Types of Chemical Reactions SOLUTION STOICHIOMETRY
Water, the Common Solvent V-shaped (sometimes called bent) H-O-H bond angle is 105° Covalent bonding, but the electrons of the bond are not shared equally and the bond is said to have a dipole (charge separation). WHY? Oxygen is much more electronegative atom than hydrogen: the shared electrons are attracted to oxygen more than hydrogen.
POLARITY An unequal sharing of electrons in a bond causes there to be a charge separation and though not like in an ionic bond where the electron is transferred, the atom with more electron ‘pull’ will have a partial negative charge because it experiences more electrons than in the neutral atom. Likewise the opposing atom will have a partial positive charge because it feels less electron density than its neutral state. If the individual bond DIPOLES (charge separations) CANCEL in a covalent molecule, then the molecule is NONPOLAR. Methane If the individual bond dipoles do NOT cancel each other out then the molecule is POLAR. Water
WATER is POLAR POLAR = NET DIPOLE NONPOLAR = NO NET DIPOLE Individual bond dipoles CANCEL
Intermolecular forces of attraction (between molecules) are very strong and explain its high boiling point, 100°C. These IMF’s in water are called hydrogen bonds, but do not confuse these attractions with chemical bonds!
Water’s polarity explains its ability to DISSOLVEmany compounds.
Electrolytes- any species that allows movement of charge (ions)=> conducts electricity Strong electrolytes- 100% ionize when dissolved in water STRONG ACIDSSTRONG BASES SOLUBLE SALTS HClLiOHKnow your Rules HBrNaOH HIKOH HClO4CsOH HNO3 H2SO4 Weak electrolytes – ionize only to a small degree when dissolved in water. (organic acids) Nonelectrolytes – molecular(covalent) compounds when dissolved in water do not ionize. (sugar)
Remember Solubility Rules from summer camp! Quiz tomorrow All group I metal salts and ammonium salts are soluble Li +, Na +, K +, Rb +, Cs + and NH 4 + All nitrates are soluble, NO 3 - and acetates are soluble, C 2 H 3 O 2 - Most chlorides, bromides, and iodides are soluble EXCEPT Ag+, Pb(2+), Hg 2 (2+) Most sulfates are soluble EXCEPT Ag+, Pb(2+), Hg 2 (2+), Ca (2+), Sr (2+), Ba (2+)
MEMORIZE YOUR POLYATOMICS!!!! Daily quizzes until you score 100% For those of you that do not listen: You are losing needless points on tests due to your lack of initialtive- FIX IT! FIX IT! FIX IT!
Precipitation Reactions (DR) When two aqueous solutions are mixed and a solid forms. CAUTION ABOUT THE CONTEXT: solids formed from mixing solutions are called precipitates. These rxns are double replacement (DR) type- meaning ‘switch partners’ to determine the products.
Q: Write the reaction when aqueous potassium carbonate is added to lead(II) nitrate. Step 1 : write the formulas for each of the solutions being mixed. K2CO3 + Pb(NO3) > PRODUCTS Step 2 : switch partners to get products: cation of first solution goes with the anion of the second solution. My analogy to help you remember this is from multiplying binomials: outer ions pair up, inner pairs up K2CO3 + Pb(NO3)2 Step 3: Do NOT carry subscripts into products. You MUST rebalance charges to get the proper product formulas. KNO 3 + PbCO 3
POP QUIZ Mixing of which of the following solutions will cause a precipitate to form? (a) Potassium nitrate and barium chloride (b) Sodium sulfate and lead(II) nitrate (c) Potassium hydroxide and iron(III) nitrate
A precipitation reaction occurs when mixing solutions a precipitate forms. ____________ _____________ are used to determine if a precipitate froms. Draw what is in the beaker containing a silver nitrate solution. Draw what is in the beaker containing an ammonium chloride solution. A student pours the contents of the first beaker into the second. Draw the result of this mixing.
On the AP assume ALL RXNS OCCUR When solutions are mixed and no precipitate forms then nothing new is made = No RXN Draw what is in the beaker containing a solution of sodium chloride. Draw what is in the beaker containing a solution of zinc sulfate. A student pours the first beaker’s contents into the second. Did a reaction occur? Draw the beaker’s contents to Justify your answer.
