Chapter 4. Reactions in Aqueous Solution

Common Student Misconceptions

• Molarity is moles of solute per liter of solution, not per liter of solvent.

• Students sometimes use moles instead of molarity in MinitialVinitial = MfinalVfinal.

• Students often disregard rules for significant figures when calculating or using molarities.

• Students sometimes think that water is a good conductor.

• Students sometimes have a problem with the arbitrary difference between strong and weak

electrolytes.

Teaching Tips

• Weaknesses in recollection of ionic nomenclature and the structure of common ions often make it

difficult for students to write molecular, complete ionic, and net ionic equations for metathesis

reactions. A brief review of ionic nomenclature is often useful prior to covering metathesis reactions.

Lecture Outline

4.1 General Properties of Aqueous Solutions

1

• A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.

Electrolytic Properties

2

• All aqueous solutions can be classified in terms of whether or not they conduct electricity.

Ionic Compounds in Water

3

,

4

• When an ionic compound dissolves in water, the ions are said to dissociate.

• This means that in solution, the solid no longer exists as a well-ordered arrangement of ions in

contact with one another.

• Instead, each ion is surrounded by several water molecules; it is called an aqueous ion denoted

Molecular Compounds in Water

5

,

6

• When a molecular compound (e.g. CH3OH ) dissolves in water, the solution usually consists of intact

molecules dispersed homogeneously in the solution.

• Therefore, there is nothing in the solution to transport electric charge and the solution does not

conduct electricity and most molecular compounds are nonelectrolytes.

• There are some important exceptions.

• For example, HCl(g) in water ionizes to form H+(aq) and Cl–(aq).

Strong and Weak Electrolytes

• Compounds whose aqueous solutions conduct electricity well are called strong electrolytes.

• These substances exist in solution mostly as ions.

• Example: NaCl

Chapter 4

48

NaCl(aq) → Na+(aq) + Cl–(aq)

• The single arrow indicates that the Na+ and Cl– ions have no tendency to recombine to form

NaCl.

• In general, soluble ionic compounds are strong electrolytes.

• Other strong electrolytes include strong acids and soluble strong bases.

• Compounds whose aqueous solutions conduct electricity poorly are called weak electrolytes.

• These substances exist as a mixture of ions and un-ionized molecules in solution.

• This balance produces a state of chemical equilibrium.

FORWARD REFERENCES:

• Double arrows () will be used in the chapter on chemical equilibria (Chapter 15) and

beyond.

4.2 Precipitation Reactions

12

13

,

14

• Reactions that result in the formation of an insoluble product are known as precipitation reactions.

• A precipitate is an insoluble solid formed by a reaction in solution.

• Example: Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2KI(aq) → PbI2(s) + 2KNO3(aq)

• The solubility of a substance at a particular temperature is the amount of that substance that can be

dissolved in a given quantity of solvent at that temperature.

• A substance with a solubility of less than 0.01 mol/L is regarded as being insoluble.

• Experimental observations have led to empirical guidelines for predicting solubility.

• Solubility guidelines for common ionic compounds in water:

Reactions in Aqueous Solution

49

• Exceptions are the compounds of Sr2+, Ba2+, Hg22+, and Pb2+.

• Compounds containing S2– are insoluble.

Exchange (Metathesis) Reactions

• Exchange reactions, or metathesis reactions, involve swapping ions in solution:

AX + BY → AY + BX.

• Many precipitation and acid-base reactions exhibit this pattern.

Ionic Equations

20

,

21

• The complete ionic equation lists all strong soluble electrolytes in the reaction as ions:

Pb2+(aq) + 2NO3–(aq) + 2K+(aq) + 2I–(aq) → PbI2(s) + 2K+(aq) + 2NO3–(aq)

• Only strong electrolytes dissolved in aqueous solution are written in ionic form.

• Weak electrolytes and nonelectrolytes are written in their complete chemical form.

• The net ionic equation lists only those ions which are not common on both sides of the reaction:

Pb2+(aq) + 2I–(aq) → PbI2(s)

FORWARD REFERENCES:

• Net ionic equations will be frequently used in chapters dealing with acid-base reactions

(Chapters 16 and 17) as well as in electrochemistry (Chapter 20, Appendix E)

• Equilibria involving insoluble or poorly soluble compounds and their ions will be discussed

in more detail in Chapter 17 (section 17.4).

4.3 Acids, Bases, and Neutralization Reactions

Acids

• Acids are substances that are able to ionize in aqueous solution to form H+.

• Ionization occurs when a neutral substance forms ions in solution.

Chapter 4

50

• Acids that ionize to form one H+ ion are called monoprotic acids.

