Precipitation Reactions

Precipitation reactions are reactions in which a solid forms when we mix two solutions.

1) reactions between aqueous solutions of ionic compounds 2) produce an ionic compound that is insoluble in water 3) The insoluble product is called a precipitate.

Process for Predicting the Products ofa Precipitation Reaction

1. Determine which ions are present in each aqueous reactant.

2. Determine formulas of possible products.

3. Determine solubility of each potential product in water.

4. If neither product will precipitate, write no reaction after the arrow.

5. If any of the possible products are insoluble, write their formulas as the products of the reaction using (s) after the formula to indicate solid. Write any soluble products with (aq) after the formula to indicate aqueous.

6. Balance the equation. Remember to only change coefficients, not subscripts

Ionic Equations

Equations that describe the material’s structure when dissolved are called complete ionic equations.

Aqueous strong electrolytes are written as ions.

Insoluble substances, weak electrolytes, and nonelectrolytes are

written as molecules.

Equations that describe the chemicals put into the water and the product molecules are called molecular equations.

Acids and Bases

Page 22: Classifying Chemical Reactions by What Atoms Doprofkatz.com/.../02/CH4-Classification-of-Reactions-copy.pdfChemical Reactions Classified by Reaction Type Precipitation Reactions Precipitation

Acids and Bases in Solution

Acids ionize in water to form H+ ions. (More precisely, the H+ from the acid molecule is donated

to a water molecule to form hydronium ion, H3O+)

Bases dissociate in water to form OH- ions. (Bases, such as NH3, that do not contain OH- ions,

produce OH- by pulling H+ off water molecules.)

In the reaction of an acid with a base, the H+ from the acid combines with the OH- from the base to make water.

The cation from the base combines with the anion from the acid to make a salt.

TitrationA solution’s concentration is determined by

reacting it with another solution and using stoichiometry – this process is called titration.

In the titration, the unknown solution is added to a known amount of another reactant until the reaction is just completed. At this point, called the endpoint, the reactants are in their stoichiometric ratio.

The unknown solution is added slowly from an instrument called a burette.

Page 32: Classifying Chemical Reactions by What Atoms Doprofkatz.com/.../02/CH4-Classification-of-Reactions-copy.pdfChemical Reactions Classified by Reaction Type Precipitation Reactions Precipitation

Acid-Base Titrations

The difficulty is determining when there has been just enough titrant added to complete the reaction.

In acid-base titrations, because both the reactant and product solutions are colorless, a chemical (indicator) is added that changes color when the solution undergoes large changes in acidity/alkalinity

At the endpoint of an acid-base titration, the number of moles of H+ equals the number of moles of OH-(equivalence point).

Page 33: Classifying Chemical Reactions by What Atoms Doprofkatz.com/.../02/CH4-Classification-of-Reactions-copy.pdfChemical Reactions Classified by Reaction Type Precipitation Reactions Precipitation

TitrationThe titrant is the base solution in the burette.

As the titrant is added tothe flask, the H+ reacts with the OH– to form water. But there is still excess acid present so the color does not change.

At the titration’s endpoint,just enough base has been added to neutralize all the acid. At this point the indicator changes color.

Reactions of Metals with Nonmetals

Consider the following reactions:

4 Na(s) + O2(g) → 2 Na2O(s)2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2 NaCl(s)

The reactions involve a metal reacting with a nonmetal.

In addition, both reactions involve the conversion of free elements into ions.

Na2O = 2 Na+ + O2-

NaCl = Na+ + Cl-

Page 52: Classifying Chemical Reactions by What Atoms Doprofkatz.com/.../02/CH4-Classification-of-Reactions-copy.pdfChemical Reactions Classified by Reaction Type Precipitation Reactions Precipitation

Oxidation and Reduction

To convert a free element into an ion, the atoms must gain or lose electrons (of course, if one atom loses electrons, another must accept them).

Atoms that lose electrons are being oxidized, atoms that gain electrons are being reduced.

2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2 Na+Cl–(s)Na → Na+ + 1 e– oxidationCl2 + 2 e– → 2 Cl– reduction

Page 53: Classifying Chemical Reactions by What Atoms Doprofkatz.com/.../02/CH4-Classification-of-Reactions-copy.pdfChemical Reactions Classified by Reaction Type Precipitation Reactions Precipitation

Electron BookkeepingFor reactions that are not metal + nonmetal, or do not involve

O2, we need a method for determining how the electrons are transferred.

Chemists assign a number to each element in a reaction called an oxidation state that allows them to determine the electron flow in the reaction.

Even though they look like them, oxidation states are not ion charges!

Oxidation states are imaginary charges assigned based on a set of rules.

Ion charges are real, measurable charges.

Page 54: Classifying Chemical Reactions by What Atoms Doprofkatz.com/.../02/CH4-Classification-of-Reactions-copy.pdfChemical Reactions Classified by Reaction Type Precipitation Reactions Precipitation

Rules for Assigning Oxidation States(in order of priority)

1. Free elements have an oxidation state = 0.

In Na (s), Na = 0 ; In Cl2 (g), Cl2 = 0

2. Monatomic ions have an oxidation state equal to their charge.

In NaCl, Na = +1 and Cl = −1

3. (a) The sum of the oxidation states of all the atoms in a compound is 0.

Na = +1 and Cl = −1 in NaCl, (+1) + (−1) = 0

Page 55: Classifying Chemical Reactions by What Atoms Doprofkatz.com/.../02/CH4-Classification-of-Reactions-copy.pdfChemical Reactions Classified by Reaction Type Precipitation Reactions Precipitation

Rules for Assigning Oxidation States(in order of priority)

3. (b) The sum of the oxidation states of all the atoms in a polyatomic ion equals the charge on the ion.

In NO3–, N = +5 and O = −2 [3 x (2-) + 1 x (5+) = -1]

4. (a) Group I metals have an oxidation state of +1 in all their compounds.

(b) Group II metals have an oxidation state of +2 in all their compounds.

O = −2, (Rule 5) & S = +6, (Rule 3b)

Determine the oxidation states of all the atoms in a propanoate ion, C3H5O2–

There are no free elements or free ions in propanoate, so the first rule that applies is Rule 3b

(C3) + (H5) + (O2) = −1

Because all the atoms are nonmetals, the next rule we use is Rule 5, following the elements in order:H = +1O = −2

(C3) + 5(+1) + 2(−2) = −1(C3) = −2C = −⅔
