Law of Conservation of Matter “Matter can neither be created nor destroyed” – Antoine Lavoisier, 1774 If a complete chemical reaction has occurred, all of the reactant atoms must be present in the product(s)

Law of Conservation of Matter a) b) Stoichiometric coefficients are necessary to balance the equation so that the Law of Conservation of Matter is not violated 6 molecules of Cl 2 react with 1 molecule of P 4 3 molecules of Cl 2 react with 2 molecules of Fe

Example of Using Stoichiometric Coefficients

Balancing Chemical Reactions Let’s look at Oxide Formation Metals/Nonmetals may react with oxygen to form an oxide with the formula M x O y Example 1: Iron reacts with oxygen to give Iron (III) Oxide Fe (s) + O 2 (g) → Fe 2 O 3 (s)

How do we solve it? Step 1: Look at the product. There are 3 atoms of oxygen in the product, but we start with an even number of oxygen atoms. –Let’s convert the # of oxygens in the product to an even number Fe (s) + O 2 (g) → Fe 2 O 3 (s) Result: Fe (s) + O 2 (g) → 2Fe 2 O 3 (s)

How do we Solve It? Then, balance the reactant side and make sure the number/type of atoms on each side balance. Fe (s) + O 2 (g) → 2Fe 2 O 3 (s) Balanced Equation: 4Fe (s) + 3O 2 (g) → 2Fe 2 O 3 (s)

How do we Solve It? Example 2: Sulfur and oxygen react to form sulfur dioxide. S (s) + O 2 (g) → SO 2 (g) Step 1: Look at the reaction. We lucked out! Balanced Equation: S (s) + O 2 (g) → SO 2 (g)

How do we Solve It? Example 3: Phosphorus (P 4 ) reacts with oxygen to give tetraphosphorus decaoxide. P 4 (s) + O 2 (g) → P 4 O 10 (s) Step 1: Look at the reaction. The phosphorus atoms are balanced, so let’s balance the oxygens. Balanced Equation: P 4 (s) + 5O 2 (g) → P 4 O 10 (g)

How do we Solve It? Example 4: Combustion of Octane (C 8 H 18 ). C 8 H 18 (l) + O 2 (g) → CO 2 (g) + H 2 O (g) Step 1: Look at the reaction. Then: –Balance the Carbons C 8 H 18 (l) + O 2 (g) → 8CO 2 (g) + H 2 O (g)

How do we Solve It? Step 2: Balance the Hydrogens C 8 H 18 (l) + O 2 (g) → 8CO 2 (g) + 9H 2 O (g) C 8 H 18 (l) + O 2 (g) → 8CO 2 (g) + H 2 O (g) Step 3: Balance the Oxygens –Problem! Odd number of oxygen atoms 12.5 Oxygens on reactant side –Solution: Double EVERY coefficient (even those with a value of ‘1’)

How do we Solve It? Step 3 (cont’d): Balance the Oxygens 2C 8 H 18 (l) + 25O 2 (g) → 16CO 2 (g) + 18H 2 O (g) C 8 H 18 (l) O 2 (g) → 8CO 2 (g) + 9H 2 O (g) Step 4: Make sure everything checks out

Review of Balancing Equations

Aqueous Solutions and Precipitation Reactions Terminology: 1.Soluble substance: A substance that dissolves to a significant extent in a specific solvent Electrolytes: Strong acid, strong base, soluble ionic compounds 2.Insoluble substance: A substance that does not dissolve significantly in a specific solvent Soluble K 2 CrO 4 (yellow) Soluble AgNO 3 (clear) Insoluble Ag 2 CrO 4 (red)

Electrolytes Remember that when dealing with strong acids and strong bases, the two will react to make a salt and water –Strong acids: Any hydrohalogen acid Nitric, Chloric and sulfuric acids –Strong bases: Group I hydroxides Group 2, Period 3 or higher hydroxides Group 1/Group 2 Oxides To determine how much strong acid or base to add necessary to neutralize a strong base or acid, you’ll need to know what? 

Precipitation Reactions In a Precipitation Reaction, an insoluble product forms when we mix two electrolyte solutions What determines if something precipitates when the solutions are mixed? –Intermolecular forces between the solute and solvent –The entropy change that occurs as a result of solvation If we mix the soluble solutions NaCl (aq) and AgNO 3 (aq)

How do we determine if a precipitate forms? Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation for the double displacement reaction AB + CD --> AD + BC Remember the charges on the ions Step 2: Using the Solubility rules, determine if either product is insoluble –If all products are insoluble, then no reaction occurs Step 3: Write the Complete and Net Ionic equations for the reaction

Complete and Net Ionic Equations A Complete Ionic Equation shows all chemical species present in the reaction A Net Ionic Equation shows the net change taking place in the reaction –The Net Ionic Equation is made by taking the Spectator Ions out of the complete ionic equation 

Solubility Equilibria When we put an ionic compound in a solvent, even if it is considered to be insoluble, some small number of ions dissolve into the bulk phase For an ionic solid of formula AB, this can be expressed as the equilibrium reaction: AB (s)  A + (aq) + B - (aq)

Solubility Product The equilibrium constant for the solubility equilibrium of an ionic solid is called the solubility product, K sp AB(s)  mA + (aq) + nB - (aq) Ksp = [A + ] m [B - ] n We don’t put [AB] in the denominator, why?

Solubility Product The smaller the value of K sp, the less soluble an ionic solid is We calculate K sp using Molar Solubility Molar concentration of the compound in a saturated solution 

Solubility Product We can use the solubility products and molar solubilities to predict how precipitation will proceed Remember: Low K sp, Low Solubility

The Common Ion Effect We can use Le Chatelier’s Principle to find a way to remove ions from solution –Application: Heavy metal cleanup CdCO 3  Cd 2+ + CO 3 2- If we add potassium carbonate to the solution, what will happen? The decrease in CdCO 3 soubility caused by addition of another carbonate salt is an example of The Common Ion Effect