• Common monoprotic acids include HCl, HNO3 and HC2H3O2.

• Acids that ionize to form two H+ ions are called diprotic acids.

• A common diprotic acid is H2SO4.

• Strong acids include: HCl, HBr, HI, HClO3, HClO4, H2SO4, and HNO3.

• We write the ionization of HCl as: HCl → H+ + Cl–

Identifying Strong and Weak Electrolytes

32

• Compounds can be classified as strong electrolytes, weak electrolytes, or nonelectrolytes by looking

at their solubility.

• Strong electrolytes:

• Soluble ionic compounds are strong electrolytes.

• Molecular compounds that are strong acids are strong electrolytes.

• Weak electrolytes:

• Weak acids and bases are weak electrolytes.

• A neutralization reaction occurs when an acid and a base react:

• HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → H2O(l) + NaCl(aq)

• (acid) + (base) (water) + (salt)

• In general, an acid and a base react to form a salt.

• There are many bases besides OH– that react with H+ to form molecular compounds.

• Reaction of sulfides with acid gives rise to H2S(g).

• Sodium sulfide (Na2S) reacts with HCl to form H2S(g):

• Molecular equation:

Na2S(aq) + 2HCl(aq) → H2S(g) + 2NaCl(aq)

• Net ionic equation: 2H+(aq) + S2–(aq) → H2S(g)

FORWARD REFERENCES:

• Strong acids and bases will be revisited in Chapter 16.

• Strong acids and bases will be used as titrants in acid-base titrations (Chapter 17)

• Equilibria involving weak acids and bases will be further discussed in Chapters 16 and 17.

• Environmental impact of weak acid equilibria will be discussed on Chapter 18.

4.4 Oxidation-Reduction Reactions

Oxidation and Reduction

42

,

43

,

44

,

45

• Oxidation-reduction, or redox, reactions involve the transfer of electrons between reactants.

• When a substances loses electrons, it undergoes oxidation:

Ca(s) + 2H+(aq) → Ca2+(aq) + H2(g)

Oxidation Numbers

50

• Electrons are not explicitly shown in chemical equations.

• Oxidation numbers (or oxidation states) help up keep track of electrons during chemical reactions.

• Oxidation numbers are assigned to atoms using specific rules.

• For an atom in its elemental form, the oxidation number is always zero.

• For any monatomic ion, the oxidation number equals the charge on the ion; positive for metals

and negative for nonmetals.

• The oxidation number of oxygen is usually –2.

Oxidation of Metals by Acids and Salts

• We can list metals in order of decreasing ease of oxidation.

• This list is an activity series.

• The metals at the top of the activity series are called active metals.

• The metals at the bottom of the activity series are called noble metals.

4.5 Concentrations of Solutions

60

,

61

• The term concentration is used to indicate the amount of solute dissolved in a given quantity of

solvent or solution.

Molarity

62

,

63

• Solutions can be prepared with different concentrations by adding different amounts of solute to

solvent.

Chapter 4

Expressing the Concentration of an Electrolyte

64

• When an ionic compound dissolves, the relative concentrations of the ions in the solution depend on

Interconverting Molarity, Moles, and Volume

• The definition of molarity contains three quantities: molarity, moles of solute, and liters of solution.

• If we know any two of these, we can calculate the third.

• Dimensional analysis can be helpful in these calculations.

Dilution

65

,

66

,

67

• A solution in concentrated form (stock solution) is mixed with solvent to obtain a solution of lower

solute concentration.

FORWARD REFERENCES:

• Molarity will be used throughout the course as the most common form of concentration.

• The concept of molarity is not limited to solutions; one can calculate molarity for gases and

use them in Kc expressions in Chapter 15 and beyond.

4.6 Solution Stoichiometry and Chemical Analysis

68

• In approaching stoichiometry problems:

• recognize that there are two different types of units:

• laboratory units (the macroscopic units that we measure in lab) and

• chemical units (the microscopic units that relate to moles).

Reactions in Aqueous Solution

55

• Always convert the laboratory units into chemical units first.

• Convert grams to moles using molar mass.

• Convert volume or molarity into moles using M = mol/L.

75

• A common way to determine the concentration of a solution is via titration.

• We determine the concentration of one substance by allowing it to undergo a specific chemical

reaction, of known stoichiometry, with a substance with known concentration (standard solution).

• Monoprotic acids and bases react with each other in a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1.

• Example: Suppose we know the molarity of an NaOH solution and we want to find the molarity of an

HCl solution.

• What do we know?

• molarity of NaOH, volume of HCl

• What do we want?

• molarity of HCl

• What do we do?
