Reactions in Aqueous Solutions

Water is the most universal of all liquids. Water has a relatively large heat capacity, and a relatively large liquid range, which means it can absorb the heat liberated by many reactions while still remaining in the liquid state. Water is very polar and dissolves well both ionic solutes and solutes with which it can hydrogen-bond (this is especially important to the biochemical reactions of the living cell). Driving forces are types of changes in a system that pull a reaction in the direction of product formation; driving forces include formation of a solid, formation of water, formation of a gas, and transfer of electrons. The net charge of a precipitate must be zero. The total number of positive charges equals the total number of negative charges. When an electrolyte such as NaCl (sodium chloride) is dissolved in water, the resulting solution consists of separate, individual, discrete sodium ions (Na+) and separate, individual, discrete chloride ions (Cl). There are no identifiable NaCl units in such a solution. A substance is said to be a strong electrolyte if each unit of the substance produces separated, distinct ions when the substance is dissolved in water. NaCl and KNO3 are both strong electrolytes. NaNO3 must be soluble in water. For most practical purposes, insoluble and slightly soluble mean the same thing. The difference between insoluble and slightly soluble could be crucial if, for example, a substance were highly toxic and were found in a water supply. a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. soluble (Rule 1: most nitrate salts are soluble) soluble (Rule 2: most potassium salts are soluble) soluble (Rule 2: most sodium salts are soluble) insoluble (Rule 5: most hydroxide compounds are insoluble) insoluble (Rule 3: exception for chloride salts) soluble (Rule 2: most ammonium salts are soluble) insoluble (Rule 6: most sulfide salts are insoluble) insoluble (Rule 4: exception for sulfate salts) Rule 5: most hydroxides are only slightly soluble Rule 6: most carbonates are only slightly soluble Rule 6: most phosphates are only slightly soluble Rule 3: exception to the rule for chlorides

Hint: when balancing equations involving polyatomic ions, especially in precipitation reactions, balance the polyatomic ions as a unit, not in terms of the atoms the polyatomic ions contain (e.g., treat nitrate ion, NO3, as a single entity, not as one nitrogen and three oxygen atoms). When finished balancing, however, do be sure to count the individual number of atoms of each type on each side of the equation. a.

The products are determined by having the ions switch partners. For example, for a general reaction AB + CD , the possible products are AD and CB if the ions switch partners. If either AD or CB is insoluble, then a precipitation reaction has occurred. In the following reaction, the formula of the precipitate is given in boldface type. a.

The formulas of the salts are marked in boldface type.

In general, the salt formed in an aqueous acidbase reaction consists of the positive ion of the base involved in the reaction, combined with the negative ion of the acid. The hydrogen ion of the strong acid combines with the hydroxide ion of the strong base to produce water, which is the other product of the acidbase reactions. a. b. c. d. 2NaOH(aq) + H2SO4(aq) RbOH(aq) + HNO3(aq) KOH(aq) + HClO4(aq) KOH(aq) + HCl(aq) 2H2O(l) + Na2SO4(aq) H2O(l) + RbNO3(aq) H2O(l) + KClO4(aq) H2O(l) + KCl(aq)

A driving force, in general, is an event that tends to help to convert the reactants of a process into the products. Some elements (metals) tend to lose electrons, while other elements (nonmetals) tend to gain electrons. A transfer of electrons from atoms of a metal to atoms of a nonmetal would be favorable, and would result in a chemical reaction. A simple example of such a process is the reaction of sodium with chlorine: sodium atoms tend to each lose one electron (to form Na+), whereas chlorine atoms tend to each gain one electron (to form Cl). The reaction of sodium metal with chlorine gas represents a transfer of electrons from sodium atoms to chlorine atoms to form sodium chloride. The metallic element loses electrons and the nonmetallic element gains electrons. Each potassium atom would lose one electron to become a K+ ion. Each sulfur atom would gain two electrons to become a S2 ion. Two potassium atoms would have to be oxidized to provide the two electrons needed to reduce one sulfur atom. AlBr3 is made up of Al3+ ions and Br ions. Aluminum atoms each lose three electrons to become Al3+ ions. Bromine atoms each gain one electron to become Br ions (so each Br2 molecule gains two electrons to become two Br ions).

A double-displacement reaction has the form AB + CD AD + CB. In a doubledisplacement reaction, when two solutions of ionic solutes are mixed, the positive ions of the two solutes exchange anions (this presupposes that some driving force is present that causes a detectable reaction to occur). Two examples are: Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2HCl(aq) BaCl2(aq) + Na2SO4(aq) PbCl2(s) + 2HNO3(aq) BaSO4(s) + 2NaCl(aq)

A single-displacement reaction has the form A + BC AC + B. In a single-displacement reaction, a new element replaces a less active element in its compound. Two examples are: Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) 31. ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)

Examples of formation of water: HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) H2SO4(aq) + 2KOH(aq) Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) 2KClO3(s) H2O(l) + NaCl(aq) 2H2O(l) + K2SO4(aq)

Examples of formation of a gaseous product: MgCl2(aq) + H2(g) 2KCl(s) + 3O2(g)

A synthesis reaction represents the production of a given compound from simpler substances (either elements or simpler compounds). For example, O2(g) + 2F2(g) 2OF2(g)

represents a simple synthesis reaction. Synthesis reactions may often (but not necessarily always) also be classified in other ways. For example, the reaction C(s) + O2(g) CO2(g)

could also be classified as an oxidationreduction reaction, or as a combustion reaction (a special subclassification of oxidationreduction reaction that produces a flame). As another example, the reaction 2Fe(s) + 3Cl2(g) 2FeCl3(s)

is a synthesis reaction that also is an oxidationreduction reaction. 35. A decomposition reaction is one in which a given compound is broken down into simpler compounds or constituent elements. The reactions CaCO3(s) 2HgO(s) CaO(s) + CO2(g) 2Hg(l) + O2(g)

both represent decomposition reactions. Such reactions often (but not necessarily always) may be classified in other ways. For example, the reaction of HgO(s) is also an oxidation reduction reaction.

Compounds like those in parts b and c of this problem, containing only carbon and hydrogen, are called hydrocarbons. When a hydrocarbon is reacted with oxygen (O2), the hydrocarbon is almost always converted to carbon dioxide and water vapor. Since water molecules contain an odd number of oxygen atoms, whereas O2 contains an even number of oxygen atoms, it is often difficult to balance such equations. For this reason, it is simpler to balance the equation using fractional coefficients if necessary, and then to multiply by a factor that will give whole number coefficients for the final balanced equation. a.

A molecular equation uses the normal, uncharged formulas for the compounds involved. The complete ionic equation shows the compounds involved broken up into their respective ions (all ions present are shown). The net ionic equation shows only those ions that combine to form a precipitate, a gas, or a nonionic product such as water. The net ionic equation shows most clearly the species that are combining with each other. In several cases, the given ion may be precipitated by many reactants. The following are only three of the possible examples. a. Chloride ion would precipitate when treated with solutions containing silver ion, lead(II) ion, or mercury(I) ion.
