© Copyright R.J. Rusay Aqueous Reactions  There are several general types: 1) Precipitation: An insoluble salt forms from the addition of solutions. (Refer to Solubility Rules) 2) Acid-Base Reactions (Neutralization) generally produces a salt plus water 3) Oxidation-Reduction (Redox) there is a change in oxidation numbers between reactants and products

Solution Test Apparatus for Electrolytes

Electrolytes  Aqueous solutions can be categorized into 3 types: non-electrolytes, strong electrolytes or weak electrolytes based on their ability to conduct electricity.  A solution must have ions to conduct.  Pure Water does not conduct.  Aqueous solutions can be tested for conductivity which will determine the degree of ionization of the solutes.  It is possible to have full or partial ionization.

© Copyright R.J. Rusay Electrolytes  Almost all ionic compounds and a few molecular compounds are strong electrolytes.  Several molecular compounds are weak conductors, most are non-conductors.  Conductivity is directly related to the amount of ionization, i.e. ions in solution. Table salt, sodium chloride, is completely ionized: NaCl (s) + H 2 O (l) ---> NaCl (aq) ---> 0.10MNa + (aq) + Cl - (aq) 0.00M 0.10M 0.10M

© Copyright R.J. Rusay Electrolytes  Sugars like sucrose are non-ionic, molecular compounds that dissolve but produce no ions. C 12 H 22 O 11 (S) + H 2 O (l) ----> C 12 H 22 O 11 (aq)  Some molecular compounds like acetic acid ionize partially (dissociate) in water HC 2 H 3 O 2 (l) + H 2 O (l) H 3 O + (aq) M C 2 H 3 O 2 - (aq) M0.0013M

© Copyright R.J. Rusay Aqueous Bases  Any compound that accepts a proton is a base.  The common bases are group IA & IIA metal hydroxide compounds. They are strong bases, dissociating completely in water.  An example of a weak base is ammonia. NH 3 (g) + H 2 O (l) NH 3 (aq) NH 4 + (aq) + OH - (aq)
