8.
The most negative oxidation numbers equals 8 - the group number
25. Oxidation number and nomenclature Stock system
For metals with several possible oxidation numbers, use Roman numeral in the name.
FeSO4 iron(II) sulfate
Fe2(SO4)3 iron (III) sulfate
Cu2O copper(I) oxide
CuO copper(II) oxide
PbCl2 lead(II) chloride
PbCl4 lead(IV) chloride
26. Oxidation number and nomenclature Inorganic oxygen-containing acids and anions
Oxo acids and oxo anions rely on a modification of the name to indicate the oxidation number.
Acids Anions
per ________ic per ________ate
________ic ________ate
________ous ________ite
hypo________ous hypo ________ite
27. Oxidation number and nomenclature Examples
Cl oxidation
number Formula Name
+7 HClO4 Perchloric acid
+5 HClO3 Chloric acid
+3 HClO2 Chlorous acid
+1 HClO Hypochlorous acid
+7 NaClO4 Sodium perchlorate
+5 NaClO3 Sodium chlorate
+3 NaClO2 Sodium chlorite
+1 NaClO Sodium hypochlorite
28. Identifying oxidation-reduction reactions. Oxidation-Reduction - REDOX
A chemical reaction where there is a net change in the oxidation number of one or more species.
Both an oxidation and a reduction must occur during the reaction.
29. REDOX reactions Oxidation
An increase in oxidation number.
Reduction
A decrease in oxidation number.
If the oxidation number of any element changes in the course of a reaction, the reaction is oxidation-reduction.
Example.
2 Fe(NO3)3 (aq) + Zn(s) 2 Fe(NO3)2 (aq) + Zn(NO3)2 (aq)
30. Example 2Fe(NO3)3 (aq) + Zn(s) 2Fe(NO3)2 (aq) + Zn(NO3)2 (aq)
31. Balancing REDOX equations Many REDOX equations can be balanced by inspection.
H2S (g) + H2O2 (aq) S (s) + 2 H2O (l)
However, others are more difficult.
2KMnO4 (aq) + H2O2 (l) + 3H2SO4 (aq)
2MnSO4 (aq) + K2SO4 (aq) + 3O2 (g) + 4H2O (l)
32. Balancing REDOX equations Half-Reaction method.
With this approach, the reaction is broken into two parts.
Oxidation half-reaction. The portion of the reaction where electrons are lost.
A An+ + ne-
Reduction half-reaction. The portion of the reaction where electrons are gained.
me- + B Bm-
33. Balancing REDOX equations The goal is then to make sure that the same number of electrons are being produced and consumed.
(m) ( A An+ + ne- )
(n) (me- + B Bm- )
nB + mA mAn+ + nBm+
When properly balanced, the electrons will cancel out.
34. Half reactions Example.
Half-reactions can be of the ‘net ionic’ form. Balance the following:
Fe3+ + Zn (s) Fe2+ + Zn2+
2 ( Fe3+ + e- Fe2+ ) (reduction)
Zn(s) Zn2+ + 2e- (oxidation)
2Fe3+ + Zn (s) 2Fe2+ + Zn2+
35. Half reactions Another Example
Determine the balanced equation for the reaction of Fe2+ with Cr2O72- in an acidic solution.
Fe2+ + Cr2O72- Fe3+ + Cr3+
The two half-reactions would be:
Fe2+ Fe3+
Cr2O72- Cr3+
36. Half reactions First, balance each half-reaction for all elements except hydrogen and oxygen.
Fe2+ Fe3+
Cr2O72- 2Cr3+
Next, balance each half-reaction with respect to oxygen by adding an appropriate number of H2O.
Fe2+ Fe3+
Cr2O72- 2Cr3+ + 7H2O
37. Half reactions Remember that this reaction occurs in an acid solution so we can add H+ as needed.
Fe2+ Fe3+
14H+ + Cr2O72- 2Cr3+ + 7H2O
Now we need to know how many electrons are produced or consumed and place them in our half-reactions.
For iron, one e- is produced.
For dichromate, six e- are consumed.
38. Half-reactions Fe2+ Fe3+ + e-
6e- + 14 H+ + Cr2O72- 2Cr3+ + 7H2O
We need the same number of electrons produced and consumed so:
6Fe2+ 6Fe3+ + 6e-
6e- + 14H+ + Cr2O72- 2Cr3+ + 7H2O
As our final step, we need to combine the half-reactions and cancel out the electrons.
39. Half-reactions 6Fe2+ + 14H+ + Cr2O72- 6Fe3+ + 2Cr3+ + 7H2O
In this reaction, Fe2+ is oxidized and the dichromate ion is reduced.
This reaction is used for the determination of iron by titration.
40. Disproportionation reactions In some reactions, the same species is both oxidized and reduced.
Examples
2H2O2 (l) 2H2O (l) + O2 (g)
Notice this is a decomposition reaction! Remember – decomposition is one sub-type of redox.
3Br2 (aq) +6OH- (aq) BrO3-(aq) +5Br-(aq) +3H2O(l)
For this to occur, the species must be in an intermediate oxidation state. Both a higher and lower oxidation state must exist.
41. Complex Ion Formation Transition metal ions for complex ions when they combine with a “ligand”
Common metals: Fe, Co, Ni, Cr, Cu, Zn, Ag, Al
Sometimes form/dissolve with the addition of acid or base
Possible ligands:
NH3
CN-
OH-
SCN-
General rule: Look at the charge on the metal ion and double to determine the number of ligands to use – maximum = 6
Typically, one coordination/complex reaction choice out of the eight.
Key phrases:
“excess concentrated ammonia”
“excess cyanide solution”
“excess –fill-in-the-blank- hydroxide solution”
“thiocyanate”
Names of substances that are obviously complex ions
Complex ion formulae are always placed in square brackets with the net charge outside
Be careful of the charge of the metal ions and ligands to arrive at the correct net charge
42. Example #1a – Formation of ammine complexes Copper(II) chloride solution is combined with an excess of concentrated ammonia solution
Cu2+ + NH3 ? [Cu(NH3)4]2+
Notes:
There are four ammonia ligands on the Cu2+
The charge of the complex ion is the same as the Cu2+, as the ammonia ligand is electrically neutral
Chloride is a spectator ion
43. Example #1b – Formation of ammine complexes The ammonia ligand can “kick out” a hydroxide ion to form a complex ion, almost like a single replacement reaction
An excess of concentrated ammonia solution is added to freshly precipitated copper(II) hydroxide.
NH3 + Cu(OH)2 ? [Cu(NH3)4]2+ + OH-
Notes:
Number of ligands in complex ion
Charge of complex ion
Reaction is electrically balanced
44. Possible Shapes of [Cu(NH3)4]2+
45. Example #1c – Dissolution of ammine complexes Ammine complexes for via the addition of a base, therefore, they can be dissolved by adding strong (but not necessarily concentrated) acid.
Remember your list of strong acids & strong bases!
A solution of diamminesilver(I) chloride is treated with dilute nitric acid.
[Ag(NH3)2]+ + Cl- + H+ ? AgCl + NH4+
Notes:
Nomenclature for complex ion
The complex ion chloride is soluble, as most chlorides are
The silver chloride product is written as a compound as it is one of the insoluble chlorides
The ammonium ion product balances the reaction electrically
* “Concentrated ammonia” is really ammonium hydroxide
The nitrate ion from the acid is a spectator
46. Structure of [Ag(NH3)2]+
47. Example #2 – Formation of cyanide complexes Excess sodium cyanide solution is added to a solution of silver nitrate
CN- + Ag+ ? [Ag(CN)2]-
Notes:
If balanced, there would be two cyanide ions in the reactants and the reaction would be electrically balanced, as well
Notice the number of cyanide ligands
The sodium and nitrate ions are spectators
Because we recognize that cyanide typically forms complexes we do not write:
CN- + Ag+ ? AgCN
48. Example #3 – Formation of hydroxo complexes Excess potassium hydroxide solution is added to a solution of aluminum nitrate
There are two acceptable products: The complex ion and the aluminum hydroxide precipitate
OH- + Al3+ ? Al(OH)3 or [Al(OH)6]3+
Excess potassium hydroxide is added to a precipitate of aluminum hydroxide in water
Now our only possible product is the complex ion
We may have a maximum of six ligands, but no fewer than four
49. Exammple #4 – Formation of thiocyanato complexes A solution of ammonium thiocyanate is added to a solution of iron(III) chloride
SCN- + Fe3+ ? [Fe(SCN)6]3-
Notes:
Again we write a complex ion product, because we recognize the SCN- to be a ligand-forming ion
The best bet is always to add double the charge of ligands, even though sometimes fewer is OK, but never exceed six.
